A new multiuser, GIS-based Public Safety Sub-System (PSSS) for the Patuxent River Naval Air Base (PAX) in Lexington Park, Maryland has been developed that includes a computer aided dispatch (CAD)/E-911 application and a disaster preparedness/emergency management application. The CAD/E-911 application involves a highly customized, user-friendly ArcView GIS interface that combines spatial emergency analysis, routing of vehicles, and recording and retrieving emergency-related nonspatial data. The CAD/E-911 application is further augmented with Esri's ArcView Network Analyst extension, as well as other development tools and a robust Oracle database. Both spatial and nonspatial data were compiled from several sources including PAX Public Works, TIGER, St. Mary's County, Maryland, and commercial sources. This paper specifically describes the CAD/E-911 portion of the PSSS, which integrates many sources of data into a simple, fast, and coherent set of powerful emergency dispatch tools.
