The Information Services Branch handles Guam EPA's environmental information needs, including geographic information systems (GIS) and environmental education.

The Information Services Branch was created in early 2004 to guide and manage the Agency's information technology, public information, community involvement, and environmental education programs. The branch is responsible for developing and managing the Agency's capacity to collect, store, and analyze environmental data; to share data within the Agency, with the public, and with federal and local partners; to provide timely information to the public and news media about environmental issues on Guam; and to develop and implement environmental education, outreach, and awareness programs.

Positions in the newly-formed branch will be filled over the coming months. The branch is headed by a Chief Information Officer (the Special Assistant to the Administrator is serving as Interim Chief Information Officer).

Current news releases and public notices are regularly posted on the home page and are available by clicking on Public Notices on the left side of every page. This Web site also contains a News Release Archive containing many of the releases produced by the Agency from 1997 to 2001.
