Friday Tornado - David Speight True North Technologies

hit Murfreesboro and Rutherford County on April 10, 2009 was the third major
storm event to occur in this county over the past few years where GIS was the
primary tool used for damage assessment and data dissemination. This
presentation will review the data and tools that were assembled during the days
following the storm and examine what can still be improved in the process to
make the next response more effective.

Civil War Battlefield Mapping - Joshua Boutwell
& Max Schneider - Alexander Archaeological Consultants, Inc.
Alexander
Archaeological Consultants, Inc. conducted a geographic information system (GIS)
mapping project in which the primary objective was to overlay a series of six
historic Civil War battle maps produced by Edward E. Betts for the Chickamauga
and Chattanooga National Military Park in 1896 and 1901 onto modern
topographical maps and aerial photographs. The resulting information was
integrated with the existing Hamilton County GIS database in order to provide
citizens with the ability to examine the potential for intact features
associated with important Civil War battles on specific parcels. The area
investigated includes the approximately 26,000-acre Chattanooga Battlefield in
Hamilton County, Tennessee."

Leverage Your GIS Investment
with Document Management Mike Shaw ITC Imaging
Local, state and federal government agencies need to be more efficient to better
serve citizens. Compliance with regulations and policies require agencies to
keep records for several years, consuming human resources and increasing costs.
docSTAR helps manage document retention timelines and provides instant access to
any document; including invoices, contracts, personnel records, correspondence,
compliance forms, spreadsheets, manuals, and citizen records.
