Emergency Operation Center Application
Montgomery County, MD
Population: 757,027
Program Year: 2003
Abstract:
The Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Technology Services - Geographic Information Systems (DTS-GIS) team, in cooperation with the Department of Fire & Rescue Service (DFRS), developed an ArcView GIS based Emergency Operations Center (EOC) application. The application provides the County Emergency Management (EM) team assembled at the EOC during emergencies with useful geographical and tabular data. It improves EM staff efficiency for displaying/printing Montgomery County (MC) geographic and associated attribute data. The EOC application functionality includes geographical data display, attribute data for over 40 MC databases, including Washington Gas Lines, WSSC water lines/hydrants, MC road networks, and Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) property data listings. This enables the EM staff to only call up the application in the event of an EOC emergency activation or emergency exercise and access the information. The MC geographic data presented in the EOC application reflects information downloaded daily, weekly, or quarterly by DTS-GIS.
