Cooperative Technology: Leveraging GIS Investments for Multi-Jurisdictional Disaster Response Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): John Robillard Is your GIS program struggling to show a return on investment? Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is working with multiple federal, state, local, and commercial agencies to integrate each organization's existing GIS technology to enable shared emergency response modeling and visualization capabilities. Providing a common visualization capability to incident commanders and policy makers across agencies promises to reduce conflicted understandings of the event. Air Force Space Command consists of eight bases in the Continental U.S. Outside the fences of each base are cities, counties, and federal lands. Since 9/11, defense installations must consider their neighboring communities as a possible battle-space and establish strong joint-response capabilities with non-DoD responders for emergency events. AFSPC's standards-based approach is being considered as a national model for technology sharing for the Homeland Security mission.
