About SIGIS At SCDHEC

The Shared and Integrated Geographic Information System (SIGIS) Committee was established in March 1996 by the Information Technology section of Environmental Quality Control (EQC) Administration, SCDHEC, and implemented by SIGIS Developer group, comprised of volunteer GIS Staff located in major program areas across the agency's administrative boundaries. The program mission is to provide managers and policy makers with decision support systems and applications that enable them to better analyze spatial information related to environmental and public health issues.

Purpose of SIGIS at SCDHEC

The main objective is to develop and maintain the agency-wide, enterprise GIS infrastructure including hardware, software, network, and database to facilitate a better use of limited resources and reduce redundant efforts across the agency. The enterprise SIGIS program provides information about GIS at SCDHEC and provides customers the ability to download GIS layers maintained and developed by SCDHEC.
