2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Using ArcGIS to Create an Emergency Response Fire Atlas Track: EMS, Fire and Disaster Management Author(s): Jeffery Skahill Access to facilities and water sources is critical in emergency response to wildlands fire. This paper describes the process East Bay Municipal Utility District uses to collect field data and visually display emergency response information using ArcPad and ArcGIS tools. Utilizing ArcMap software's new ArcPad toolbar, data is checked out from the geodatabase to ArcPad so rangers can collect data while working in the field. After the new data is checked back into the geodatabase, ArcMap software's Map Book tool is used to create an atlas displaying critical information for fire responders around the District's property. This atlas is passed out to all agencies that respond to wildland fires in jurisdictions surrounding the District's watershed property.
