Central GIS Data Repository Project

There is a need for local governments to rely on technology to share GIS data across governmental boundaries at multiple governmental levels. The Central GIS Data Respository Project proposes an innovative GIS data sharing initiative to facilitate storage, access, retrieval, and redistribution of GIS data among local governments, as well as to state and federal government agencies as needed. The primary use of the GIS data would be in the event of an emergency, natural disaster, or human-caused disaster and would be available for use by local EMA personnel and local PSAP centers equipped for computer-aided dispatch.
