Abstract

Emergency Response Maps for the EOC
Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: David Allen

The Texas Emergency GIS Response Team (TxEGRT) trains GIS professionals to perform disaster related emergency response mapping for local EOC's or disaster response centers. In this presentation I'll talk about how we got started, the templates and data that we use, and how others can follow this example for their own areas. I'll also highlight some of the disasters we've responded to and show how we use the ESRI response templates for our mapping.
