The state of West Virginia is becoming one of the most comprehensively mapped states in the nation through the initiatives of the West Virginia Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board (SAMB). While the primary use of the new mapping and address data is for E-911 and public safety purposes, it is also possible for the data to be combined with geographic information system (GIS) technology to enhance many other aspects of local government services in West Virginia.
GIS as a technology has been in existence for 30 years and has proven to provide significant benefits to local government in the following areas:
- Economic Development
- Crime Analysis and Community Policing
- Land Records Management
- Emergency Response and Disaster Planning
- Health Service Delivery
- Infrastructure Management
- Homeland Security
Who Should Attend?
The seminar is geared toward a non-technical audience and will focus on the uses and benefits of GIS technology. You should attend if you have management or supervisory responsibilities for
- Land Records and Assessment
- Economic Development
- Elections
- Finance
- Health and Human Services
- Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
- Planning
- Public Safety
- Public Works
