Esri collects a variety of demonstrations of the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), on the level of global development, civilian technology, and US governmental functioning. The highly illustrated introduction explains GIS and the resilience of infrastructure, public safety, economy, food supply, health care response, and global cooperation that it can protect. The US Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, The Interior and Veterans Affairs present GIS-aided maps and the data and conclusions drawn from them. A concluding section also shows the use of these tools by the Environmental Protection Agency, US General Services Administration, US Postal Service Office of Inspector General, Smithsonian Institution, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and the Spokane Tribe.
