Emergency Management in County Government - A National Survey (External link) http://www.naco.org/Template.cfm?Section=Publications&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=21623 Wes Clarke, Carl Vinson Institute of Government, University of Georgia 2006-08-0101-Aug-2006 Implementation, White Paper/Technical Docs
Abstract: In February 2006, the National Association of Counties (NACo) commissioned the National Center for the Study of Counties (NCSC)to conduct a survey to assess key aspects of county emergency management, including organizational structure, budgets and funding, personnel and training, use of technology, and ways counties collaborate with other government entities and nongovernmental organizations. NCSC prepared a survey instrument with input from NACo and from faculty studying aspects of emergency management at the University of Georgia, Indian University, and the University of North Texas. Requests with instructions for completing the survey went out in February to each of the 3,066 U.S. counties. The requests were sent primarily to county clerks, using a list provided by NACo. Forty-nine requests were returned as undeliverable. Instructions requested that the clerk send the request, which was signed by NACo Executive Director Larry Naake, to the appropriate emergency management professional. NCSC received completed responses from 564 counties in March and April 2006, representing all Census divisions and 46 of the 50 states. The counties range in size from 67 residents to more than 9.5 million, thus providing researchers with a wide range of variability from which to generalize American counties.

Guidelines for Providing Appropriate Access to Geospatial Data (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/policyandplanning/fgdc-guidelines Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) 2005-06-0101-Jun-2005 Implementation, Standards
Abstract: The following is an excerpt from the document: The guidelines provide standard procedures to: 1. Identify sensitive information content of geospatial data that pose a risk to security. 2. Review decisions about sensitive information content during reassessments of safeguards on geospatial data. Additionally, the guidelines provide a method for balancing security risks and the benefits of geospatial data dissemination. If safeguarding is justified, the guidelines help organizations select appropriate risk-based safeguards that provide access to geospatial data and still protect sensitive information content. The guidelines do not grant any new authority and are to be carried out within existing authorities available to organizations. They apply to geospatial data irrespective of the means of data access or delivery method, or the format.
