Dom Elefante and Eric Yadlovski of the New Jersey Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute (MERI) will present a functional overview of ERIS, a customized Emergency Response GIS Tool that integrates critical information from easily-queried, right-to-know databases, developed under a regional initiative to share GIS resources among local governments. ERIS data is displayed using available online mapping services and standalone laptops which have been provided to emergency town officials. It has been deployed on emergency vehicles and on Interactive Mapping Services (IMS) as well as a Google Earth-based application designed to be Web accessible.
