<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning OGIC Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) has finalized a new Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Strategy designed to strengthen how we use data, mapping, and technology to support disaster preparedness, response, recovery,
and mitigation across Oregon. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GIS plays a critical role in how OEM supports communities before, during, and after emergencies. From hazard mapping and situational awareness to supporting decision-makers and improving public information, GIS helps turn complex data into
actionable insight. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This strategy will help OEM:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, GIS is one of the many tools that helps OEM deliver on our commitment to service, collaboration, communications, integrity, and leadership.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The strategy identifies nine priority areas that will guide GIS development and investment:<o:p></o:p></p>
