Abstract
Integrated GIS Solution for Mosquito Control
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Keven Boyd, Tammy Brewer, Patrick Bresnahan
The Richland County, South Carolina, GIS Department replaced the paper map/document work flow of the Vector Control Department with a GIS solution. First, an inventory of breeding sites, monitoring locations, and "at-risk" facilities (e.g., child care) was conducted using GPS. Second, historical documents were transferred to Access and Excel for quicker searches. Third, custom software for the iPAQ replaced paper field forms and a master database is updated from iPAQ back in the office. Fourth, by using Crystal Reports, status reports are now digital and e-mailed. Vector Control has created action plans for outbreaks, reduced paper work, and is completing more citizen requests.
