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:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nOgmPrzrUQcnaBXI_nHKUT8Pdms-r8evJwgQlPomMjs/edit#gid=47922970

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
