Abstract
Building, Updating, and Maintaining a Spatial Database for Public SafetyTrack: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Marc Edward Berryman
The Greater Harris County Emergency 9-1-1 Network, Houston Police Department, Houston Fire Department, Harris County Judicial Information System, and other agencies have joined forces to create a single, accurate, and up-to-date spatial database to meet the needs of public safety in the greater Houston area. Other law, fire, and public safety agencies are also using, and are involved in the refinement and accuracy of, the database. This paper describes the integration of multiple agency databases, multiple agency coordination of efforts, and lessons learned in the development of an accurate spatial database useful for a wide variety of public safety agencies.
