@ingalls Most government web maps that display GIS data use ESRI software. That software makes a zillion calls to the ArcGIS server in order to do anything. Think 'bloatware'.

Below is a link to the 'lightweight' Leaflet web map I produce that displays the same data - in this case, all the weather watches and warnings.

Open the map, click colored area, follow the link. Since the spot you clicked might have more than one type of weather watch/warning, scroll down in the popup since each type of watch or warning has its own link for the details.

At the risk of tooting my own horn, GISsurfer has lots of features that are not apparent just by looking at the map. For both video and PDF tutorials see:

Need spatial data?

The list of ArcGIS server addresses that I curate now has over 4,000 addresses for ArcGIS servers at all levels of USA government, from federal to local.

Last fall, Jonathan at geoseer.net/ (spatial data search tool) sent me a massive list of ArcGIS server addresses that have been detected by their scanning methods. I finally had a chance to process that information and added *many* ArcGIS server addresses to the list I curate. Thanks Jonathan!

LOL, threw my #gis students in the deep end of the pool. "Figure out how to do this in ArcGIS Pro... you'll have to look it up" 🤪

(only went middling well, had to help them along and didn't get them all the way there, but they DID learn a lot trying to figure things out themselves rather than just following instructions...)

Sigh. Tough post. #Fedihired

So I found that #DOGE is currently in the org I work at. Ive confirmed from 2 colleagues. They're going after contractors first, since we have mostly no protections.

I've been looking since Nov 6, but now things are getting down to the wire.

I'm a senior cloud systems engineer. Current is administering/developing #ArcGIS #GIS . Previously was systems engineer with greenfielding and putting together multiple ATO's. Before that, was systems engineer at a NOC.

I highly prefer #remote but can travel 60 miles around #bloomingtonIN

@GottaLaff Here is more info about the EPA’s Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping team.

That EPA team has a large amount of #geospatial data hosted on an #ArcGIS server at
ejscreen.epa.gov/arcgis/rest/s

That team also has a website at epa.gov/ejscreen

Yesterday I noticed that both of those servers are now offline. I noticed that those federal servers are no longer available to the public because I volunteer to curate a list of USA government ArcGIS server addresses from federal to local and post weekly updates via a PDF file at:
