Question 1:

What state or U.S. Territory do you represent? (optional)

Text box entry:

Question 2:

To what capacity are geospatial methods, analyses, and products currently being used to support emergency preparedness, response, and recovery to infectious disease or natural disaster related threats?

Options:

• Significant (Spatial data/applications are integrated into the disaster management cycle including data collection to data management/analysis to health/risk communications.)

• Moderate (Access to and use of spatial data/applications regularly but would benefit from improved capacity and/or infrastructure.)

• Minimal (Spatial data/applications are used when thought of or after the fact; however, use is limited by capacity and infrastructure – licenses, subject matter knowledge, personnel, funding.)

• Not at all

Question 3:

Where do you look when you need GIS-related guidance or support? (e.g., other state/territory level resources, federal resources, proprietary documentation, open-source documentation, etc). Please list. If none, write none.

Text box entry:

CDC estimates the average public reporting burden for this collection of information as approximately 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden statement or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74, Atlanta, GA 30333, ATTN: PRA (0923-0047).

Would you use additional guidance material supporting the utilization of geospatial data and applications during public health emergencies?

Options:

-Yes

-No

Question 5:

If yes, what types of guidance would be most helpful? (Please select all that apply.)

Options:

-Trainings on how to use various geospatial applications

-Instructional guides on specific spatial data visualization and analysis methods

-Information regarding spatial data infrastructure

-Information on mobile data collection and applications

-Templates/guides for cartographic products to use during health and risk communications

-Information on designing policies related to geospatial data, infrastructure, and sharing

-None, I do not think additional GIS guidance would be useful

-Other (please specify)
