2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Emergency Response Runbook: The Importance of Consistent Street Addressing Methods Track: EMS, Fire and Disaster Management Author(s): Tim Morales The Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) and the City of Fort Collins GIS are working together to create and maintain a system that will dynamically generate a runbook to be used in emergency response vehicles. The runbooks are a very important reference for adequate emergency response. The primary challenge encountered is to overcome different methodologies of address reporting, creating, and updating from different local government agencies. Secondary challenges included developing a method to use feature linked annotations in runbook map pages, developing a programmatic method with ArcView 8.x and VBA for creating runbook map pages, and handling the implications of data migration from the Esri coverage format to the Esri geodatabase format.
