GIS for Homeland Security
Securing the homeland from terrorist attacks and natural disasters is a multifaceted mission that involves all levels of government and the private sector. Sharing information, data, and intelligence in a coordinated fashion is essential to this mission, and geographic information systems (GIS) help make it happen. Whether assessing the risks of an attack, bracing for devastating weather, or dealing with the aftermath of a catastrophe, the integrating technology of GIS sets the foundation for strategic action.
GIS for Homeland Security chronicles the accomplishments of progressive programs that have embraced geospatial technology to assess vulnerabilities, coordinate response, and facilitate recovery. Lessons learned from horrific events, including the September 11, 2001, attacks and Hurricane Katrina, have been applied to a vast array of homeland security challenges chronicled in this book.
GIS for Homeland Security also spotlights the visionaries who have applied spatial technology in the field — including the national stage — to develop model solutions to real threats. This book is for decision makers and first responders, for GIS users who see its unlimited potential, and for those new to spatial technology.
