places2protect™

Places2protect™ is the first comprehensive, national database on critical facilities and captive populations—sites with gatherings of people to protect or evacuate. Based on the leading commercial database of U.S. institutions, places2protect™ is the continuous, cost-effective and sustainable GIS resource for Homeland Security and emergency management. The places2protect™ dataset helps you answer vital questions such as:

  • What places are at risk?
  • What response is needed when one (or more) is threatened?
  • Where are they?
  • When are they most at risk?

Answers to these questions vary by types of place, and their attributes, vulnerabilities, and protection needs. Places2protect™ uniquely provides information on these critical location features in accurate, GIS-ready form.
