Abstract
Implementing an Enterprise GIS at the FEMA Map Service Center
Track: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): Wing Chong
The Map Service Center (MSC) is a physical warehouse and distribution center for Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). FIRMs show floodplain information and are used by federal agencies, municipalities, engineers, and assessors to determine insurance premiums on property. Over the past two years, Michael Baker Corporation (Baker) and Zimmerman and Associates (ZAI) have digitally transformed the MSC from a paper-filled warehouse. This paper describes the various technological initiatives and their implementations including (but not limited to) an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, an e-commerce Web site, and a multiterabyte digital library.
