In response to a request for assistance from an Emergency Manager in Northern Minnesota, SharedGeo worked collaboratively with local and national focus groups to develop the first ELM in 2011. Since that time, SharedGeo has worked with a wide variety of communities and organizations to help them understand how to develop an ELM project. In addition, virtually, all ELM products shown on this site were developed by SharedGeo as the result of input and guidance from the Emergency Services Sector and trail user groups. SharedGeo has also made many of the publications and technologies it developed to support ELM implementation available for free (e.g. usngapp.org).
