GIS for Critical Infrastructure Protection highlights the GIS-based technologies that can be used to support critical infrastructure protection and emergency management. The book bridges the gap between theory and practice using real-world applications, real-world case studies, and the authors' real-world experience. Geared toward infrastructure ow Introduction. Basics of Geographic Information Systems. Government's Application of GIS to CIP. Industry's Application of GIS to CIP. Local Government Application of GIS to CIP. Case Study: The 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. Case Study: The GECCo Project in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Emergency Response and Management: Lessons Learned on the Gulf Coast.
