MapMasq for Protected Health Data (by GISinc).COVID-19 and regulations being put in place to slow the spread have affected all of us in many ways. There is potential for data science in conjunction with spatial analysis to inform decision-makers during this pandemic through broadly disseminated data—especially data that has protected or geomasked the PHI for HIPAA alignment. In the hope to promote additional data sharing that needs to take place, we at GISinc are offering free trial licenses (until September 20) of a tool that can help: MapMasq.

This data layer is an overview of project locations that were included in the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science's HABs and Hypoxia Program Review.See the HABs and Hypoxia Program Review website: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/b82102ea67ba4d4f8339baecba2aa29f

Dataset containing hazard risk and resistance data for all BCAT-tracked jurisdictions across all 50 states, DC, and 5 US territories (American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, USVI), but rolled up to the county level. Tracked hazards include: flood, seismic, damaging wind, hurricane wind, and tornado. These five hazards are also consolidated into a "combined hazard" category. If a jurisdiction has high risk for any one of the five tracked hazards, it has high "combined hazard" risk. A jurisdiction is "combined hazard" resistant if and only if it is resistant to all of the individual five hazards for which it has high risk. Risk and resistance methodology is described in detail in the BCAT Glossary, accessible at www.fema.gov/bcat. Dataset aims to track Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), those political subdivisions of a state which adopt and enforce building codes or, in the absence of any state restrictions, could adopt and enforce building codes if they wanted to. These types of jurisdictions primarily tend to be incorporated places and counties (i.e., not statistical entities like Census blocks or tracts or Census Designated Places). The jurisdictional data is rolled up to the county level such that counties fall into one of three categories: fully resistant (meaning all the tracked jurisdictions in that county are resistant to the given hazard(s)), partially resistant (meaning some but not all of the jurisdictions in that county are resistant to the given hazard(s)), and not resistant (meaning none of the tracked jurisdictions in that county are resistant to the given hazard(s)).

This layer contains address and height info (tags) for buildings in Orange County, California that can be added to existing and new building features in OpenStreetMap.Data SourceThe building footprints were downloaded in May 2022 from the ArcGIS Hub Open Data site.This layer contains 781,222 building centroid points for Orange CountyOSM Editor ToolsThis layer is accessible through new tools in OSM editors (e.g. updated version of RapiD) that enable OSM mappers to display the features on a map, select an individual feature to inspect its geometry and tags, and then use the feature for editing. OSM mappers should review the individual features and tags, and make any edits and additions that are appropriate, before selecting other features to edit and uploading edits to OSM.

Urban heat islands are small areas where temperatures are unnaturally high - usually due to dense buildings, expansive hard surfaces, or a lack of tree cover or greenspace. People living in these communities are exposed to more dangerous conditions, especially as daytime high and nighttime low temperatures increase over time. NOAA Climate Program Office and CAPA Strategies have partnered with cities around the United States to map urban heat islands. The NOAA Visualization Lab, part of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service, has made the original heat mapping data available as feature services.
