Abstract
GIS and Teamwork: The New Public Safety Backbone Track: EMS/Fire Author(s): Marc Berryman This paper will present a new look at how GIS and emerging technologies are affecting public safety. From response times to hard times, GIS plays an increasingly critical role on the front line as well as the bottom line. GIS and public safety are the perfect "common ground" for bringing multiple agencies and needs together to build accurate and cost effective spatial datasets for effective and cutting edge public safety applications. Come see how teamwork, innovation, cooperation, and GIS work together to improve public safety and the bottom line.
