DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
WHAT IS GIS?
GIS is a Geographic Information System.
GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• GIS identified in the iDelta report as a goal for DRA:
“All Local Development Districts (LDDs) in the DRA region will use GIS systems to support the DRA’s regional initiatives in health, transportation, economic and community development, homeland security, disaster pre-event planning and recovery, and other areas. “
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Identify resources, roadblocks (and how to overcome them), planning tools, and goals/outcomes for GIS
• Develop a model and framework for local governments and governmental agencies to use for investigating, developing and deploying GIS on the local level
• Build enthusiasm for GIS among local officials to encourage deployment and usage
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Identify resources, roadblocks (and how to overcome them), planning tools, and goals/outcomes for GIS
• Existing GIS databases for the locality
• Existing data sets for the locality
• Possible GIS participants – and how to build coalitions among those participants
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Resource identification
• Funding mechanisms and sources• Grants• Governmental appropriations• Participant contributions• Data sales
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Resource identification•www.esri.com/grants/about/funding_sources.html
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Resource identification
• Information Technology resources
• Software vendors• Existing IT platforms and resources• Local, regional, statewide
• Personnel • Educational programs
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Roadblocks
• Funding• Inter-agency squabbling• The “Not In My Sandbox” problem• “I paid for it. It’s MINE.”
• Good, ole fashioned bureaucratic inertia• “We’ve always done it this way” • “Bob knows everything”
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Roadblocks
• Lack of data/poor data quality• Revealing historic inadequacies• Fear of sunshine
• IT resources
• Personnel – Training and availability
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Planning Tools
• What do we start with?
• Initial layer sets• Data gathering• Software and hardware• Personnel and training – and do we hire a consultant?
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Planning Tools
• Next steps . . .
• Additional layers• Data gathering challenges• Maintaining momentum• Employee buy-in
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Planning Tools
• Deployment
• Accessability• Inter agency interoperability• Employee access/Public Access
• Updating data• Who, how, and how often
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Goals/Outcomes
• Inter-agency availability• Locally• Regionally• State and beyond• DELTA WIDE !!!
• Cost reductions
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Goals/Outcomes
• Public availability• Web-based service• Metadata access• Database charges• Access charges
• Long-term sustainability
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Develop a model and framework for local governments and governmental agencies to use for investigating, developing and deploying GIS on the local level
• Creation of a model GIS framework
• Build a base data set for deployment throughout the Delta

DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Special thanks to:
•Wes Palmer, Geographic Information Science instructor, Louisiana Tech University
• Kyle Wyatt, Student Intern, Louisiana Tech University
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Build enthusiasm for GIS among local officials to encourage deployment and usage
• Or, what can you do with these fancy pictures?
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Economic Development
•Site Selection•Utility availability•Land use availability (zoning, etc.)
•Workforce Identification•Transportation Resources
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Utility usage and planning
• What are existing routes?
• Expansion planning
• Correcting outages
• Infrastructure maintenance and replacement
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Crime analysis and community policing
• Mapping of crime trends
• Planning of police routes and schedules
• Information for property access
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Disaster and Emergency Preparedness
• Population mapping
• Evacuation planning
• Flood mapping
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Identify resources, roadblocks (and how to overcome them), planning tools, and goals/outcomes for GIS
• Develop a model and framework for local governments and governmental agencies to use for investigating, developing and deploying GIS on the local level
• Build enthusiasm for GIS among local officials to encourage deployment and usage
•Where do we go from here; i.e, how do we implement the recommendations of iDelta?
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
• Build enthusiasm for GIS among local officials to encourage deployment and usage
• Obtain buy-in from local officials and staff
•GIS video demonstration using a variation of the skit you saw today• Web delivered• Jump drive mailed to local officials• Local government conferences
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
•DRA-wide GIS conference
• State GIS offices/staff• Local GIS offices/staff• Local officials who want GIS• Software companies• Grant funders
DELTA SOURCEBUILDING EXCELLENCE WITH GIS
•Goals for DRA-wide GIS conference
• Demonstrate how to start with GIS• Educate about uses for GIS• Provide advanced education for existing GIS users• Build collaborative relationships among state and local officials
