Hopeworks ‘N Camden has been deservedly featured at many GIS conferences. The program aims to keep Camden youth in school and on track with technology training, including GIS work. This week the program finished its first print work - a free map of the city. Funded by student-sold and sometimes student-created ads, the maps remaining from the original run of 8000 will be available for free. Another use for this newly acquired data? Perhaps it can be contributed to OpenStreetMap?

This seems like such a simple use of GIS. I wonder how many towns make this investment?
GIS analyst Angela Moore suggested that through a direct mailing the town notify each landowner within the newly mapped 100-year floodplain of the changes to the flood zones. The new flood maps have been issued with an effective date sometime in the next year. The board voted to send out the letters and to establish dates and times to hold education sessions concerning the advantages and disadvantages associated with the town’s status with the NFIP, which the town is currently not participating in.
