This research investigated the applications of GIS in emergency management operations specifically response to certain types of natural disasters and accidents both in general and in the USAF. The research objective was to determine the benefits the USAF can obtain from the use of GIS for emergency management operations and to examine some of the USAF efforts underway. The research methodology consisted of a literature review of academic, commercial, and USAF documents. The research determined the effective execution of emergency plans and response requires a means to communicate situational awareness which can be effectively imparted by shared access and the use of geospatial data such as imagery, maps, and locator/routing tools. Further evaluation of USAF Full Spectrum Threat Response plans and checklists to determine if all functional areas are developing the proper geospatial data within the GeoBase framework to effectively support emergency management operations is recommended. Additionally, an analysis of two on-going GIS program applications within the USAF is recommended to determine applicability for USAF-wide implementation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
