Safe Communities is a new initiative that aims to rapidly empower government agencies with shared situational awareness through geospatial technology. It builds on decades of successful use of GIS technology for managing information. Multiple organizations with overlapping missions can use the GIS platform as a system of engagement to connect many systems of record, improving and integrating strategic and tactical efforts across the national security spectrum. Defense, intelligence, emergency management, fire, law enforcement, health, transportation, and utility workflows will all use GIS in their daily operations as part of an overall interagency, multi-jurisdiction information strategy to more effectively provide safety. Read the executive summary to learn how to build a safer community.

This survey, conducted in September 2013 with 322 senior-level GIS focused participants from defence and government organisations worldwide, was designed to help benchmark the current ‘state of the industry’, looking at what their current requirements and concerns are and where they see future trends heading. We hope these results will bring new insight to the industry as to precisely what the key decision makers are focusing on and how they see their budgets shifting.
