HOW ENTERPRISE GIS IS APPLIED IN OUR REGION: A LOOK AT NJMC'S EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Abstract: Dom Elefante and Brian Kennedy from MERI’s GIS unit will give a presentation to the New Jersey Transportation Planning Authority that will cover NJMC’s enterprise GIS for the Meadowlands District and the region, including GIS integration for all Meadowlands municipalities (not only focusing on in-District areas). Additionally, the presentation will focus on the NJMC’s efforts in providing emergency management and solutions to identify and key-in on areas that municipalities have identified as critical assets, and to be able to target industrial facilities that may contain hazardous substances. The program will also feature the Borough of East Rutherford, illustrating their involvement and setup when it comes to emergency services and response and how Google Earth was integrated in this enterprise solution.
