Abstract
 Maryland's Emergency Geographic Information Network, a Technical Walkthrough Track: System Implementation for GIS Author(s): Joe Bizzell, David Geeraerts The Maryland Emergency Geographic Information Network (MEGIN) is a coordinated information portal that serves geospatial information (metadata and secure map services) to the emergency management community at all levels of Maryland government. Developed by Towson University Center for Geographic Information Sciences (CGIS) with Esri's GIS Portal Toolkit search interface and third-party software, MEGIN leverages existing data coordination efforts currently underway in Maryland into an interoperable architecture to find, share, and integrate data and secure map services into the decision-making process throughout an emergency incident. The current MEGIN Web portal is composed of secure metadata search and publish applications and a tool to set granular permissions on the records. The MEGIN system also provides a way for remote data providers to securely publish map services. This presentation will be a walkthrough of the MEGIN system architecture with discussion on the application, system, and network components. Joe Bizzell Towson University Center for GIS 8000 York Rd.
