These fires caused a lot of confusion and fear, as well as being the reason for one of the largest evacuations ever in the state.<br />
<br />
Below is a quick map of the various fires that burned in the region. Collectively these are known as the 2007 Firestorm.<br />

During the month of October, which most people think of as wet wintertime, we get seasonal santa ana winds in the region. These are dry, warm winds that blow from the east over the desert, instead of the prevailing winds from the west over the ocean. These winds, along with high heat and dry conditions, combine to create the worst time for potential fires in the region.@SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730565.post-77825964840837501002012-12-04T09:23:00.003-08:002012-12-04T09:23:13.024-08:00A map for TonySample embedded map showing data hosted in the cloud.<br />

Searched for data layer, added to map, changed symbology, modified pop-up, saved, shared. It's that easy! <br />
<br />
Made web map in five minutes, posted to the web in one. Could also save to web application. And the web map will open up in any browser, on any device - even smart phones and tablets.<br />

Towards the south below San Diego Bay is the city of Imperial Beach. If you are looking for a quieter area, this might be the place. If you have kids you will be interested in the map below which shows the locations of all the schools in the city – Elementary through Adult. <br />

There is a ton a data available – especially spatial data – for the City of San Diego. This challenge is a great way to win a little cash and create some nice geospatial apps!</p> <iframe height="600" marginheight="0" src="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/embedViewer.html?webmap=d82e1c8202e84047bb0078eb49a5998f&extent=-117.511,32.5203,-116.801,32.9829&zoom=true&scale=true" frameborder="0" width="940" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> <br /><small><a style="text-align: left; color: #0000ff" href="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=d82e1c8202e84047bb0078eb49a5998f&extent=-117.511,32.5203,-116.801,32.9829" target="_blank">View Larger Map</a></small> <p>Map built from CSV file on <a href="http://www.arcgis.com/" target="_blank">ArcGIS.com</a>.</p> @SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730565.post-88043959483409251802011-11-17T14:56:00.001-08:002011-12-15T08:41:36.484-08:00Looking for a Park in the City of Poway?<p>There are quite a few parks within the City of Poway. <br />Here’s a map of them to aid you in locating where to go for a walk, or party, or dog walk, or whatever. </p> <p>Want to make a map with your topic of interest on it, and use it in your web site? It’s easy! <br />Esri continues to update and expand <a href="http://www.arcgis.com/" target="_blank">ArcGIS.com</a> with new features and functionality. Lots of great stuff there now, and more continues to be released every few months – you can do things like the embedded maps you see on this blog, and all for free! </p> <p>A nice feature is drag & drop of CSV files to create “dots on a map” – this is how I got the Poway Parks on the map below. This functionality was recently upgraded to allow for your CSV file to be stored online in the location of your choosing – and when updates happen to that online file, they are reflected on your map without you having to reload & re-symbolize the data! Very nice. </p> <p>When you are creating your map with the ArcGIS.com map viewer your searches will now be more relevant – it used to be that a search for “fire” brought back a LOT of layers to dig through, many from other states, or around the world. Interesting, but generally not very useful when building a map view focused on a single city. Well, the <a href="http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/archive/2011/12/01/whats-new-in-arcgis-online-december-2011.aspx" target="_blank">December 2011 ArcGIS Online update</a> added Spatial Search. So now when I am zoomed into Poway and I search on “fire” – I get a much more relevant list of map services returned to me. <br />Also be sure to check out the bottom of that post because it has some information on ArcGIS Online subscriptions. More on this in the next few months, </p> <p>Also remember that the maps you create and share with ArcGIS.com can be used in multiple ways. Below is an example of how easy it is to embed a map. But I could have also chosen to use this map as a web application. Check it out: <a title="http://bit.ly/vF0c2I" href="http://bit.ly/vF0c2I">http://bit.ly/vF0c2I</a>  <br />A new feature in a recent update was the ability to share a map, select one of the ArcGIS.com map app templates, and then actually <a href="http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/archive/2011/10/25/host-custom-apps-via-arcgis-online.aspx" target="_blank">publish that map</a> into the ArcGIS Online cloud! This is fantastic for community groups or agencies that don’t have a public facing ArcGIS Server box, but want to be able to share information publically. More and more important these days for public agencies looking to increase transparency into their data and work. Feel free to ping me if you want to do this but aren’t sure where to go. </p> <p>I highly recommend keeping an eye on the <a href="http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/default.aspx" target="_blank">ArcGIS Online Blog</a> – it is updated often with tips & tricks as well as announcement and descriptions on updates as they occur. There’s a lot to keep up with Enhanced HTML5 support, KML support, enhanced sharing, more symbols & symbol search, support for secure ArcGIS services (this is huge for many agencies), </p> <iframe height="600" marginheight="0" src="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/embedViewer.html?webmap=3ff140095bfa4b0091a999955236b937&zoom=true&scale=true" frameborder="0" width="940" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> <br /><small><a style="text-align: left; color: #0000ff" href="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=3ff140095bfa4b0091a999955236b937" target="_blank">View Larger Map</a></small> <p>Have fun in Poway! Be sure to also visit the <a href="http://www.poway.org" target="_blank">city web site</a>.</p> <p>Also – let me know about maps you are creating and embedding, or that you publish with an ArcGIS.com template.

