tailieunhanh - A Guide to GIS Applications in Integrated Emergency Management

This guide is intended to establish authoritative guidance on the application of GIS in civil protection, to assist users in the specification, acquisition and maintenance of a GIS and to stimulate debate in the user community about the future development and application of GIS and related technologies. The primary audience is anticipated to be staff in Category One responders identified in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, most notably in Local Authority Emergency Planning Units. | Emergency Planning College A Guide to GIS Applications in Integrated Emergency Management A Guide to GIS Applications in Integrated Emergency Management Version This is version of this guide issued on November 30th 2005.

Note on the Use of Mapping in Scenarios In addition to a series of case studies a number of hypothetical scenarios are used in this guide and Ordnance Survey StrategiTM data are combined with fictional data to illustrate these scenarios. However no backdrop mapping is used as the scenarios are not intended to be place-specific. Perseverance would of course allow a reader to identify which area the data relate to but they are intended to remain generic and so assumptions about the availability or accuracy of the data must not be made. Acknowledgements A large number of people in a wide range of agencies supported the writing of this document supplying material for case studies providing illustrations and discussing and helping to formulate the ideas. There are too many to mention by name and acknowledgements of source are given where relevant in the text but sincere thanks go to all who supported the project. 1 A Guide to GIS Applications in .
