Creating America’s clearing house

The Puerto Rico RIL worked with the NASA Disaster Program to transfer all their databases, satellite imagery, and information available to the RIL. Part of the agreement was to provide specialized training which began with a three-day event and included a panel from the Aero-Space industry who addressed the application and usage in their cluster. Future work will consist of the development of algorithmic data cubes created by NASA scientists to allow for an easy query of the databases and the linking of imagery with data for first responders. Currently, the access to the servers from NASA and the PRSTRT are linked, and the entrance is open to the public. The next training is scheduled on Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems and will happen before the coming hurricane season.
