He has long experience working on national counter-terrorism response, was the Chief Science and Technology Advisor to the Attorney General and is an active member of the City of Walnut Creek's CERT organization. Walnut Creek CERT is divided up into 7 CERT response areas, each with its own Incident Command Staff and deployable survey and SAR ( search and rescue) teams. He will describe the needs of the Walnut Creek CERT organization for GIS support and the public-private partnership consisting of City GIS experts, volunteer GIS professionals and amateur "map makers" that is not only preparing maps for the Walnut Creek CERT but also providing ground truth for the City of Walnut Creek. He will describe some of the unusual requirements for GIS support to a large, diverse volunteer organization.
