Google Earth PRO

Emergency planning and first responders can quickly familiarize themselves with an area, including remote, mountainous locations and share that information seamlessly from their desktop, laptop or mobile device.

With a (1) year license for Google Earth Pro ($400 value) included with every NNECC license, tribal first responders, emergency management planners and tribal officials can distribute mapping access to more people, providing fast and fluid, interactive earth views streamed over secure networks or the Internet. By fusing imagery, terrain, and GIS data, Google Earth lets the user focus on their task at hand, not their software system. Superior ease of use allows virtually anyone to view, grab, pan, and zoom through earth imagery and GIS data in minutes. Plus a rich suite of tools lets users visually inspect and analyze geographic features. Google Earth is the only company to aggregate a national database of contiguous US imagery.

First Responders

When lightning-quick decisions are required, high performance systems alone are not enough - computing tools must be easy to use and provide full context. Google Earth's compelling display of complex geospatial data offers powerful yet visual analytic capability in a format that is fast, fluid, and intuitive. No other product offers the rapid situational awareness of Google Earth.

Google Earth breaks the chains of traditional "click and wait" map access. Users can fly through massive datasets with the speed of a video game, even when the data is resident on a large network accessed by hundreds or thousands of other users. With Google Earth's integration tools, you can leverage and extend your existing data and systems, providing more access to more data by more people - turning information into understanding.

Google Earth technology offers critical capabilities to tribal first responders through:

• Enhanced Situational Awareness
  No tool provides better location context, and by definition, situational awareness.



• Easy Collaboration
  With a single mouse click, images and perspectives can be e-mailed, printed, and shared.



• Increased Data Value
  By leveraging and extending your existing systems to more users, Google Earth helps you extract more value from your current data assets.

First Responder applications include:

• Mission planning, training, and simulation


• Aerial imagery distribution to geographically dispersed operations


• Visualization of tracked assets and personnel in the field

Homeland Security

Risk assessment is not an option, it's a must. Yet fewer challenges are greater than sorting through the mountains of disparate government and commercial sources for the right information to complete the assessment task. Google Earth solutions cut through the clutter of geospatial databases, allowing analysts and operatives to get the job done effectively and in record time.

Google Earth lets you distribute access to more people, providing fast and fluid, interactive earth views streamed over secure networks or the Internet. By fusing imagery, terrain, and GIS data, Google Earth lets the user focus on their task at hand, not their software system. Superior ease of use allows virtually anyone to view, grab, pan, and zoom through earth imagery and GIS data in minutes. Plus a rich suite of tools lets users visually inspect and analyze geographic features.

As the only company to aggregate a national database of contiguous US imagery, geographic features, roads, and business listings, Google Earth provides not only enterprise software but also complete solutions with integrated data.

Google Earth enables Homeland Security teams to:

• Collaborate
  Sharing perspectives is fast and natural, encouraging teamwork in all respects.



• Focus
  Superior ease of use means that attention is paid to the task at hand, not the software system.



• Comprehend
  By placing information into context, Google Earth converts data into understanding.

Homeland Security applications include:

• Critical infrastructure vulnerability assessment and protection


• First responder site familiarization and planning


• Pattern visualization of surveillance data

Government

Google Earth is the "ROI savior" for state and local governments across the country. By enabling government staff to do their jobs faster, and make better decisions, Google Earth is helping government agencies meet their goals on time and under budget.

Like many key members of government organizations, you have probably heard this complaint, "If only every department could access our GIS data more easily, we could get our jobs done much faster." Or perhaps you've heard, "We have so much data, we don't know what to distribute to our users, and our users don't know what to ask for." The Google Earth solution is simple—let all users access all meaningful data. Create a comprehensive view of the earth, and let the user fly where they want, when they want, from their own desktop.

Google Earth solutions for tribal government provide:

• Simplicity
  No GIS Experience Needed: Superior ease of use allows virtually anyone to view, grab, pan, and zoom through earth imagery and GIS data in minutes.



• Efficiency
  Front-line employees in all departments can have the information they need to do their jobs faster and make better decisions.



• Accessibility
  With support for massive databases and important GIS data formats, Google Earth makes your data assets accessible to all members of your tribe.

• Emergency planning and first responders can quickly familiarize themselves with an area, including remote, mountainous locations



• Zoning and land use management and planning can see a proposed development with real world context



• Economic development, Chambers of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureaus can use Google Earth' solutions as marketing tools
