Kathryn Fenstermaker, Business Development Consultant for C. H. Fenstermaker & Associates, L.L.C., will deliver a presentation at the 2017 Louisiana Damage Prevention Summit being held March 27-29 in Baton Rouge, LA. Ms. Fenstermaker's presentation, titled "The Power of Knowledge | Data Visualization for Damage Prevention," will be an exploration into the evolution of data collection and analysis as it pertains to the damage prevention industry. Included will be a case study focused on Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s use of GIS mapping for public relations and internal workflows. The presentation will dig into how interactive data visualization can make significant contributions to safety, training, and awareness. Emphasis will be placed on the importance and beneficial aspects of keeping up with current technologies. Ms. Fenstermaker will also encourage those at the Summit to peer into the future of mapping and data analysis for damage prevention, including the use of 3D datasets and augmented reality.
Ms. Fenstermaker says, "The damage prevention industry is rarely at the forefront of our minds; it is only in times of crisis that we look to them for protection and rectification. In my presentation research, I am growing in my appreciation of those who work to keep us safe. My goal is to communicate a vision for the future of damage prevention, and propose the use of technology to overcome today’s challenges within the industry."
