Abstract
First Response GIS Emergency Data Infrastructure for Riverside County, CA
Track: Homeland Security
Author(s): Wayde York, William Mumbleau
Underway well before the emergencies of September 11, 2001, the County of Riverside's TLMA GIS developed a County-wide GIS data distribution system for the EOC and field incident command. The program was to deploy basic County geography combined with specific limited disaster management databases. As the disaster unfolded in New York and Washington, D.C., the County learned from GIS experts firsthand "lessons learned". In addition, under direction from NIMA and the USGS, the County was tasked with inventorying all spatial data for the Homeland Security Administration. This paper discusses the impacts and modifications to the initial plan and the revised approach that the County used in the effort.
