  1. State AgencyGIS Coordination Lisa Morrison DATCP GIS Coordinator State Agency Geographic Information Coordination (SAGIC) Team Chair

  2. Maps Matter Working Together for Wisconsin

  3. Geography • Information about earth’s surface and people, places and things on it • Framework for organizing data “WHERE” matters!

  4. GIS • Geographic Information System • Tools to create, visualize and analyze data from a geographic perspective • Systems to integrate data across program/business areas • Mapsto support actions and decisions

  5. Geographic Perspective Dairy Farms A picture can be worth a thousand rows! Wisconsin DATCP

  6. Integrate Data events zoning transportation utilities ownership environment REAL WORLD

  7. Maps Matter

  8. Google Maps Matter We all use maps to figure out where “it” is and how to get there.

  9. Maps Matter Many 911 systems use GIS to identify the closest responder and the quickest route in emergency situations.

  10. Maps Matter Statewide digital air photos help us visualize features on the ground more effectively.

  11. 2005 Deer Population density per square mile of deer range Maps Matter Understanding the location and density of things supports better management decisions. Wisconsin DNR

  12. Maps Matter GIS helps us map critical features and their proximity to other features and events. Critical Facilities in the 100-year Floodplain Sheboygan County

  13. Maps Matter Maps help inform us what’s happening in our area. Wisconsin DOT

  14. 1992 2001 Maps Matter See what has happened over time… Land cover change Hudson, WI

  15. Ask “What if …”

  16. What if… …state agencies could easily share GIS resources and coordinate activities to support their mutual interests and customers? …state agencies had a common data “view” that each could use to conduct its business?

  17. Do you get driving directions on-line? Does your car have GPS? Expectations • Public expects and deserves efficient and effective state government • Number of citizens, government agencies, businesses, and organizations using web maps, GIS, GPS, and other geospatial technology will continue to increase

  18. Working Together for Wisconsin

  19. Why Coordinate? • State agencies have unique missions, areas of expertise, and programmatic responsibilities • State agencies must also… • Use state resources sensibly • Serve citizens and customers effectively • Work with partners efficiently • Make decisions strategically

  20. Why Coordinate GIS? • State agencies have similar needs and issues associated with GIS • Data & Data Sharing • Applications • Technology • Staff & Training • Legal • Procedures, Standards & Best Practices

  21. Coordination is wise in everyday situations.

  22. Coordination is critical in emergency situations!

  23. Coordination - Just a Dream?

  24. SAGIC • State Agency Geographic Information Coordination Team • Advise and provide a forum for those interested in the GIS needs and issues of state agencies • Geographic Information Officer (GIO) • WI Geographic Information Coordination Council (WIGICC) • State agency program and IT decision makers • Other

  25. SAGIC Goals • Raise awareness about state agency GIS issues and activities • Send a unified message about state agency GIS needs • Identify and promote strategic interagency priorities and initiatives • Facilitate collaboration within and among state agencies

  26. June 2008 Floods Example • State agency GIS staff asked to work shifts in Emergency Operation Center • SAGIC coordinated announcements and scheduling for WEM • 21 volunteers worked over 240 hours • DATCP, DHS, DNR, DOJ, LTSB, UW • Variety of map products

  27. Other SAGIC Activities • GIS Day • GIS training • Work with and advise the GIO • Shared GIS Data Repository • Shared GIS Application Development • GIS internships • Website… http://sagic.wi.gov/

  28. Consider… • “Where” matters • Maps matter • The use of web maps, GIS, GPS, and other geospatial technologies is increasing, along with expectations • Through SAGIC, state agencies are working together to communicate and coordinate their GIS activities

  29. Questions? Thanks for participating in GIS Day!
