Re: MI Hello from "FLoyd" State
This is, by all means, germane to a GIS list. Disaster planning and recovery are among the most common and most important uses of GIS. Mapinfo specifically is used very extensively by FEMA in flood analysis and planning. I personally will be using a Mapinfo application to assess the impact of Floyd on over a billion dollars of property owned by my employer. And, of course, I share Sarah's concern for the human impact of such a disaster as well. "Richard E. Hoskins" wrote: > Having said that, this might be a GIS issue.
