Business Need
Current information

management
Geospatial relational understanding
Driven by consumed GIS services
Configurable for various situations
Customizable for various audiences

Services pushed out by agency partners are
consumed by viewer
Service ‘owners’ maintain data
HSEM/SEOC may also create and publish
services – later phase
Approach
Fast-track ‘skunkworks’ initially
Phased approach
