As a buzz word, cloud computing is a big one these days. Unlike many buzz words, cloud computing is no fad. Organizations are beginning to embrace this technology quickly and they are already seeing the ROI of those efforts. But what does cloud computing mean to GIS? In this webinar we will discuss how the cloud can be used in all aspects of a GIS system, from the GIS technician to the GIS administrator. During this discussion we will answer the following three questions about cloud computing and GIS.

ACS, 2010 redistricting data – what to use and when? The ACS (American Community Survey) just released 5-year estimates that provide us with detailed demographics down to the block group level. The 2010 redistricting data provides population by race and ethnicity and is used (almost solely) for drawing new legislative and congressional district boundaries. Carol Rogers, Governor’s Census Liaison and State Data Center Lead Partner at the IBRC (Indiana University) will reveal all to us about the statistical data and the mapping files that will be so critical to their use.

GIS and NIMS: Emergency Solutions for Communities
Thursday, August 25th, 2:00-3:00pm EDT
WEBINAR
FREE
Each day communities respond to numerous local emergencies. Some incidents, however, require collaboration between personnel from multiple jurisdictions, several levels of government, different disciplines, NGOs, and the private sector. Using GIS and information from the National Incident Management System, or NIMS, provides the foundation needed to ensure that we can work together when our communities and the nation need us the most. NIMS integrates best practices into a comprehensive, standardized framework that is flexible enough to be applicable across the full spectrum of potential incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity.

Unless you do GIS purely for the enjoyment of working with spatial data, you likely have constituents or stakeholders for whom you build GIS products. In the past, GIS analyst toiled over digitizers and scanners to build GIS databases. Now we are breaking down the barriers of data entry so our stakeholders and constituents have direct access to input mechanisms for the GIS. This direct access means faster and easier responses to that input as well as greater transparency for the entire system. During this webinar we will discuss how to use ArcGIS to engage your constituents and use their input to make a better GIS system. Focus wil be on on the following questions regarding constituent engagement in GIS.
