Abstract
Through a collaboration with NEH called Held in Trust, (which includes experts from many organizations), the CGA provided consulting in system architecture and UI design to the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation.
Bringing together best available government and commercial data and models, (NOAA, FEMA, ClimateCheck, and others), the system is designed to provide the public with local hazard risk estimates based on authoritiative data, for any part of the United States and Territories.
Though the system makes use of many large datasets, the system requires very little maintenance and has low hosting costs. This is made possible through an innovative use of Esri Hub which is free for non-profits, the ArcGIS Platform API, and just-in-time application functionality based on the user's map navigation, provided by a lamda function against hazard data stored in AWS.
