This paper presented the status of CARE with emphasis on its newly created GIS capabilities as of January, 2007. Emphasis is placed on the following aspects of the CARE/GIS system:

• The timeliness of the data and the use of temporal analysis to track changes over time;
• The ability to create filters using GIS and use them within the CARE analytical engines;
• The integration of demographic GIS layers for schools, hospitals, bridges, census data; roadway inventory, railroads, etc.;
• The extension of the desktop system to a Web-based system.

Several additional innovations have been made to CARE since early 2007, and those interested are urged to review the CARE pages within this site.
