[Janet Reyes]

Hello all,

Please find attached the notes from the January 14 Geospatial/GIS meetup. They contain announcements, links for upcoming events, and a summary of the presentation.



The meetup recording is available here<https://ucr.zoom.us/rec/share/c03yyT35Oz7YSzc7l45OqP4HtDk4iG-eTMy3GaYU1D4HATH0E1gmQ1vqVl_qo0on.Ndje9c-yNX5BCcRY>. The passcode to view is  5WZ%Ve&9


Many thanks to Alex Reed from Mapping Black California, who presented on the Combating Racism as a Public Health Crisis<https://combatingracism.com/> web platform - an innovative project in terms of both topic and technology!

Thanks also to those who attended the meetup. Our next meetup will be at noon on Tuesday, February 11.

Closing thought: as we struggle to comprehend the devastation caused by the wildfires in Los Angeles County, geospatial mapping technology has been front and center. A salute to those who have been producing the maps, aerial images, and geospatial platforms the world has been viewing over the last several days - this type of work is so critical in real time and in the recovery efforts to come.
Best,


Janet Reyes
