Dave: Putting together ESIP Testbed All Hazards Consortium – working a lot with the Utility industry on how they use earth science data. October joint sponsored event between Edison Electric Institute, ESIP, and All Hazards Consortium. How data can be used to drive their decisions. May ask for feedback on workshop setup etc. Should come together quickly. They don’t understand the data that is available for decision making.

Do you know about Data Driven Decisions for Energy? Richard Eckman good to reach out. Talk more with LuAnn & Dan.

She will be shipping stuff. Email ESIP to find out where she should send that stuff now. Staff@esipfed.org OR Preston can accept it. He will send his address.

Workshop Planning

Drone Order:

There were only 6 available at one store, but Shelley found 10 more at another store.
Action: LuAnn to follow up with Erin and make sure that they are ordered and on their way.
Shelley is trying to get the sensors and get it shipped to Preston and hopefully have some easy directions.
To know about the sensors: relatively rudimentary and should be very simple. Records it to an SD card. Put it in a reader and there should be a comma separated file. Shelley hasn’t had time to try it out.
Sunday night in the hotel or on Monday during the day to meet.
