Situation Awareness to the iPad Using ArcGIS Online
Track: Mobile GIS
Authors: Timothy Oliver

iPad (Mobile)deployment has taken a priority in many local government organizations. Charged with not only deploying the iPad, but with providing access to the County's situational awareness application (ESRI Flex). All of this with no iOS programmers or a funding source to accomplish.

The Horry County team had to find a way to provide the information (not necessarily the full Flex experience nor full RBE functionality)to the mobile users. ArcGIS online became the mechanism to rapidly deploy to the mobile user, the critical real time information to the field. The mapping applications support the EOC, Law Enforcement, Fire EMS and Publice Wroks and Stormwater departments. Real time information such as 911 calls, storm information, outstanding warrants, traffica cameras and open work orders are just a few of the data sets available to mobile users. See how Horry County effectively uses ArcGIS online and the iPad to empower public safety staff.
