Local Government
Boston, MA (July 8, 2003). Syncline®, Inc., today announced that

The MapCiti Homeland Security Viewer is ideal for informing and
preparing the public. For example, in the event of a small pox outbreak, the
Viewer helps citizens find the location of nearby vaccination centers.
Should a major catastrophe occur, it can be used to highlight emergency
shelters or show the location of hospitals and secondary overflow
medical facilities. Residents can produce hard copies of threat response
information that is relevant to them and keep it nearby, to be accessed in
the event of an emergency.

The Homeland Security Viewer also can be used for internal planning
purposes. City officials have access to a secure interactive map of the
city's critical infrastructure to help them plan for different scenarios.
This information can be shared easily and securely across departments.
The Viewer's abutment notification tool generates a list of parcels
that are located within a specified radius of a potential terrorist
target. Safety officials can produce detailed contact lists of citizens
living nearby.

During and after an incident, the Homeland Security Viewer acts as a
vital tool for securely sharing information with State and Federal
agencies. Key knowledge about the city's critical infrastructure, hospitals,
or local schools, with student population, required by agencies such as
FEMA, the FBI, or perhaps the Governor's office can be made available
with secure, encrypted access. The Viewer also can be used to inform the
public during and after an emergency, such as highlighting danger areas
in the event of a bio-terrorism attack, or showing evacuation routes,
emergency shelters, etc.

“Since 9/11, fundamental changes have taken place in our country. Best
practices for information sharing, planning, and management in times of
crisis are now critical. However, city and county managers struggle to
support unfunded mandates and new security responsibilities in the face
of declining revenues and reduced state subsidies.” said Marc Tremblay,
President and CEO of Syncline. “Our Homeland Security Viewer was
designed with these constraints in mind, providing an affordable yet
effective solution,” added Dr. Tremblay.
