Project:
Empowering Local Governments to Support and Maintain the Missouri Structures Layer for Numerous Potential Applications in The National Map and Emergency Response
Missouri is building on the past year's successful Federal Geographic Data Committee Cooperative Agreement Program - Category IV National Map effort. The state applied for and received 2005 funding to provide additional training and support for local governments to collect and maintain their Structures data layers. These layers would be required for the development of a wide spectrum of local decision support applications and are amongst the layers considered essential to The National Map (TNM) and other potential state and federal applications.
Regional trainings will take place throughout the state with the classes consisting of a three day offering of Introduction to ArcGIS II and a fourth day of training in collecting, storing and applying the "Structures" data layer. The University of Missouri's (UMC's) Missouri Spatial Data Information Service (MSDIS) has again been joined in this project by the Missouri Association of Councils of Government (MACOG) and the US Geological Survey (USGS) - additional support for the project will come from the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI).
The amount of the award totaled $105,981.43 after the contributions of the University of Missouri match and PRIME fund allocations are included. The project will run through August, 2006 with much of the training occurring in the spring.
Questions should be directed to the project manager.
