Project Updates/Action Items

MGISAC Web SiteJason Warzinik

Old minutes continue to be imported. Membership list had recently been updated. Comments were made regarding making the formal switch sooner vs. later, instead of continuing with two sites.

Joplin Tornado Response

There were reports of situations where things worked well and others where things work poorly or even horribly. All agreed that we should use this experience to better prepare for future events. There is great need for high level coordination of volunteers in the geospatial arena. Also needed, is in the field tracking of what buildings have been searched with the ability to log this data on the fly into a GIS / Imagery application. There is a need to have better communication about where aerial imagery could be sourced.

Legislative effort to re-draw the district boundaries is in process in both the House and Senate. Public hearings are complete; commissions have been formed to develop possible redistricting plans. The plans are being reviewed and will be finalize in late August.

MSDIS Geoportal Demo
