Greetings All,

We are continuing our monthly telecoms this coming Thursday, Feb 4 at 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern.  Call information will be sent out by Sean next week. I have a list of topics to get us started and invite you to bring forth ideas for our next series of meetings leading up to the 2016 ESIP Summer Meeting in July. Our wiki page remains: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Disasters

As announced at the Winter Meeting, our co-Chair Emily Law is the new President of the ESIP Federation. As time allows she will be attending our cluster sessions and I’m pleased to announce that Dave Jones/StormCenter has volunteered to serve as co-Chair. Sean Barberie/U Alaska will continue as our ESIP student fellow this year, and I am happy to continue as co-Chair. Our 2015 accomplishments are impressive with the establishment of the Disasters Testbed and the recent award of a follow on expansion of the Testbed by the ESIP P&S. We are on a roll!!

For Thursday’s meeting we are encouraged to revisit and finalize the Disaster cluster work plan google doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdLGmlfU-1EEXQZjDz9snR9vWNgMV71enZxmEeU0MS4/edit#heading=h.1lkb0jjpy3xb

The cluster plan currently states:

Examples of topics that the cluster can address include:

  *   Identify disaster response full-cycle

  *   Map dataset types to disaster types by leveraging existing efforts

  *   Perform data application validation for cross-agency use

  *   Assess and prioritize use cases and user needs

  *   Assess existing capabilities and processes

  *   Assess common architecture patterns to disaster response

  *   Develop webinars or other outreach plans to raise awareness with end-users

We can review and compare our plan with the ESIP strategic roadmap which was approved at the winter meeting:

Several roadmap actions are specifically relevant to the Disasters cluster including ‘authoritative data sources’ for decision making and story-telling (see Disasters cluster in column D).

Let’s review our goals and strategies, including a focus on specifics to address in the next 6 months, and relate our actions to the ESIP strategic roadmap.

Please review these documents (they are short) in preparation for Thursday’s telecon and clarify our testbed plans including Disasters testbed activities and interactions with the ESIP testbed development, and collaborations with disasters data users (including those working with the testbed in both California and Maryland). Please bring your ideas for discussion.

Looking forward to a productive year!
Karen
