About the CIP-ER White Paper Series

The Geospatial Dimensions of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Response (CIP-ER) white paper series focuses on the interdependencies of the vertical markets where GITA members and constituents use geospatial technology, including electric utilities, gas utilities, public agencies, telecommunications companies, water utilities, transportation agencies, and pipeline companies. The series will include at least seven white papers published into the fall of 2008 and spring of 2009.

The first of the series, Infrastructure Interdependencies, is now available here, along with an article by GITA’s Executive Director, Bob Samborski, which introduces the series. The article also describes how the white paper series is the next installment in GITA’s efforts to be a top resource for geospatial solutions to infrastructure.
