The last two weeks have been busy with workshops. The Louisiana Assessor's Assocation sponsored a GIS workshop May 26 in Baton Rouge. The presentations were very specific to the assessor function, and the integration of GIS, oblique photography, and valuation in the final presentation was very interesting.
The Hurricane Season Geospatial Data Mining Workshop was held June 1. Presenters from NOAA Weather Center, GOHSEP, USGS EROS data center, NOAA Office of Coast Survey, USGS, FEMA, Dept. of Homeland Security, and USDA NRCS showed how to access a variety of data sources to use in pre-storm planning, as well as post-storm mitigation and recovery. Many of the resources they described are available to the public, with some of them restricted to approved personnel. One link of interest is the NOAA fact sheet on hurricanes and the oil spill.
Work on the proposed budget is continuing. I will be talking to an ESRI Solutions Engineer tomorrow morning, to get some final technical questions answered. We will also be consulting our outsourced IT specialists on server installation and integration.
