URISA is a leading professional organization for GIS, and NENA is the National Emergency Number Association. These organizations sponsored a joint conference August 16-19 to focus on GIS solutions to addressing issues.
As it turns out, the addressing anomalies existing in Iberia Parish are fairly ordinary in comparison to those in other areas of the U.S. and Canada. Hearing about more complex issues helped to put our problems into perspective. Solutions to these and other addressing issues were described in case study sessions.
In addition, technical database issues were covered, including the new Federal Geographic Database Committee standard on addressing.

Parish Planning & Zoning Project
Our 2008 aerial photography and the 2009 zoning map have been combined in an ArcGIS Explorer project. ArcGIS Explorer is a free viewer that allows the user to add content from many sources. We are currently in the process of installing the software and data files on the P&Z computers.
The Planning & Zoning staff then can zoom in to determine the exact relationship between a parcel of land and its zoning, while viewing any structures on the property as of 2008.
This application is local to P&Z at the moment. However, it will be available more widely once the GIS server is in place.
