The NAPSG Foundation recently announced the availability of its Standard Operating Guidance for Public Safety GIS, developed by a team of GIS specialists and professionals. The document is provided as a basic template to support national GIS standards development for emergency response in Multi-Agency Coordination Centers.  The initial version of this document is a dynamic publication (updated as more usage feedback is gathered).

If you're an agency GIS leader looking for a basis on which to form and manage a local public safety GIS regardless of the founding organization (fire, police, etc.), download a copy for review and possible adoption or adaptation and provide NAPSG Foundation feed back and suggestions for the next version.
