Information Council

 

I am pleased to share last week at the National States Geographic
Information Council 2017 Annual Conference last week, Florida GIS was
recognized with two awards -


Champion: Florida AST Enterprise GIS Workgroup


When the Agency for State Technology strategic planning group surveyed state
agencies to find "golden threads" for opportunities for improvements in
state government, statewide GIS coordination was identified as just such an
opportunity. After being assigned the task, Strategic Planning Coordinators
Kayren McIntyre and Eric Steinkuehler threw themselves into the effort of
convening and sustaining an enterprise GIS workgroup. After two years under
their leadership and championship, the workgroup made significant progress
creating a statewide  <http://geodata.myflorida.com/> GIS open data portal,
the state's first  <http://gis.myflorida.com/> GIS resources and information
page, and presented a business case and justification, which has lead to the
creation of a geographic information office within the Agency for State
Technology.


Catalyst: Florida SERT GIS


State agency, regional agency, and county GIS managers, analysts, and
technicians came together as the SERT GIS to support the Florida State
Emergency Response Team during Hurricane Irma. Under the leadership of
Florida Division of Emergency Management GIS Administrator Jason Ray, the
team participated on daily GIS coordination calls, coordinating
post-disaster remote sensing coordination requirements, sharing data and
resources, and improved outcomes during Hurricane Irma preparedness,
response, and recovery.
