REMINDER: Plenty of space to join us Tues June 28 for the GIS Data

statewide GIS coordination committee is again sponsoring a GIS Data
Discovery Workshop at the State Emergency Operation Center (2555 Shumard
Oak Blvd, Tallahassee, FL 32399 http://bit.ly/fleoc).
 
This data discovery workshop is intended for GIS professionals and
Emergency Managers to learn about updated data, map services, and
portals, with an eye towards hurricane preparedness, response, and
recovery.
