Title: Provide Value, Time and Money to Your Organization with Survey123
Description: Palm Beach County, Florida completed the annual Homeless Point-In-Time Count in 2022, 2023 and 2024 using Esri’s Survey123. This annual initiative had over 50 County Staff and over 350 Volunteers coordinating county-wide. Previously, the Count was done partially with paper interview forms and two different software applications. The Homeless Point-In-Time Count Solution delivered a set of capabilities that enable us to capture surveys during the count, visualize the extent of homelessness, filter key metrics captured in the survey and export the information in a report that was delivered to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Palm Beach County was awarded a 2023 NACo Achievement Award in Information Technology for this initiative.

Title: UF GeoPlan Center, Florida Geographic Data Library Updates
Description: The Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) is a collection of Geospatial Data, and serves as a mechanism for distributing spatial (GIS) data throughout the state of Florida. The FGDL is warehoused and maintained at the University of Florida’s GeoPlan Center, a GIS Research and Teaching Facility, with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. The GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (“data sources”) who are data stewards, originators, producers, or publishers.
FGDL data categories are very diverse, and include land cover, hydrography, soils, environmental quality, conservation, transportation, and boundaries. In 1998, when the project was launched, the website consisted of 80 layers. The site currently contains over 600 layers and continues to expand into new disciplines and practices. FGDL has grown into an integral academic library for the College of Design, Construction, and Planning in the University of Florida and is a valuable resource for a variety of professions in the state of Florida.

Title: Increasing Community Resiliency to Flooding and Sea Level Rise
Description: The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is engaged in many efforts to plan for and implement infrastructure and other mitigation measures to increase community resiliency to flooding and sea level rise (SLR). Included are the Flood Protection Level of Service Program (FPLOS), the Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan, and development of water and climate resilience metrics to track and document shifts and trends with the potential to adversely impact flood protection, water supply and Everglades Restoration. Geospatial tools and technologies are an important part of these programs and evaluations. This webinar will provide background on SFWMD Resiliency and FPLOS efforts and the geospatial tools being proposed, developed and used in support of these efforts.
