* Delineate all-hazards emergency management planning, response and assessment considerations.
* Create a network for professional exchange and access to technical expertise.
* Encourage interactions and collaborative initiatives among those conducting Emergency Support.
* Promote the standardization of methods to increase the access and the value of data among many users.

Objectives
* Provide geospatial support in the event additional GIS resources are required to support emergency related missions across Indiana.
* Identify geospatial personnel, technologies, and products that are appropriate for the emergency event.
* Define processes and recommended data sources and technologies to support response and recovery phases of an emergency event.
