10. 10 NCGC has a partnership with EROS to share the NED via ArcSDE Oracle database on a biyearly basis. The USDA Gateway Team created a new data services (10m/30m) that was completed in April, 17th 2007. Our next service will be for 1/9 arc sec. USDA-NRCS Hurricane Preparedness

11. 11 Digital Elevation Update

12. 12 Digital Elevation Update NEDS Data will be updated every six months!

13. 13 Recent Activities/Agency Efforts Coordination: USDA-NRCS-NCGC Issues: Need current Orthoimagery and High Resolution Elevation data for coastal areas in the US. In addition, USDA needs Multi- Spectral Satellite Imagery similar to Landsat for Disaster Assessment. Needs: Used in a variety of USDA Disaster Response applications for Emergency Support Functions (ESF).
