GIS Data
ArcSDE and MS SQL Server provide NCDA&CS with an enterprise GIS database. The spatial datasets are a robust,
standardized, and shared set of geographic layers (i.e. transportation, hydro, cadestral, imagery). The
datasets are collected from state, county and municipal governments and are used in partnership with multiple
state agencies. The data is shared both through thin and thick clients within the Department and with other
agencies. The GIS/SDE component also includes map viewers and special GIS reports.

GIS Data in SDE
Emergency Programs has GIS Vector data in SDE, as well as
WMS Map Services using Google Earth Enterprise.
Vector data includes point/line/polygon GIS Data for Agriculture, Hydrology, Environmental, Transportation, Emergency Management,
Critical infrastructure, and Reference data.
GIS Standard Symbology Layers and GIS Map Templates
Emergency Programs created standard symbology layers for most of the vector GIS dataset. This helps the department
make quick and consistent maps during an emergency. Please email
Daniel

GIS Data Sharing Agreement
Emergency Programs has a GIS Data Sharing agreement to mutually share GIS data with North Carolina Emergency Management
and the Department of Health and Human Services. The vector data in SDE is replicated annually.
