HSIP Gold

• State provides existing data. This data does not
  have to be geospatial, a list will suffice. For
  any given layer, it is highly likely that some
  agency within your state has an authoritative
  list for that layer.
• State sends letter (fax, email or conf. call can
  also work) to relevant officials (e.g. fire
  chiefs) letting them know about program and
  asking them to cooperate. Letter should give
  state level poc for officials to call if they
  have questions about the legitimacy of the
  program.
• TGS improves data. Most improvements are done by
  telephoning local officials to verify the name,
  address, phone number, and geospatial location of
  their facilities. Geospatial location is
  determined by asking the local official to
  describe their location relative to landmarks
  visible in ortho imagery.
• TGS incorporates improved state data into
  "License Free HSIP" and makes it available to the
  states.
• TGS incorporates improved state data into HSIP
  and delivers to NGA.
• State considers sharing the improved data with
  the USGS.
