Ron Langhelm worked with geographic information systems (GIS) and urban search and rescue at ground zero in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks would prove to have a lasting impact both personally and professionally. Today he continues his work, developing and improving the Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform to help federal and state search and rescue teams work together better. (DHS Video by Raymond J.
