The Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM); together with a
consortium of state, local, federal, academic, and private partners, has
begun a strategic planning process to foster statewide coordination of
geographic information systems (GIS) activities in Florida, and is seeking
the input of the GIS community over the next several months.
?This is a ?casting call? for expertise and input,? said DEM Director
Craig Fugate. ?GIS technology is a dynamic resource that impacts and
benefits all Floridians, and this is an excellent opportunity for the user
community to help shape a plan for the future.?
Several opportunities will be made available for GIS stakeholder
involvement in the development of the strategic plan. A survey designed to
collect information on organizational needs and experiences with
geospatial program coordination can be completed by visiting the project
web site at www.floridadisaster.org/gis/capgrant and following the link
for the survey. The survey will be available until December 7, 2007.
?We?re actively reaching out to our colleagues across the state to give us
input on this vital project,? said Richard Butgereit, DEM GIS
Administrator, and project director. ?We want to craft a strategic plan
that clearly defines the criteria, characteristics, and activities
required for sustainable GIS coordination in Florida.?
Regional workshops will also be held throughout the state In December to
provide additional opportunities to influence the strategic plan. Agendas
for these workshops as well as directions will be available on the project
web site: www.floridadisaster.org/gis/capgrant.
The workshops are scheduled as follows:
North Florida - December 4, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
