Abstract CEMA shows point locations of all Maine County and some Maine Municipal Emergency Management Agency business offices, mapped on a 1:24,000 base. These are not Control Center locations except where the business office and Control Center are the same. Data sources included the Maine Emergency Management Agency and some County Emergency Management Agencies. The dataset is attributed with the proper name of the office and address information.
Purpose Maine Emergency Management Agency provided development support for CEMA to enhance mapping and analysis in GIS applications.

Process Description Large scale maps of each town were sent to the county Emergency Management Agencies with base features, e911 roads, road names and locations of EMA offices and other points of interest. EMA staff and/or municipal officials edited these maps with respect to location of and information about EMA offices and returned the edited maps to MEGIS. MEGIS staff made the necessary updates to the Arc/Info coverage.

Entity and Attribute Overview CEMA is coded for point locations of all Maine County and some Maine Municipal Emergency Management Agency business offices. The coverage is attributed with the name and with address information.
Entity and Attribute Detail Citation The ArcView shapefile and ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID and SHAPE_lengt. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.

Format Name ESRI Shapefile
Format Version Number ARC Version 9.x
Format Specification ArcView Shapefile Format
Format Information Content MEGIS has made all vector layers, in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog, available in ESRI's ArcView shapefile format. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcExplorer. Shapefiles are a compatible data type for many other types of GIS software. Three files are fundamental to each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles.
