The document provides an overview of Hampshire County, West Virginia's GIS projects including an assessor website, addressing data, 911 call data, and an automatic vehicle locator system for emergency responders. It summarizes Hampshire County's location, population, and the GIS department's work digitizing tax maps, property data, and developing online tools for property owners, assessors, and emergency responders. Challenges include addressing data gaps and training responders on new technology.

7. What we did with our Broadband
Technical Assistance Grants
• Worked both internally and with
contractors to upgrade our online
Assessor Web Services
• Worked both internally and with
contractors to expand on a
multi-county Emergency
Response Automated Vehicle
Locating System
11. Regional Emergency Responders
Automatic Vehicle Locater (AVL)
Create a more efficient way for
responders to locate emergencies
Decreasing address confusion
allows for quicker response time for
out of county mutual aid
companies
Updated CAD data when PC is
connected to the web or via air
card
12. Works much like text paging
Call data is exported from an off line
InterAct server to an online server in
Sequel and passed via web to
appropriate responders
Data is refreshed as CAD Narratives
are updated