Great on days like today when we get the first real rain of the season - or for people that still have fire scares on their property, etc.<br />
<br />
The County website has additional information here: <a href="http://www.countynewscenter.com/news/county-giving-free-sand-bags-residents">http://www.countynewscenter.com/news/county-giving-free-sand-bags-residents</a><br />
<br />
Quickly you will see that there are seven locations. There are partial addresses and no map to help you get your bearings.<br />
<br />
I decided to map it out. I did a little copy/paste work putting the location info into a CSV file. Loaded that up into <a href="http://explorer.arcgis.com/">ArcGIS Explorer Online</a> to geocode the locations and do some editing of the icons and such. Dropped that into the ArcGIS.com Map Viewer and shared it out publicly, and also generated the HTML code to pop into this quick blog post. <br />
<br />
Now I know where to go in Valley Center if I should need some sandbags!<br />

Did you make it to the GIS Managers' Open Summit? It was an interesting day, and our first time having an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference">unconference</a> as part of the UC. Most of the folks there were not really familiar with the idea of an unconference or how it works, but they all survived and I think most got a lot out of it.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day I asked Victoria if she thought we would do this again next year. She didn't know, but hoped we would. I had to agree.<br />
<br />
Well, here we are a year later. And guess what? Not only are we doing the Open Summit again - but we are doing it over two days! Tuesday and Wednesday, with a few twists to the schedule, and a few little changes from last year.<br />
<br />
More to come on that. Watch for Tweets on the subject - specifically follow @<a href="http://twitter.com/geotc">geoTC</a> and @<a href="http://twitter.com/VKouyoumjian">VKouyoumjian </a>for updates on Open Summit. Also follow @<a href="http://twitter.com/esriuc">EsriUC</a> for all things UC.<br />
<br />
So plan on coming by for a day, or a morning, or an afternoon. We would love to see you there. If you would like to add it to your "My UC" agenda - here's the link: <a href="http://events.esri.com/uc/2011/infoweb/onlineagenda/?fa=ofg_details_form&ScheduleID=2096">http://events.esri.com/uc/2011/infoweb/onlineagenda/?fa=ofg_details_form&ScheduleID=2096</a> for Tuesday. Then at the bottom for that page is the link for Wednesday. <br />
<br />
You can also follow along and keep the conversation going on the LinkedIn <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3251417&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr">'Managers in GIS'</a> group.<br />
<br />

