Special Achievement in GIS Award
Tri-County UASI and the Nebraska State Patrol received a Special Achievement in GIS Award at ESRI's 2012 conference. This award was given to both organizations for their ability to work together and share resources in the GIS environment. When Tri-County and the Nebraska Information Analysis Center (NIAC) both purchased separate ESRI GIS systems, building hours were given to both organization to be used towards a web map. Tri-County approached NIAC through ESRI to combine hours to get twice as many resources for a combined web map. Tri-County built the base map with many widgets and currently is housed with NIAC. With some assistance from the State Patrol IT team and ESRI, a few additions will be shared back to the map at Tri-County. Tri-County has been very helpful in working with NIAC and the Nebraska State Patrol to understand the benefits of all GIS data.
