Morning session

Emergency response preparedness

In brief-- we are unprepared to help anyone in emergency situations.

GIS agencies need to work together at all levels.

GIS agencies need to exchange GIS data.

GIS agencies need to work more to make emergency services aware of their capabilities.

What I could do: Become an amateur radio operator and get involved with local search and rescue. Short term goal: get Tech class license.
