This is an urgent request. If you are qualified for any of these
two
positions, email me as soon as you can (also attach your
resume).
In response to hurricane Katrina's disaster, GISCorps has been
asked to
provide 20 volunteers to Mississippi Emergency Operation Center
(EOC) in Jackson, Mississippi. They need two groups of ten volunteers:
Group 1: Must have at least 5 years of experience and well
versed in using ArcGIS 9.0 in an SDE environment, comfortable in making
maps and conducting quick analysis. Experience in disaster management is
a plus.
Group 2: Must have at least 5 years of experience and well
versed in using ArcGIS 9.0 and GPS software and equipment. **Must bring
their own laptop loaded with 9.0 and also must bring a GPS unit
compatible with ArcGIS**.
This group will be working with search and rescue teams and K-9
units
mainly collecting data and navigating.
The following provides some general information provided by EOC
office:
Both groups must be able to fly out within 24 hours
Must be able to stay for 5-7 days
Will work in 12-hour shifts
They provide lodging (in tents and on cots)
They will provide meals
Must bring boots, sleeping bags, and clothes suitable for field
work
and be prepared for an extremely hot weather
Must arrange and pay for your own flight, will be reimbursed for
the
cost of the ticket later. Jackson airport should be open to
commercial flights. Memphis is a 4 hour drive away and a
secondary
option.
Group two must bring own GPS and laptop (no exceptions). Group
two will be working in very harsh conditions and must be prepared to
deal with that.
