Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) are location-specific plans developed to provide guidance for oil spill responses throughout the United States. We created GIS maps with the focus of initial response for 21 counties in New York State. Data driven pages, GIS Collector App, Utility Network Analyst for water flow, many geoprocessing tools and ArcGIS online were used to create plans. The final product is a GIS Online map, Map package and KMZ. This is a complete GIS solution from beginning to end.
