  *   If you or your GIS staff that would be willing to support FDEM through mutual aid, if support is requested to assist in the State EOC, please identify those individuals ahead of Hurricane Season and provide to Kim Jackson (FloridaGIO at FLoridaDEP.gov<mailto:FloridaGIO at FLoridaDEP.gov>) for rostering.  Kim will contact those staff to document availability and emergency contact information that will be kept secure.

Thank you all.
