10. GIS For Situational Awareness Integrates and manages these disparate, data types – –Static base layers: political boundaries, roads – –On-demand raster imagery – –Real-time data: weather, vehicles, humans with GPS- enabled phones, devices- like electrical transformers. Supports workflow intelligence models – –complex geoprocessing – –realtime global visualization tools – –automated cartography – –data publishing Assimilates vast amounts of data into one common frame of reference providing situational awareness for – –Better command decisions – –Effective resource management, – –Accurate information to the public.
