All,

Now that Helene is a (bad) memory for Georgia, and we've gathered some lessons learned, I think it's time for another ARES Southeast US Situational Awareness Map familiarization session. In the past six months there have been some small but key changes to map functionality and data layers, and in the past 72 hours I've done some rush updates as FEMA, DHS and NOAA have either updated, added or deleted some of their data sources.

This one hour familiarization session will be held Monday, 14 October at 2000 hours (8:00 pm for you non-military types :-) ). This will be held on-line using Google Meet, and the meeting information is below.

This is not a 'training' session, A full training session for this application takes at least 90 minutes. On the 14th I'll just go over the changes that have been introduced to the map over the past several months, go over some basic functionality, and take any of your questions. I will also record this session so you can view it later.

As a reminder, I'm always available for presentations to ARES groups, ham radio clubs, and even to EMA groups who have an interest in using the map. Just get in touch with me at [email protected] and we'll get something set up.

Also - and this is important - this web map is not a tool just for Georgia! If you are subscribed to this site, but live anywhere in FEMA Region 4, this map is for you, too. Most of the data in this map spans the entire southeast region, and I pull in a lot of data from the individual state-level GIS departments. So you folks in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky - this map works for you!
