General Information

Summary:
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a mapping application that combines layers of data through structured queries that can be used to integrate and analyze information from various systems/sources. GIS is a valuable tool that can support PNG initiatives of regionalization, transportation planning, and incident management. This webinar will provide several examples of GIS products that can be used by organizations to help improve decision making and drive priorities.
