Test-Bed status and demo

Holly will show both JPL and UAH instances of the test-bed.
jpl.geocollaborate.com
Live demo showing Nepal earthquake data
Very actionable tool for data visualization and response.
Create collaborative drawings on the fly.
Real-time updated data alerts in your browser.
UAH.geocollaborate.com
participants are broken up into Leaders and Followers. The Leader directs the data display and the conversation.
Share data layers. Followers can click on data points for information.
Still testing new data formats.
Interested in user feedback on data types that need to be supported.
Feature idea: draw polygon and request a population count. (possibly a good capability to add to the testbed, potentially as a pilot).
Can do transparency if showing multiple layers.
Demo during winter esip meeting!
on AWS
Bob will send info about IOS app.

Winter ESIP Meeting

Karen will submit a session for the Disaster Cluster to demo the testbed.
Community update on testbed.
Opportunity: All Hazards Consortium and hurricane Sandy, works with power companies and restoring power after disasters. Possible testbed proposal.
Invite All Hazards Consortium to our session at the winter meeting.

ESIP Trusted Datasets

Need to get more of a dialog going on the next steps of establishing an ESIP Trusted qualifier.
Can we see what FEMA currently uses to determine whether they trust a dataset?
Hsip database -- homeland security information partnership. Data source for useful disaster data and critical infrastructure.
Contact Dave for collaboration on proposal
