NGA Supports Oil Spill Remediation Efforts

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency personnel continue to provide on-site support of oil spill remediation efforts. This support includes continued posting of commercial imagery products to the NGA Earth public Web site at www.nga-earth.org and release of "HSIP Gold" to state and local government planners and first responders.

The Homeland Security Infrastructure Program, created in February 2002, provides the Homeland Security community with a common operational picture of integrated views of national infrastructure and critical asset information. The “gold” database includes vector, imagery and elevation data that helps decision makers and operational planners develop a common frame of reference for critical infrastructure vulnerability analysis and crisis response.

Some personnel deployed with the agency's Domestic Mobile Integrated Geospatial-Intelligence System--or DMIGS--a self-contained vehicle custom built on a fire truck chassis that allows NGA analysts to drive to a location and provide on-the-spot geospatial intelligence analysis and products.
