The Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP <http://esipfed.org/>) present
the 2020 webinar series:

Putting Data to Work: Building Public-Private Partnerships to Increase
Resilience & Enhance the Socioeconomic Value of Data


*Rapid Scaling of Sensitive Information Sharing in Support of National
Water Prediction & Hurricane Research (Thursday 11/12 at 12 pm ET/9 am PT)*Dave
Jones, CEO of StormCenter Communications, will present on new efforts they
are working on with NOAA for operational implementation of GeoCollaborate,
which is StormCenter’s SBIR Phase III, innovative cross-platform real-time
data sharing and collaboration environment. The NWS’ National Water Center
(NWC) in Tuscaloosa, AL and NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division (HRD) are
putting GeoCollaborate to work to improve data and information sharing
across agencies, states and scientists to create a unified approach to
situational awareness and decision making. This is critical, as so far in
2020 (as of 10/7), there have been 16 weather/climate disaster events with
losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States. These events
included 1 drought event, 11 severe storm events, 3 tropical cyclone
events, and 1 wildfire event. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths
of 188 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted.
The 1980–2019 annual average is 6.6 events (CPI-adjusted); the annual
average for the most recent 5 years (2015–2019) is 13.8 events
(CPI-adjusted). Globally we are experiencing more floods and flash floods
remain one of the top killers. As climate changes and CO2 continues to
rise, the oceans heat up, hurricanes seem to be intensifying more rapidly,
especially near the coastline prior to landfall.
