In this workshop, participants will learn basic terminologies for GIS and identify opportunities to apply GIS in your work. Participants will also learn how to use ArcGIS online to create a map with lines, points, and polygons. We will use real data to create a Houston hurricane evacuation map and see where City of Houston's non-emergency service calls were received to report flooding during hurricane Harvey. We will also add demographic data to the map and identify areas that need more assistance during the evacuation.

The workshop will be taught by Wenli Gao, data services librarian.
