Onsite training will be conducted at that time. A follow-up workshop will be conducted in June 2001. The workstation installation schedule will be tied to delivery of the GOES data reception capability in Costa Rica. This delivery is anticipated in March, 2001. The three sites were connected by a Video Conferencing capability.
All presentations are available there.
The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate activities and to better organize efforts to avoid duplication and confusion. On the first day, NOAA and USGS presented status reports for their projects. Other organizations working in Central America also presented a status of their activities. On the second day, a working session was held to develop a list of ways that SICA could assist the US agencies through regional and local coordination. They presented their plan for the SDAS and assessed the local capabilities for its use.
