Quote of the Week

“I guess it would mean the difference between listening to a story on the radio and seeing it on television.”

Emergency Operations Center director Richard Smith on the old way of tracking storm related issues as a list of addresses on a whiteboard vs to seeing them, geocoded on a GIS created map. The center typically serves Leon County and Tallahassee but was put to work recently when a tornado hit Capitola, FL earlier this month. The system was joint effort of the city, county and contributions of ESRI.
