What other government organizations use GIS to display health-related information?
Many US federal government organizations, as well as state and local governments, use GIS to display health-related information. Some US federal sites include: • Cancer.gov (http://gis.cancer.gov/) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.cancer.gov/) is a central source of information about GIS and related resources for use by the public, cancer researchers, and the GIS Special Interest Group (http://gis.cancer.gov/about/group.html). • EnviroMapper StoreFront (http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/em/) from the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/enviro/emef/) helps you view federal, state, and local information about environmental conditions and features in an area of your choice. • Window To My Environment (WME) (http://www.epa.gov/enviro/wme/) is a powerful web-based tool from the EPA (http://maps.epa.gov/) that provides a wide range of federal, state, and local information about environmental conditions and features in an area of your choice. • GATHER, Geographic Analysis Tool for Health
