In case you don't read (or surf) the news...the state of Florida is under a
major hurricane warning from Tuesday through late Wednesday. Just wanted
to let fellow "listers" know that me and my MapInfo (and some GIS too) will
be riding out the storm in Orlando's Emergency Operation Center. We are
running PC's and laptops stand alone (and networked until...???). The
Public Works/Safety Departments will "feed" the incident info to us and we
will plot as we go to begin documentation of damage as well as on the stop
problems with flooding etc.. This is a great test for all of us who have
been preparing GIS data for many years. We can only hope that we are
ready, but time alone will tell.
Wish us luck, we may need it. I'll make a report (or you can all watch the
news) after Floyd blows on through to the other side.
Watch our Georgia and South Carolina...he's coming.
