It's Hurricane season, and if you have ArcMap 10 this year you can quickly map US National Grid Data!

First use the Find tool (binoculars icon) and switch the locater to MGRS, then enter a test location and hit find...

...If you have received some data from SERT you can just cut and paste a value here to test it out (USNG=MGRS).

Ok, so that works great for a point, but I've got a whole bunch of data to map.  Use the Search window to search for "geocode" under the tools category.

Choose Geocode from the list, and since we set the find tool to use MGRS the Geocode Addresses has the locater already listed!

Map your fields as appropriate and you are done:

...Now, conversely if you have to provide any data to FEMA/SERT/Etc. using USNG just take your point locations and use the Reverse Geocode, and done!

Have a safe hurricane season,
