Nebraska Strategic National Stockpile Management
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Chris Chalmers, Jeff Arnold

Nebraska Health and Human Services GIS, winner of the 2004 Special Achievement in GIS award, has developed a Web mapping application for managing the disbursement of pharmaceuticals in the event of an emergency requiring mass care. The application maps all levels of the distribution channels and provides quick and easy access to inventory. This inventory information can be quickly compared to population information from the census for a particular geographic area. The application also maps the location of users of the system. The application additionally provides tools for collaboration and transaction management. This application is one of many that combine to provide Nebraska Health and Human Services with a powerful GIS for public health.
