More Information

Chester County Department of Emergency Services

The Chester County Department of Emergency Services (DOES) had a variety of GIS datasets that had been acquired at one point in time, but had not been maintained and so were out of date. geographIT was contracted to provide two GIS technicians on site to perform data clean-up, data updates, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) of the data. The production environment consisted of ArcGIS Desktop and ArcSDE 9.1. Examples of the types of services delivered included:

Updated a variety of GIS datasets, such as critical care, day care, nursing, and educational facilities that require assistance during evacuation.
Using high resolution digital ortho-photography, digitized building footprints for all buildings on university campuses. Added building addresses and building type as building attributes.
Used geodatabase and ArcMap tools to perform quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) checks of GIS datasets that were created, updated, or cleaned up.
