Should we worry about Danny

This is the time of the year that I would not plan far in advance a trip to the Caribbean.
I recall one season, the NRPA hosted a fall conference in Miami.  Not too smart and boy oh boy did the hurricane hit during the conference.

See this site for info on Danny.

NRPA and GIS

Next month at the NERR conference (http://www.esf.edu/nerr/), John Confer is going to give a talk about the National Recreation and Parks Association GIS program. See:

http://www.nrpagisdata.org/

According to the website "The GIS Model allows you to make a list (inventory) of all the lands and facilities (assets) that you own, plan, manage, operate, and maintain. By providing standard attributes and values, the GIS Model makes it possible for better local, regional, and statewide management and planning of park and recreation resources."

Sounds pretty useful.
