Summary of our cluster accomplishments for the past year
Call for Disasters Lifecycle cluster poster (to describe our current focus, goals, activities) due July 15
Speakers and discussion topics
Session 1 – highlights from the Cascadia Rising exercise in June including lessons learned about trusted data; progress on the GeoCollaborate Testbed including findings from participating with the All Hazards Consortium; discussion on next steps for the testbed, especially as it relates to our goal of defining/identifying trusted data for the disasters lifecycle decision makers.
Session 2 – invited guest speaker Dr Jim Morentz on experience with XchangeCore and SpotOnResponse in FEMA operations in California; discussion to evolve plans for our proposed Fall 2016 ESIP-sponsored workshop on "Data Driven Decision Making for Disasters, A Workshop for Operational Decision Making” (see Google docs).
Finally, I’ve attached the draft agenda for the NASA Near Real Time Portfolio workshop scheduled for Sep 27-29 at NASA Langley in Virginia. Although the NASA conference registration site is closed for anyone attending from NASA contracts or centers, the workshop is open and free for others to attend. If you are going, please let us know. It would be very useful for our cluster to be represented.

Appropriations for the Summer Meeting

Have not yet completed the Cluster Poster.

Sean will look into collaborative poster creation options

Data Driven Decision Making for Disasters workshop

How can this first workshop be a template for future workshops?
Aimed at the power industry.
Collaboratively hosted with Edison Electric
Can we make similar workshops for specific subjects? E.g. wildfire response, earthquake response, etc.
