AbstractMaryland's TriCounties Receive Project Impact Grant Track: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management Author(s): Jamie Thorness, Lisa Feusahrens PSC is working with the emergency managers of three southern Maryland counties: Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's, which have been designated as "Project Impact Communities." The counties have received a grant from FEMA to assess and implement disaster prevention strategies. PSC is integrating MaxResponder with the capabilities of EM2000. It will be brought into the Emergency Operations Center and to the Naval Air Station, Patuxent, Maryland, to consolidate, administer, and share the regional GIS information. GIS will be utilized by the EOCs to perform contingency planning and mitigation and will provide a key component in accelerating response by fire, police, and emergency personnel.
