State and local governments can make more informed decisions and achieve greater efficiency in their operations with the help of geographic information systems (GIS). The Vinson Institute's Office of Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) is a leader in GIS innovation in Georgia and nationwide.

Contact: Mike Perkins, mperk@uga.edu; 706.542.3436

Map-based websites bring the power of GIS technology to different audiences in an easy-to-use format. These systems are highly interactive decision-support tools that allow users to focus on the information rather than the technology behind it.

ITOS Web-based GIS projects include

  • Facility GIS for the Georgia Department of Corrections
  • Athens-Clarke County Parcel Mapper
  • Pre-Disaster Mitigation Critical Facilities Inventory for the Georgia Emergency Management Agency
  • Animal Health Emergency Mapping system for the Hawaii Department of Agriculture
  • Tobacco Blue Mold Outbreak Monitor for the UGA Cooperative Extension Service
