Hi Angie,
Who is UCGIS? University of California GIS? University of
Cincinatti? University of Connecticut? Could you maybe remind folks
that they need to spell out those acronyms so dear to our librarians'
hearts?
Thanks! - Cynthia

>GIS and Unexpected Events - Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorist
>attacks, along with other disasters, have wreaked havoc around the
>world. For the last 15 years, publicly funded GIS research has created a
>sophisticated set of analytical theory and tools that facilitate a
>community's ability to plan for or respond to these disruptive incidents.
>
>UCGIS' congressional program at its Winter 2006 meeting (February 9-10) in
>Washington D.C. will feature a select panel of experts that describe how
>their GIS research helps mitigate and support recovery efforts during
>conditions that threaten public health, safety and livability. Targeted
>audience for the presentation may include members of Congress (and/or their
>staff), representatives from executive agencies, and other organizations
>involved in critical GIS research in these areas.
>
>The UCGIS calls on members to participate in the panel, and submit a one
>page summary of key findings drawn from existing projects, or motivation
>for and anticipated results from proposed projects, that demonstrate how
>GIS research and its applications are essential in this aspect of public
>security. Submissions, and any questions, should be sent to John A. Shuler,
>University of Illinois at Chicago (<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask])
>for full consideration by Nov. 15, 2005.
