Acquisition and Manipulation Datasets usable “as is” Datasets usable “as is” – Oregon Geospatial Clearinghouse Datasets requiring minor manipulation Datasets requiring minor manipulation – OSFM HSIS Data…Geocoding – Booming Strategies in Legacy Formats! Datasets requiring major modification or integration with other sources Datasets requiring major modification or integration with other sources – Airports – Fire Stations

Data Creation River Miles River Miles Tribal Notification Areas Tribal Notification Areas (Areas Defined by Tribes) LEPCs LEPCs

Integrity Complications Complications – 20 + Sources – Varying ages – Varying standards between agencies

Out-of-date sources You go to incidents with the data you have…not the data you wish you had. ~ D. Rumsfeld (Paraphrased)
