Emergency Mangement Task Force

Current Status
The Emergency Management Task Force submitted their final recommendations in June 2006. 

Mission Statement
The Mission of the group was to "Identify the need and scope of a statewide homeland security geospatial strategy.  Make recommendations on the steps needed to implement such a strategy." Four objectives were identified.

• Bridge communication gap between GIS and emergency management communities.
• Recommend steps towards developing a statewide geospatial strategy for emergency management.
• Recommend how future emergency management plans might better utilize GIS and geospatial data.
• Identify issues related to emergency management dataset sharing, inventory, and access.
