Subject: Re: [RM] U.S. Geological Maps or some such
In the old days you could go into a Blueprint shop and buy maps that
show topological details, with heights above sea level and some had
flood planes shown. Now we have Google Earth which I cannot make work
on my computer, alas it might be a Mac thing.
But in working with RM and Records Centers, it would be great if you
could down load a map that shows heights, 100 year and 1000 year flood
planes and seismic zones. All in one of course. Then you could choose
the most secure location from natural threats for records center
planning on site locations.
Does such a thing exist on the Internet? Even if I have to pay for the
site like buying Standards it would be worth the money. Since the
client I was working with chose not to buy the below grade media vault
site, we are now comparing the best locations to build one above grade.
Speaking of great records centers, the City of Las Vegas built and
awesome center and the records manager drove the project. If anybody
is planning on starting a government records center project, Sharon
Kuhns ran a great project. It could be the most beautiful records
center I have ever seen. Sharon did the programming and was able to
maintain control of the space planning throughout. If I was in charge
of awards, I would give this project the best in class award.
The NFPA 232 Standard is opening the door for RM's to gain a strategic
position in planning for the records center of the future. ARMA should
ask Sharon to outline the process of gaining control and maintaining
control. My next trip to Vegas I am taking my digital camera to get
some glamour shots of that records center.
