Note from FSA on Disaster Preparedness

FYI - This note was forwarded from Marilyn Ricker - FSA (8/31/2011):

I was just on a conference call with FSA GIS Specialists from other east coast states affected by Hurricane Irene.  There are some pretty talented GIS Specialist from other areas of the country that shared with us various disaster resources that can be used in GIS for disaster preparedness / analysis.  Information discussed on this call included data collected by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center (wind, hail, etc), LandSat Aerial Imagery, NOAA Precipitation / Hydro Data, and HURRIVAC data, that is available for our use.  While I have not had the opportunity to review any of this information for NH, I just wanted to let you know that it is available and at any time that you or the SEB would like information for this event, or future events, I would be happy to assist.
