| Looking for assistance in tight budget times. The Multnomah county health department is looking for good ideas on how to better present our health of the county data and other epidemiological work. Our initial requirement is a simple and graphically intuitive/comparitive way of presenting these county level statistics. if successful we would like to also pursue map/interactive map based presentation of disaggregated health data and health equity information. I have a tight window to pull together ideas and would appreciate any and all feed back form idea people to those available to carry out the work. we also would like to draw on portland based persons who can bring local insight. That being said our website is undergoing transformation. the current site http://mchealth.org/ will transition to a new model that looks and behaves like this http://www.multco.us/chair . As usual we are delayed in getting any technical details yet. I appreciate your helpShawn Messick, Informatics manager, MCHD

SEPTEMBER 4
Maps 2.0, Google Earth, and GPS: What's New, What Works
HumaniNet
will present a status report on their Maps 2.0 initiative, which is
exploring ready-to-use Web-based mapping tools for humanitarian and
nonprofit organizations.
Dylan Myers, a digital mapping
specialist at Google Maps, will also be there to answer your questions
on the ever-expanding toolkit of Google Maps and Google Earth. Dylan
was a key member of a Mercy Corps team that conducted a GIS (geospatial
information systems) project in Indonesia following the 2004 tsunami.
Justin
Perkins, an online marketing expert and Care2's Nonprofit Services
Director, will also be present and was an advisor to the Maps 2.0
project at NetSquared.

Humaninet
will briefly discuss the initial findings of the research, which is
based on interviews with aid and relief managers in Afghanistan, Sudan,
Singapore, London, and – not least - Portland. Matt will share some
notes on emerging Web 2.0 social mapping services, including the
promise and pitfalls of 'crowd-sourced' geospatial data.
Following
Q&A, you can meet Dylan, see demos, exchange ideas, practice your
"geo-geek speak," and learn more about what online maps can do for your
project or organization.
