Notes
Disaster telecon
Attendance erin, karen, dave jones, holly (stormcenter), maggi glascoe, ken, bob chen. NOTES
Update on Testbed:
- Holly Shore is taking lead at stormcenter to get geocollaborate instances launched.
- Had two recent presentations with Maggi and Ken on how to use geocollaborate.
- New javascript version is mobile friendly.
- Need to solve legends + metadata question in geocollaborate.
- Developing tutorials
- Waiting on new data sets.
Demo Discussion:
- Possible demo for our group during the next telecon.
- Maggi feedback
- Had demo with Holly and the team and displayed data.
- For next telecon do we still want to demo Hazard Mapper?
- Answer: If it's ready, yes.
- Tentatively we are looking at having the next telecon be a demo-focused telecon.
Winter Meeting Discussion:
- There was a recent NASA disasters meeting that David Green put together.
- They are trying to organize NASA centers into more organized response centers with POCs for different societal needs.
Other Notes:
- How do we display uncertainties in data?
- Do we know anyone who has a unique perspective on how to graphically display information for increased decision-maker understanding?
- How can a subject matter expert explain novel data remotely to a decision-maker?
- Can we get someone who knows about this to speak at the winter meeting?
