The purpose of data coordination is to gather and organize data that impacts this state to support communities to anticipate, absorb, recover, and thrive when presented with environmental change and natural hazards. By coordinating and organizing data into clear, useful insights, we help communities make informed decisions that improve programs and services.

Resilience Plan Guidance

While developing the Strategic Statewide Resilience and Risk Reduction Plan, SCOR identified a wealth of datasets maintained by various state, local, and federal entities, but also illustrated the need for strategic efforts to enhance the state’s data resources. Current processes related to the State’s data can be found in Chapter 7 (Current Processes). Guided by recommendations in Chapter 9, SCOR and its stakeholders aim to promote efficient and cost-effective decision making through:

• Providing a better understanding of what data exists, who manages it, who can access it, and how it may be applied across sectors
• Decreasing duplication of effort related to data acquisition, analysis, and data management
• Connecting decision makers to accurate and up-to-date and sources of relevant information
• Reducing project development costs and barriers for project implementation
• Enhancing geospatial understanding and data visualization for current and future programs
