(ENT221) Transforming Government through Technology | AWS re:Invent 2014Amazon Web Services
For governments, the cloud offers not only cost savings and agility, but the opportunity to develop breakthroughs in research, accelerate economic development and innovation, and enable the "always-up, always-on" infrastructure necessary to support critical missions. National and local governments are coping with the dual challenges of constrained budgets and human resources along with strict information security regimes. Many agencies and organizations are attracted to web services rather than on premises hardware, both for the cost benefits and for agility they offer.
This session provides an overview of the use cases ranging from offloading simple websites to running parallel test environments to migrating major enterprise production applications to the cloud-all of them balancing security and compliance with economy and access. Examples from FINRA, UCAS, the government of Singapore, and the US Department of Health and Human Services highlight the significant transformative impact of cloud architectures including Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon CloudFront and Amazon DynamoDB. Learn the practical strategies being deployed by governments worldwide to break down innovation barriers and tackle mission-critical operations with the cloud.

The document discusses the challenges public health services face with information systems. It notes that public health works at the population level to address health determinants and prevent illness through partnerships. However, information systems are often designed for personal health records and clinical management rather than public health's broader evidence base and longer timeframes. Standardization can override flexibility if not carefully managed. The document proposes several principles for effective public health information systems, including having business needs drive systems, enabling information exchange through standards, and keeping line-level data close to where it is used.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. The study found that lockdowns led to significant short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as human activity declined.

Regional collaboration between counties is also discussed as important for climate resilience planning.
This document outlines four possible scenarios for Donald Trump's presidency:
1. Trump succeeds in fully enacting his agenda, winning re-election. However, this is deemed unlikely due to his unpredictable behavior and infighting.
2. Trump serves out his term but faces checks from Congress, courts and public, blocking many of his initiatives. This gridlock results in little legislation.
3. Trump faces possible impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment due to emoluments violations or inability to serve.
4. Unlikely scenarios include Trump resigning, exiling himself, or committing suicide if defeated or cornered. "Wildcards" like a terrorist attack, war, economic crash, or military

Next Generation 911, an upgraded and improved emergency call system for the public, and FirstNet, a broadband network for first responders, are natural partners for improving public safety, security and protection. Both face challenges. This presentation looks at those challenges and the solutions being pursued by their operators and advocates.
Next Generation 911 and FirstNet are dedicated to improving public safety and emergency response. NG911 will enable increased data sharing from 911 calls that may be routed directly to first responders. FirstNet will allow greater collaboration among first responders through more data sharing between emergency call centers and dispatch systems with less commercial wireless network congestion. Together they aim to provide greater security, interoperability, and modern communications capabilities for emergency responders nationwide.
FirstNet and NG911_ Pushing in the Same Direction - GovTechWorksDavid Silverberg
The document discusses two major steps taken in 2016 to improve emergency communications: 1) FirstNet began soliciting proposals for a nationwide broadband network for first responders, and 2) three first responder groups set a 2020 deadline for Next Generation 911 adoption across the US. These systems will improve how first responders interact and share data. While they have complementary goals, each has developed separately due to different origins. The 2020 NG911 deadline and FirstNet's contracting process aim to fully implement improved emergency communication systems.

Getting Next Generation 911 Ready for Prime TimeDavid Silverberg
Next Generation 911 systems aim to upgrade fragmented 911 networks through digital IP infrastructure. However, NG911 priorities and funding vary between jurisdictions. To fully implement NG911 will require upgraded infrastructure, robust funding, legislative support, administrative efficiency across agencies, and set standards. A national collaborative effort is needed to make NG911 a priority and improve public safety outcomes.
