What do Starbucks, Wal-Mart, the U.S. Military, the Mississippi Department of Transportation, and NVision Solutions have in common? They all hire Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialists to solve spatial problems. Starbucks and Wal-Mart need GIS analysts to identify where new stores should be built. The U.S. military employs GIS analysts to map out troop and equipment movements. The Mississippi Department of Transportation uses GIS to assess the safety of the roads that we use every day. NVision Solutions helps these organizations as well as many others use GIS technology in new and innovative ways to address modern challenges.

For residents in South Louisiana, enduring flash floods and dodging hurricanes are as common as gumbo and Saints football, albeit nowhere nearly as enjoying. Developed low lying areas are subject to the casualties of water inundation, such as destroyed homes and automobiles, millions of dollars in property damage, and far too often, the loss of life. No group is more familiar with the effects of water inundation for this area than the St. Tammany Parish Emergency Management Operations Center (EMOC).
