TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1990Description: 15 pReport number: CONF-9008180-1; DE91006021/XABSubject: This paper describes the capabilities of a geographic information system (GIS), the Integrated Emergency Management Information System (EMIS), for planning a siren-based public warning system. The Outdoor Sound Propagation Model (OSPM) in IEMIS models warning sirens in a given area and reports the results graphically as sound pressure level contours. As implemented in IEMIS, OSPM includes graphic functions for the preparation and display of input data, display of the model's results, and management of data files. These graphic functions enable public safety personnel to plan more effectively for warning of the public.
