 Dynamic Additions and Updates to Spatial Data Through the Internet Track: Application Development Author(s): Brent Porter, Chris Williams TNRIS (Texas Natural Resources Information System) has designed a Web interface and database design for collecting and displaying information about emergency facilities (i.e., evacuation shelters, including location, status, photographs, type of facility, etc). This application uses ArcIMS, ColdFusion, and Java API for SDE and SDE/SQL Server to obtain information about shelters for visualization and logistics support through a Web-based tabular interface and a custom ArcIMS application. Specifically, the application will help local, regional, and state officials make better decisions about where and when to open a shelter in the event of an emergency such as a hurricane. More generally the application shows a proof of concept for dynamic updates to spatial datasets over the Internet as well as good database design and implementation strategies for such an application.
