Do you need or use maps in your work? Are you an assessor, municipal clerk, realtor, or appraiser? Do you sit on your local Planning Board? This hands-on training in computer labs in 3 locations in Washington County – is for you.
The Online GIS mapping tools include for all towns in Washington County: a Parcel Viewer targeted for the general public; planners maps that provide more layers of information of use by planning boards and Code Enforcement Officers for planning and regulatory review; and Storm Surge scenarios for all Washington County coastal towns based on output from the national Weather Service SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) model under varying storm conditions, at current sea levels and with 3 feet of sea level rise.
Learn how to query the information for the town(s) you serve or where you work; print customized maps of properties with different background imagery and your choice of additional details, and run scenarios of varying storm intensity and visualize impacts on infrastructure, facilities and structures. Trainings are offered as part of the on-going partnership between the Washington County Council of Governments and the GIS Laboratory and Service Center at the University of Maine at Machias.
