Presented by: Alan Leidner, NYSGIS

“Here We Go Again”
This presentation describes yet another disaster cleanup where GIS took center stage.
This presentation will discuss how using GIS/GPS Technology allowed the Town of Huntington to manage the clean-up and data management for Superstorm Sandy. The Town expects to have successful submissions to FEMA that will recover reimbursable expenses exceeding $30 million. In the process of data collection over 250GB of data was collected. This includes digital photographs and scanned paperwork etc. Innovative ideas were used and will be explained.
Post event I was talking to George Davis and he introduced me to the folks at Latitude Geographics. They figured out how to create a configurable software platform, Geocortex, that manages ArcGIS workflow and creates multiplatform applications.
Presented by: Michael Naughton, Supervisor – Town of Huntington Highway Department
11:30 – 12:30
Geocortex Essentials Supporting Disaster Response and Recovery
The Highway Department at Town of Huntington, like many other east coast agencies, faced considerable challenges in responding to and recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
Based on Michael’s experience, this informative session will highlight the important role of GIS in supporting disaster response and recovery for all involved, whether they are directing the disaster response or documenting the recovery effort to support FEMA reimbursement.
This informative presentation will describe a more efficient way of quickly deploying cross-platform web mapping applications, and will provide a look at a GIS web-mapping implementation highlighting data and learning’s from Michael’s Sandy response and recovery efforts. This application provides desktop and mobile web mapping and workflows across technology platforms, including desktop computer, tablet and mobile phones, regardless of their operating systems.
A QR code is available here for you to preview the Sandy Geocortex response application and prepare your questions for an interactive session.