Included in that group with you and me is Crystal Dorn from the CA/HI/NV Regional Office (on Twitter @<a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn/" target="_blank">CrystalDorn</a>). </p> <p>One thing we have seen year after year is that clients love to see Crystal’s Usability Tips & Tricks demos at meetings and conferences. So when she told me she was going to Tweet some tips from <a href="http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/whats-new/index.html" target="_blank">ArcGIS 10</a> (<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10" target="_blank">#ArcGIS10</a>) I decided that I would RT them out as well. And for you folks not on Twitter for whatever reason, I thought it might be nice to gather them all up in one blog post too! So here you go…</p> <p>@<a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn">CrystalDorn</a>: Love it! Searching for symbols super easy & faster, e.g. "Hazmat RED" lists all hazmat red symbols! <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10">#ArcGIS10</a> </p> <p><strong>@</strong><a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn">CrystalDorn</a>:<strong> </strong>Select by Lasso on the new Selection Tools where have you been my whole ArcMap life? Sometimes it's the little things! <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10">#ArcGIS10</a></p> <p>@<a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn">CrystalDorn</a>: ArcMap Table container window lets attribute table be docked side-by-side or opened via tabs - great feature! <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10">#ArcGIS10</a></p> <p>@<a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn">CrystalDorn</a>: Woohoo can change edit sketch (vertex, segments, etc.) symbology now in Editor options! <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10">#ArcGIS10</a> </p> <p>@<a href="http://twitter.com/CrystalDorn">CrystalDorn</a>: ...and can select multiple vertices! New Edit Vertices toolbar will be a popular feature of <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArcGIS10">#ArcGIS10</a> </p> <p>I think Crystal is on the road tomorrow, so probably no new tips. I’ll keep an eye out though, and if she starts up again I will RT and post them here. </p> @SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730565.post-9556386568442859442010-01-21T17:03:00.000-08:002010-01-21T17:02:12.242-08:00ESRI Tools & Resources for Haiti (& other) Response Efforts<p><strong>Updated: Jan 21, 2010:</strong></p> <p><strong>TwitterSearch Flex viewer Widget: </strong><a title="http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16782" href="http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16782"><strong>http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16782</strong></a>  <br />The idea for this widget came about at the <a href="http://www.rhok.org/" target="_blank">Random Hacks of Kindness</a> event in CA back in Nov 2009. The BarCamp discussions had a lot of talk about crowd-sourced information, especially Tweets. We weren’t able to complete the code for this widget at the event, but now it is ready for prime time (well, beta prime time). It is a multi-fuction widget in that you can search for Tweets within a draw radius area (like around the island of Haiti), and you can also filter your radius search results by up-to three keywords or hashtags. This widget also allows you to send Tweets, and even better – geo-locate those Tweets. So if you are Tweeting about something happening somewhere else, you can locate the Tweet in that area. Widget is also ready to go in the <a href="http://geoss.esri.com/geoviewer/" target="_blank">GEO Viewer</a>.

Lots of good stuff in version 10.</p> <p>The beta program is still open – talk to your ESRI representative for more information. </p> <p>Some other blogs posts to review (I’m sure there will be many more tomorrow):</p> <p><a title="http://blog.gisuser.com/?p=5891&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter" href="http://blog.gisuser.com/?p=5891&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter">http://blog.gisuser.com/?p=5891&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter</a> </p> <p><a title="http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2010/01/11/arcgis-9-4-is-now-arcgis-10/" href="http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2010/01/11/arcgis-9-4-is-now-arcgis-10/">http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2010/01/11/arcgis-9-4-is-now-arcgis-10/</a> </p> <p><a title="http://geo.geek.nz/esri/arcgis-9-4-renamed-arcgis-10/" href="http://geo.geek.nz/esri/arcgis-9-4-renamed-arcgis-10/">http://geo.geek.nz/esri/arcgis-9-4-renamed-arcgis-10/</a></p> @SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730565.post-18695462623679972422009-12-09T17:10:00.001-08:002009-12-09T17:10:18.332-08:00Bye Bye Geography Network<p>After a nine-year run, the Geography Network will be closing up shop at the end of 2009. </p> <p>With so much data on <a href="http://www.arcgisonline.com/">ArcGIS Online</a> with multiple ways to access it and so many other web services available, <a href="http://www.esri.com/">ESRI</a> has decided the time has come to shut it down. </p> <p>Here’s the blog post about it: <a title="http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/archive/2009/12/09/geography-network-to-retire.aspx" href="http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/archive/2009/12/09/geography-network-to-retire.aspx">http://blogs.esri.com/Support/blogs/arcgisonline/archive/2009/12/09/geography-network-to-retire.aspx</a></p> @SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730565.post-4714952918287785062009-08-20T22:48:00.001-07:002009-08-20T22:48:48.062-07:00DEPRECATION PLAN FOR ARCGIS 9.3.1 AND ARCGIS 9.4<p>It is time to start thinking about your back-end systems and development environments and OS’s and… </p> <p>New document just released to the ESRI Support pages that discusses platform changes at the current 9.3.1 release, and the next release – 9.4. </p> <p>It will be interesting to see what parts of the changes at 9.4 get the most interest (Noise? Worry? Joy?) from clients, and also in the social networking realm – especially Twitter. </p> <p>See <strong><a href="http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techarticles.articleShow&d=37113">Technical Article 37113</a></strong> for more details. </p> @SDBBQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679003816184997060noreply@blogger.com0
