Geospatial Technology Competency Model
In collaboration with the US Department of Labor, the National Geospatial Technology Center is updating the Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM) and is seeking input. Your input is hugely valuable in helping to define which professional and technical competencies are crucial to a successful GIS employee. For more information, click here.
US Drought Information
The Climate Prediction Center at NOAA has a site for current and future drought estimations. Check out their Drought Monitor interactive map and Monthly Drought Outlook and Seasonal Drought Outlook maps. There are other tools too.
US Census Interactive Demographic Map
The US Census Bureau has a new data tool, called My Community Explorer, that allows users to view the demographics of their individual communities. The interactive dashboard offers profiles of all US counties based on the data collected from the census survey. Beginning with a state, users can filter by demographic data including race and ethnic makeup, income and economic statistics, and industry and business profiles. Check it out!
Public Information During Emergency Response and Recovery
The California Chapter of the Urban Regional Information Systems Association (CalURISA) is pleased to host the ESRI presented webinar: Public Information During Emergency Response and Recovery. This webinar will demonstrate the new Public Information Template for ArcGIS Experience Builder, designed to quickly deploy vital location information to the public during emergencies. The template streamlines the creation of a 3-in-1 web map application for use on devices with small, medium, and large screens. Chad Miller, GIS Analyst with the County of Monterey will host the session, with key presenters being Stephanie Baker and Jason Latoski, Solutions Engineer for ESRI’s Local Government Team, along with guest presentations from Kevin Lacefield of Sonoma County and Matt Lamborn of Napa County.

EV Charging Stations in the US
Check out this interactive map and article about the total EV charging stations in the US. If we will be forced to buy electric vehicles soon, they better up their charging stations! While California has 13,658 charging stations, Alaska only has 40. Check it out!
As a side note, according the NACS, there are more than 145,000 fueling stations across the United States. And as you know, they can fuel multiple vehicles at one time vs. just 1 EV charging station per vehicle.
