Virginia Department of Emergency Management.



Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems are everyday tools used by E911
dispatch centers throughout the Commonwealth.  Over the past few months,
there have been several opportunities for discussion of integrating
real-time incident information between all levels of government.  At the
locality level, 911 dispatch centers already have well established
methods and procedures for capturing information about ongoing incidents
throughout a given locality.  As incidents increase in complexity,
additional resources and coordination needs begin to enter into the
incident.  Local Emergency Managers and Incident Commanders begin to
build an operational picture of the incident, and begin to coordinate
this picture with various other response entities as they are brought
into the incident response.



Since CAD/E911 systems already contain geospatial information
(addresses, coordinates), and since other GIS datasets can support
incident response, there seems to be a rather large interest at many
levels of government in the integration of such systems.



If you or your locality are currently integrating real-time incident
information from your CAD/E911 systems, and displaying data feeds of
that data through an ESRI or OGC mapping service (internal or external
service), could you please contact Brian Crumpler at
Brian.Crumpler@vdem.virginia.gov.  He is very interested in hearing what
people are doing throughout the Commonwealth in this area.



Also, if you or your locality are interested in hearing what others are
doing in this area, please feel free to email Brian as well.
