Regional Technology Work Group Agenda – August 27, 2020 – 1:00 pm

Posted By: lach August 20, 2020

Hello!

Please join us virtually on Thursday for our monthly Technology Work Group agenda. Our meeting will focus on a Vendor presentation from Umanity, a software tool that matches needs and resources for streamlines disaster response operations. We will also have a demonstration of ArcGIS online from the GIS work gorup, including an overview of Survey123 and how it can be used for damage assessment. For those who are unable to attend, notes will be sent out as normal.

Please look below the agenda for call-in and screen-share instructions. 

No formal RSVP is required, but if you are forwarding this invitation to someone else in your organization, please email their information to ian.feldman@houstontx.gov by the Wednesday before the meeting so they can be added to future email distributions.

Thanks!
Lach Mullen and Ian Feldman
Technology Work Group Co-Chairs
