Data Description

Veteran Affairs Service (point)

This dataset contains points which represent the locations of all Veterans Affairs Services in the State of Arkansas. The compilation of this data is a collaborative effort between the Arkansas Geographic Information Office and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) to build a comprehensive geographic database of Veterans Affairs Services as a component of the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). The Veterans Affairs Services form a sub-component of the existing CDC Bioterrorism plan that involves the visualization application for disease detection and surveillance. A visual aid of Veterans Affairs Service locations overlaid on current digital aerial photography, associated road names, and landmarks, were produced to representatives of ADH to confirm the accuracy of the location.
