- By Hilton Collins. Government Technology, February 8, 2013.

GIS mapping technology plays a crucial role in helping public-sector employees identify hard-hit areas. Russ Johnson, Esri's director of global public safety, answered Government Technology's questions about how GIS technology affects disaster relief in crises like Sandy, and how it may evolve in the future..."

- Mapping Tool for Sandy Relief Efforts Created Using Amazon Web Services
- By Hilton Collins. Government Technology, December 17, 2012. "When Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast in October, Len Bundra didn't back down.

Bundra integrated his department's existing Esri-based GIS mapping system with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) satellite shots to create a map of local damaged areas with layers from multiple organizations. Utility authorities use this operational intelligence to deploy resources efficiently to hard-hit locations. The map is free and public, so law enforcement and emergency management personnel also use it for their relief efforts..."

- Geospatial Information: OMB and Agencies Need to Make Coordination a Priority to Reduce Duplication - GAO-13-94
- Government Accountability Office, November 26, 2012. "While the President and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have established policies and procedures for coordinating investments in geospatial data, governmentwide committees and federal departments and agencies have not effectively implemented them. The committee that was established to promote the coordination of geospatial data nationwide--the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)--has developed and endorsed key standards-- including a metadata standard that includes descriptive information about a particular set of geospatial data--and established a clearinghouse of metadata; however, the clearinghouse is not being used by agencies to identify planned geospatial investments to promote coordination and reduce duplication. The FGDC has not yet planned or implemented an approach to manage geospatial data as related groups of investments to allow agencies to more effectively plan geospatial data collection efforts and minimize duplicative investments; and its strategic plan is missing key elements, such as performance measures for many of its defined objectives. Further, none of the three federal departments in GAO's review have fully implemented important activities for coordinating geospatial data, such as preparing and implementing a strategy for advancing geospatial activities within their respective departments..."
