The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) grant to support foundational research and development. This grant is for creating computer-based systems, including tools and components, that empower local authorities to effectively map and visualize social networks within their communities. The goal is to seamlessly integrate these social network maps with existing Geographical Information System (GIS) displays. These GIS displays typically encompass physical terrain, transportation networks, and critical infrastructures, crucial for operational centers like Emergency Operations Centers. The initiative aims to enhance community resilience through improved understanding and management of social dynamics alongside physical infrastructure.
