Greetings everyone,
Daniel Rydl, GIS Tech for the Florida Division of Emergency Management 's (FDEM) State Emergency Response Team, (SERT). Blue Sky (hey, nothing is wrong right now stuff) roles pertain to managing our geographic datasets, services, ad hoc mapping and analysis requests across the Division, etc. Gray Sky (oh heck, things are going to go from bad to worse soon) role is to support operations pertaining to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds)
Moving legacy templates over to Pro. Designing and implementing vector tile base maps. Bringing Hazus instructors to FDEM to teach customized Florida specific courses this spring (Hazus is FEMA's disaster modelling package built on ArcGIS architecture), and lots of other cool stuff. (Let me know if you have interest in these classes)
What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?
Oh gosh, Hazus definitely. How it can be used in ramp up to a landfalling storm, implementing specific critical facility and property valuation data into Hazus as opposed to the out of the box datasets for a more complete analysis. Using ArcGIS online to convey the message internally and publicly. If it has a spatial component and is derived from data found in the 4 phases of EM, then yeah...
Look forward to becoming more active in this community. Thanks!
Daniel
