Abstract
Developing an Incident Response System - Panel Discussion
Track: Homeland Security
Author(s): Eric Conrad
Over the last two years the Pennsylvania Departments of
Environmental Protection (DEP), Health, and Agriculture built the GIS based
Pennsylvania West Nile Surveillance System. That model has evolved into an
Incident Response System for emergency incidents including tracking
bio-terrorism, ag-terrorism, haz-mat spills or other emergency type
responses. The system facilitates locating the incidents and then assists in the coordination between response agencies. PAIRS is the best GIS based
solution to provide a system for terrorism actions response because it
builds upon the existing experience, infrastructure and database that were
successfully developed to respond to the West Nile Virus.
