Guidebook on Integrating GIS in Emergency Management at Airports

This report is designed to help airports identify needs and assess current capabilities with respect to using geographical information systems (GIS) in emergency management (EM). The report discusses GIS and emergency management and provides a roadmap for airports to move from their current state of GIS implementation (even if they do not yet have any form of GIS) to the point of integrating into emergency management and coordinating with mutual aid partners. Airports that follow the guidebook and complete the worksheets will have developed their own GIS-EM implementation plan. The guidebook contains a CD-ROM (CRP-CD-139) with case studies and key lessons learned from airports that have integrated GIS into EM. The guidance concludes with a checklist of how to maintain and keep EM plans relevant and current.
