The Enterprise for Innovative Geospatial Solutions (EIGS) has established this page as its “staging area” in response to Hurricane Katrina. EIGS members and partners have all been deeply impacted by the disaster. This page is intended to serve as a resource for our businesses as they rebound from the effects of Hurricane Katrina as well as provide information about how EIGS and its members are participating in the recovery efforts. Please contact Lisa Stone at lstone@olemiss.edu with any questions.

NEW:  The September 2006 edition of EIGS' newsletter, The Sensor, is packed full of 1-year anniversary features of Hurricane Katrina.
