As we begin to take suggestions and comments for a revision of the FEA
Geospatial Profile, scheduled to come out in the fall as Version 2.0, an
evaluation/piloting activity is about to begin. This two-phase effort
will provide feedback on the profile document from new readers and will
also allow for design and deployment of operational capabilities for
common business processes in support of emergency management. This
six-month networking effort will begin on April 3, 2006 and finish in
the fall. (01)
Several pilot project candidates have been announced. We'd like to
extend this opportunity to collaborating organizations at the federal,
state, or local level to sign up for voluntary participation in the
evaluation phases of the Profile. Hopefully this will yield interpretive
and implementation experience in the community that will be of benefit
to emergency management solutions. An activity may take place in any
geographic region and have any number of partner organizations. Example
collaboration activities include: (02)
Emergency management and the environment - City of Charlotte, NC, North
Carolina Dept of Environment and Natural Resources, US Environmental
Protection Agency (03)
Supporting alerting requirements in Recreation.gov - Department of
Interior and partner organizations (04)
Interest has also been expressed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), DHS/FEMA, NASA, and USGS in supporting the Profile
evaluation. Let me know if your agency is interested in partnering. (05)
A kick-off planning teleconference will be held on Monday, April 3, 2006
from 10am to 12n EST. Outcomes of the call will include a roster of
linked activities, concurrence on the workplan, and the execution
framework for the profile evaluation. Please review the attached
proposal and be ready to contribute to the pilot! (06)
