SUMMARYEIIP Virtual Library Online Presentation GIS in Emergency Management: Author - Robert Scott, Intergraph Federal Public Safety Moderator - Amy Sebring The EIIP Virtual Library hosted Robert Scott, Intergraph Federal Public Safety, as he presented his paper, "GIS in Emergency Management: Crisis Response into Intelligent Planning". Bob's paper focused on the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in emergency management, and particularly within the setting of a dispatch center. The Virtual Library presentation was illustrated with slides and graphics that were accessible to the audience as Bob delivered his paper. Amy Sebring assisted Bob with the visual part of the session and served as Moderator for the Virtual Library. The audience for the Bob Scott's presentation totaled thirty; the delivery of the paper took approximately forty-five minutes. The remainder of the hour was devoted to a moderated question and answer session. Questions and comments continued in the "Brown Bag" discussion immediately following where the dialogue was one-on-one with Bob and other audience members. Everyone was especially complimentary of Bob's presentation; the pace and tone of delivery were excellent and the visuals added much to the information conveyed. Lessons Learned: We were successful in adhering to the start and closing times of the session. It was most noticeable in this online session that the majority of the audience was in place several minutes prior to the opening of the presentation. Publicity for this session and the remaining Wednesday events in January was quite heavy and far reaching. We believe our promotion efforts directed to the Training Officers in each state are paying off in audience increases. Audience participants were from all over the country with one attendee, Rudy Dovale, from St. Maarten in the Caribbean. Technically, there were several people who experienced more connection problems than usual during the Library event and follow up dialogue. We have not been able to determine a specific reason for the problems. |
