17. @CrisisMappers - Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. ~Dr. Seuss Question: Why should government provide open data? Answer: It’s the right thing to do. Answer: It’s been paid for with tax- payer dollars. Answer: arrrrrrrh!!!!

19. Why Publish? Economic Dev Mitsubishi doesn’t make a$100M investment without looking at a bunch of maps “Current GIS information provides Arkansas with a strategic advantage in economic development.“ -Senator Shane Broadway

21. Why Publish? Disaster will strike December 16, 1811, 0815 UTC (2:15 a.m.); (M ~7.2 - 8.1) epicenter in northeast AR. December 16, 1811, 1415 UTC (8:15 a.m.); (M ~7.2 - 8.1) epicenter in northeast AR. January 23, 1812, 1500 UTC (9 a.m.); (M ~7.0 - 7.8) epicenter in the Missouri Bootheel. February 7, 1812, 0945 UTC (4:45 a.m.); (M ~7.4 - 8.0) epicenter near New Madrid, MO. Effects Some sections of the Mississippi River appeared to run backward for a short time. Sand blows were common throughout the area, and can still be seen from the air in cultivated fields. The shockwaves propagated efficiently through midwestern bedrock. Residents as far away as Pittsburgh and Norfolk were awakened by intense shaking. Church bells were reported to ring as far as Boston, Massachusetts and York, Ontario (now Toronto) and sidewalks were reported to have been cracked and broken in Washington, D.C. There were also reports of toppled chimneys in Maine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_New_Madrid_earthquake

22. Why Publish? Disaster will strike Eliza Bryan in New Madrid, Territory of Missouri, wrote the following eyewitness account in March, 1812. “On the 16th of December, 1811, about two o'clock, A.M., we were visited by a violent shock of an earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise resembling loud but distant thunder, but more hoarse and vibrating, which was followed in a few minutes by the complete saturation of the atmosphere, with sulphurious vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the affrighted inhabitants running to and fro, not knowing where to go, or what to do - the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species - the cracking of trees falling, and the roaring of the Mississippi - the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing as is supposed, to an irruption in its bed -- formed a scene truly horrible.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_New_Madrid_earthquake

23. Who contributed County filesGood for geocoding Maintained

24. Mission Accomplished

25. Mission Accomplished The work continues More Inputs will result In better data

26. Why Publish? Ubiquitous use We touch .1% of N and that’s generous. Our desire is to have high quality ARGIS data used by everyone that makes decisions. This means we need helpreaching the other .99% of N. Good at pushing out!!!Need Feedback LoopFlagging System Knowing about user changes ineach system would make for better data.

27. Why Publish? Better Data Knowing about user changes ineach system would make for better data. Good at pushing out!!!Need Feedback LoopFlagging System
