Identifying the Needs and Opportunities of Small and Medium-Sized Communities for Data, Information, and Integrated Tools for Enhanced Decision Support - Part I: Users
Location: Room C108 (The Georgia World Congress Center )
Hosts: (Joint
between the Ninth Symposium on Policy and Socio-Economic Research;
and the 30th Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies
)
Cochairs:
Communities of all sizes across the nation are being forced to think about our changing and increasingly variable weather and climate conditions. This includes not only coastal communities where sea-level rise and increased tropical activity is a concern, but inland communities as well where drought, wildfire, flooding, and winter storms are also of concern. While many of the larger communities have resources available to enable full-time research, planning, and scenario development efforts, smaller and medium-sized communities typically do not. More specifically, data and tools are not always available to small and medium-sized communities due to reduced budgets and funding opportunities. Further complicating the situation is the lack of knowledge that data and tool providers often have in terms of understanding what the data and information needs are of these communities. A better understanding of these needs would likely enable opportunities for more enhanced and integrated decision making tools to be developed for small and medium-sized communities that could help address the changing and variable weather and climate conditions. The first of this two-part session will feature four speakers repressing small and medium-sized communities from across the U.S.

Cochairs:
In order to provide a complete picture of the needs of and options available to small and medium-sized communities, the second of this two-part session will explore solutions which take advantage of scientific inquiry, technological advances, societal implications, and public awareness. In response to presentations in the first session, which focuses on the needs of these communities for environmental information, data, and analysis tools for the purpose of interpreting and developing responses to changing weather and climate conditions, the second session identifies potential integrated decision support tools to support small and medium-sized communities to address these requirements which are available in the academic, public, and private sectors of the hydro-meteorological enterprise.
