about
About This Conference
GIS provides a common analytical framework in which public health
authorities can understand problems and formulate a response, improving
incident management and health planning.
Most health and human service problems facing the world today exist in a
geographic context and your analysis should consider that. Understanding
issues ranging from medical epidemiology to healthcare access requires a
comprehensive understanding of their geography.
This offering of the GIS in Homeland Security Conference (one in a series of
GIS events) will focus on how spatial technology is becoming a vital tool
for scientists and public health officials investigating the cause and
spread of deadly diseases around the world.
