The New Plot to Hijack GIS and Mapping
A bill recently introduced in the U.S. Senate could effectively exclude everyone but licensed architects, engineers, and surveyors from federal government contracts for GIS and mapping services of all kinds — not just those services traditionally provided by surveyors.
The Geospatial Data Act (GDA) of 2017 (S.1253) would set up a system of exclusionary procurement that would prevent most companies and organizations in the dynamic and rapidly growing GIS and mapping sector from receiving federal contracts for a very wide range of activities, including GPS field data collection, GIS, internet mapping, geospatial analysis, location based services, remote sensing, academic research involving maps, and digital or manual map making or cartography of almost any type.

Texas Emergency GIS Response Team Training in Austin
David W. Allen, GISP is having another Texas Emergency GIS Response Team (EGRT) training class on March 17th at the Freese & Nichols offices in Austin, TX. It is an in-person class from 8:30 to 4:00 provided to you for free - bring a laptop and David can provide a 1 year ArcGIS license if you need. After that, the time commitment is minimal until the response team is activated. You may then be asked to volunteer for a 6 hour shift in a local or regional EOC and help with the mapping duties. As you know, having fast accurate mapping available during a disaster is extremely valuable, but most agencies can’t support a GIS position specifically for emergency response … that’s where EGRT comes in. The response team trains themselves on the basics, then steps in when needed.
URISA Texas Virtual Speaker Series - March 2017
The Role of GIS in Emergency Response and How We’re Meeting That in Texas
Presentation Outline:
The presentation will address the role of GIS in Emergency Response within the state of Texas. The Texas Emergency GIS Response Team “EGRT” is a rapidly deployable GIS resource built to support disaster response and recovery efforts. The concept for EGRT was developed in 2006 for the North East Fire Department Association (NEFDA). This association covers 14 cities in Northeast Tarrant county. The presentation will cover how EGRT has continued to grow and now provides statewide emergency assistance across six regional areas of Texas. The speaker will answer questions regarding required training and volunteer opportunities so the call-up list can continue to grow.
