Project Title: Data Management and Maintenance for Landslide and Environmental Monitoring in Southeast Alaskaproject Period: 09 20 2023 - 09 19 2024AWARD Purpose (avoid Acronyms or Federal or Agency-specific Terminology) This Project Will Complete Scoping and Architectural Planning for a Data Management System for Landslide and Environmental Monitoring Data in Southeast Alaska, Provide the Necessary Data Sharing Agreements Required to Construct the System, and Build Capacity to Maintain Data Collection Systems. Activities to Be Performed (do Not Include Links) Activities Identified in the Proposal Include Developing a Database Structure for Recording Landslide Events and Mechanism for the Public to Input Landslide Event Data Into the Database. Additional Activities Include Meeting With Stakeholders to Identify Existing Data Sets and Data Needs for Understanding Landslide Initiation and Impacts. a Web-based Plan for Integrating the Database Structure, Existing Data Components and Mechanism for Retrieving Data Will Subsequently Be Developed. Building a System Will Require That Data Sharing Agreements Exist for All the Entities Involved in Using the System. the Project Will Also Develop a Template for Data Sharing Agreements Between These Entities Including Tribal Governments. Finally, the Recipient Will Train Local People to Maintain Instruments That Supply Environmental Data Relevant to Landslide Initiation.deliverables and Expected Outcomes Upon Completion, a Plan for Constructing a Data Management System Will Be in Place as Well as a Set of Data Sharing Agreements and a Template for Future Agreements. in Addition There Will Be a Cadre of Local Citizens That Agencies Can Rely on to Troubleshoot and Provide Routine Maintenance to Instruments Monitoring Environmental Conditions. Intended Beneficiary(ies) and the Beneficiaries of This Work Will Be the Communities of Southeast Alaska That Currently Experience Risks to Public Safety From Landslides and Researchers Working to Understand Climate Impacts on Landslide Initiation.subrecipient Activities, If Known or Specified at the Time of Award.the Subrecipient (central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska) Will Work With State and Federal Agencies to Develop a Program for Training Local Citizens to Troubleshoot and Maintain Environmental Monitoring Instruments.
