Projects at Rural GIS Sites

Enhancing Rural Security Demonstration Project

RGIS Regional Office: South Georgia, South Georgia

Project Dates: 2006/2007

Synopsis:

RGIS-SG is prepared to help communities to build upon critical facilities data built into the PDMPs and identify threats to rural areas, such as the railed transport of hazardous materials through small, remote communities. This project will examine the proximity of vulnerable rural assets to appropriate and capable responder headquarters, as well as potentially affected populations, evacuation shelters, and other factors that all contribute to a well-rounded adequate response to a hazardous materials disaster in rural communities. The result of this enhanced asset and response inventory will yield valuable information for rural communities when drafting LEOPs.
