As we approach the halfway point of National Safe Digging Month, NSDM, CGA members are ramping up public awareness activities and educating potential diggers using a variety of mediums.

FASTLANE, the official blog of Mr. Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Transportation, highlights the importance of supporting NSDM and calling 811 prior to digging in a detailed post today.

This post is also linked to the social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter. The above article was submitted to us by Khrysanne Kerr, CGA.

MSAM
We are happy to announce we have implemented the new and improved version of map services, or Member Service Area Mapping (MSAM).

This new product allows members to VIEW, EDIT and submit their database changes through a web browser.

It take the place of the old, phase 2, version that we have been running for several years. The new phase 3 version, allows a member to not only view their own database, but to make edits using a variety of tools, submit those changes to the GIS / database dept at Tennessee811, and then check the status of that update as it progresses through the editing phase at TOCS and is implemented into the production database.

Members can then view the changes they submitted the following day using the same web site. Any adjustments can be made at that time and the process is again, repeated.

For further information and tutorial, or to sign up, please click the "more info" link listed, or call the GIS / database dept at 615-367-1110 (x7113, x7120, or x7126).
