DMAPS GIS Initiatives DHS/NGA – Establish “chain-of-command” for GIS data.
WVU Tech Center – Partnered with OES for improved “critical infrastructure” data sets.
State Police – Have criminal incident data that is GIS ready.
Fire Marshal – Are acquiring a mapping extension for fire incidents.
Army Guard – Implementing GIS for counter-drug and counter-terrorism programs that tie into DHS initiatives.
County OES – Have critical GIS layers accessible via E-Team software for state-wide emergency response.
National Weather Service – Model flooding incidents based upon stream and rain gauge reporting to permit a real-time model.
