Maps
in the News: Midwest Flooding
ESRI,
the world’s leading producer of GIS software, and its ESRI Disaster Response
Program provides software, data, imagery, project services, and technical
support to organizations dealing with recent flooding in the Midwest. Aerial photography from the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of these affected sites is online.
Supporting
organizations dealing with the flooding disaster can request assistance from
ESRI. Users can view continuously
updated flooding information from the National Weather Service on the Public Information Map. The map details the levels of flooding
from near flood stage to major flooding, and the site includes photographs and
YouTube videos. Users can type in a
specific address to see the conditions on a map or via satellite imagery.
The
Ball State University Libraries GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) on the
second floor of Bracken Library provides access to the latest GIS software from
ESRI and assistance from the GIS Specialist.
Computers throughout Bracken Library and the Architecture Library also
offer access to GIS software.
