The course combines lectures with hands-on exercises that present practical examples of how to use GIS for disaster mitigation and response. Course topics will include an introduction to GIS concepts; tools for symbolizing data; tools for querying and analyzing data; data management; manipulating tabular data; understanding coordinate systems; basic editing; spatial data adjustment; geocoding; and a survey of some of the advanced options provided by ArcGIS and the Spatial Analyst extension through the use of geodatabases and raster data.

R0492 Emergency Resource Deployment Planning: Standards of Cover This course is designed for fire/EMS service leaders and managers, local officials, and planning personnel who are faced with performance outcome management decisions that relate to providing fire protection and emergency medical services for their community. Rapid change in the demand for fire and emergency services and the lack of commensurate funding and resources impacts service delivery and risk to both providers and citizens. Students collect data, analyze, compare and contrast findings to identifying base level performance standards and changes influenced by internal and external impacts. Metrics are used to demonstrate changes in: current and future service levels; expe4nditures and resource allocations; changing impacting risk impacts on citizens and the community. Until recently, being able to quantify and justify increases in fire-related services has been difficult because of a lack of available data and accepted analytic methods. This course will demonstrate how national fire incident data and analysis tools combined with the IAFC/ICMA "Standards of Coverage" and ISO methodology can document the distribution and concentration of fixed and mobile resources and develop an acceptable model to meet community performance and outcome standards and to guide future growth discussions. This 6-day course is "hands-on" and requires participating agencies to provide local fire and emergency service resource data and an inventory of values at risk (critical infrastructure/target hazard information, etc.). Specific requirements will be provided in the precourse information. Fall 2009 Adjunct Instructor, University of North Carolina Charlotte, NC GEOG 4120.
