3. GIS Overview Geospatial Information Services (GIS)
GIS is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data.
Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates types of data
Widely employed down to the county level in the US
CAP already supports FEMA in disaster
Support is limited to imagery support—aka, disaster photographs
Recommend keeping bullets brief, not paragraphs. Generally we try to follow the rule. Quite simply, this “Rule” says that each PowerPoint slide should have one main idea, a maximum of six bullet points, and a maximum of six words per bullet point. Obviously that rule is trumped by being able to truly get the thought and point across. Consider who will be briefing and receiving this information and how. If personnel will be reviewing independently, more may be needed on the slide itself, or details provided in the notes. Consider using pictures, charts or images, but be sure that we have the rights to use them before including them, and if data is perishable or dated, mark it accordingly.

4. CAP GIS Support
FEMA has asked CAP to expand this support to include GIS
CAP will continue imaging operations
CAP personnel at Incident Command Post or at State/County Operations Centers FEMA will conduct a host of GIS functions
GIS support will include
Exploitation of CAP and other imagery
Conduct damage assessments from imagery
Support FEMA personnel with studies, estimates, and reporting

5. FEMA Support Execute the FEMA GeoFramework
The GeoFramework is a suite of 21 standard products
Enhance situational awareness for emergency management
FEMA will provide access to training, templates, data, and symbology…allowing CAP to quickly ramp up to a level of proficiency.
