In 2018 the Federal Geographic Data Committee co-sponsored the Concept Development Study(CDS) through OGC to advance the use of Geospatial Information for Disaster Risk Reduction.  As a follow-up to this activity, the FGDC sponsored Disaster pilots in 2019 to close gaps and address challenges that resulted from the 2018 CDS.  On September 18, 2019 the pilot demonstrations will be presented at the US Geological Survey in Reston, VA.  The pilots will cover a variety of disaster topics including Public Health, Wildfire, Floods, Landslides, Hurricanes and a variety of other topics related to disasters.  Information for the event is provided below.

***Please note registration is required and space is limited. If you have any questions please contact fgdc@fgdc.gov.
