Mapping Tech in Public Safety Chris Rogers & Steve Pollackov

Steve and Chris interview Daniel Stoelb from the Oregon Department of Emergency Management.  Daniel shared his incites on uses for GIS in emergency management and shares some contrast between his pre and post pandemic experiences.

Technology changes rapidly. These rapid advancements also include Geographic Information Systems (GIS). While certain GIS technologies weren't available to us, Chris and Steve discuss with guest Peter Hanna, GIS efforts that we could have done differently. We reflect back on years past on items that would have improved GIS within our agencies. 

Some of these efforts still could be applied to working or managing today's GIS organizations. Having a Strategic Plan or having a champion helping the advancement of technology initiatives are some of our discussions. 

In this episode, the three of us also play a little Geography quiz. Hint: Steve lost.

The Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division is the primary federal laboratory conducting research, development, testing, and evaluation for public safety communications technologies. Each year the PSCR conducts a conference. Just like all other conferences, this particular conference was conducted virtually. 

Chris and Steve discuss the highlights and our thoughts on some of the various technology presented. The PSCR 2020 can still be viewed online on their virtual conference center.
