Lessons Learned and RecommendationsInitial data cleaning was slower than anticipated
GIS staff with REOC was unable to geocode locations
Data was utilized after the fact since evacuations of effected areas were already conducted
Review and revise the data retrieval, cleaning and analysis process to ensure streamlined and efficientSlide8
Moving forward……WCHD in collaboration with GIS developed a new process to clean the data
A new process of geocoding locations was implemented
Shared barriers and lessons learned with ASPR
WCHD requested the data a second time
Geocoding was successful
How do we use the data to help inform shelters?Slide9
