Department of Emergency Management
The Island County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) works directly with the Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) and the State Homeland Security Region 1 which includes Island, San Juan, Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish Counties.
Hazard Mitigation
Island County Department of Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation website is now available at: http://www.islandcountyDEM.org
The DEM is responsible for emergency management within Island County to include planning and coordinating actions for the preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery from natural and man-made emergencies and disasters. DEM provides hazard information, coordinates and provides emergency training for county residents and first responders. The DEM also operates the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when it is activated.
Island County Emergency Alerts
Island County is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.
The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.
Click here sign-up for emergency alerts.
Are YOU Ready for Winter Weather?
Take Winter By Storm and get ready before the the winds blow and the snow flies! Don't let our normal relatively benign weather lull you into security. DEM has detailed emergency plans in place. But, you too need to take these steps to get ready:
Create an emergency preparedness kit with at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and water for your home and office. Kits prepared for vehicle road travel and winter weather evacuation go-kits are also advised.
Make a plan and practice the plan with your family and those who depend on you.
Stay informed and know the weather approaching, so you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way.
Since we live in a rural area and cars are important, be sure to be prepared to camp out in your car. Check road conditions here and WADOT.
Use the tools on this page to help you get prepared. Share them with those you love (family, friends, neighbors, and community members) to help them get prepared, too.
Widespread flooding is more of a problem for Skagit County but it can disrupt routine resupply of Whidbey Island and the Stillaguamish can create problems for Camano Island. Water saturated soil will cause landslides. Be aware of the potential in your area. Local flooding from storm drains is likely and sand bags are available to purchase at Skagit Farmers Supply, Home Depot and other retailers. Power outages are to be expected, be prepared—PSE is prepared and you can report outages at 1-888-225-5773.
Ensure that your pets are adequately protected and that you can minister to them in an emergency.

Crane Windsor Garden Shed, 3 x 3.6m, Sage
Product information
Crane's new range of low-maintenance garden sheds are great value, and are a beautiful focal point to your outdoor space. They are real gardeners' sheds, with traditional design features such as vertical sawn boards, and in an array of attractive colour palettes to suit any garden.

The Wilson College field hockey team posted a 2-1 victory over the Neumann University Knights yesterday afternoon. The knights were first on the board, when Ellyn Jones scored an unassisted goal eight minutes into the game.
However, Wilson would come out strong in the second half out shooting Neumann 15 to 5. Freshman, Arissa Ward (Harrisburg, Pa. / Central Dauphin) tied the game when she found the back of the cage off a pass from Hillary Swartz (Carlisle, Pa./ Boiling Springs.)
The game remained tied for the majority of the second half, the two teams locked in a defensive battle. Wilson was presented with a final opportunity to score when they were awarded a penalty stroke with 22 seconds remaining in the game. The rookie, Ward, stepped up and buried the shot, clinching the victory for the Phoenix.
The Phoenix advance to 2-2 for the season and will next host Goucher College on Friday, September 14. Game time is set of 3:00 pm

There are several swimmers that Mississippi Shockwave Aquatic Team coach Robert Gonzalez depends on to provide wins and points in a state championship situation.
One particular member of the Shockwave emerged at the State Short-course Championships in Laurel earlier this month that Gonzalez wasn't expecting.
Mary Catherine Ray was seeded in the top five going into the 11-12 girls 50 breaststroke, but went out and won the competitive event with a time of 37.19.
"When I heard her name announced in the preliminaries as the No. 1 seed for finals, that caught my ear more than anything," Gonzalez said. "Of all the races, that was the most fun because in finals that night, it was so unexpected in her first-ever state championship on the individual basis."
The margin of victory was slim as the eighth-place swimmer notched a time of 37.9.
"You are talking about with 5 yards out, it was anybody's race and she just emerged the last couple of strokes to pull it out," Gonzalez said. "That was great for her and I hope it builds her confidence level."
Gonzalez was happy with the performance of the entire team, but particularly the 11-12 girls division that one first-place showing and three third-place finishes.
The Shockwave, which finished second in the state as a team with 4,130 points, had 36 swimmers qualify for state and 34 participated with 85 percent of the team getting the best times of the season.
"That was a really high number for any kind of meet but to have that in a state championship, it's what you want to see as a coach," Gonzalez said. "You want your best swims to come at the most important meet of the season. To be able to finish it off that way was really good for us."
It has been the pattern since Gonzalez took over as coach of the Shockwave that the breaststroke has been the strongest event for the squad.
The trend continued at the state championships as the Shockwave had three different individuals took home breaststroke titles.
Along with Ray, Cheng Ye won the 100 and 200 breaststroke in 13-14 boys and Laken Vickers won the 100 and 200 breaststroke in 13-14 girls.
"They went into the meet seeded No. 1 and both had great swims," Gonzalez said. "They left the meet seeded with AAA times and left with quad A time so they moved up in the rankings on a national basis."
Other top three finishers for the Shockwave were Andy Bond (third in senior boys 400 individual medley), Laken Vickers (third in 13-14 girls 50 freestyle), Cade Vickers (second in 9-10 boys 50 and 100 breaststroke and third in boys 100 butterfly), Adam Bond (second in 13-14 boys 200 butterfly and third in 13-14 boys 100 butterfly), Angie Harri (third in 11-12 girls 200 individual medley), Anna Carr (third in 11-12 girls 50 and 100 backstroke), and Ye (second in 13-14 boys individual medley and third in 13-14 boys butterfly).
"Although Cheng Ye's breaststrokes were solid, his 200 individual medley is a race we've been having a couple of issues with this season," Gonzalez said. "He really put all four strokes together, had had a good competition in the finals and finished second after being seeded sixth. He went from a 215 down to a 209 in that one race."
Gonzalez said Carr and Adam Bond were able to cut times in the 50 backstroke and 200 butterfly, respectively.
The Shockwave now look ahead to the long-course season that starts Monday with the sign-up day.
It's Gonzalez's hope to build off the success of the short-course season and new swimmers will become involved.
"We're really excited for the summer time," Gonzalez said. "We don't have too many kids who are aging out of their division so we should be stronger in the long-course season. All we can do is build."
The anticipation is building for a June trip to New Orleans for a meet that Gonzalez says will allow the team to expand their competition to a Southeastern region basis.

Write a Review
Our Medium Wrap Journal isn't the usual diary you're used to, and we think that's a good thing. With its old world style, it's sure to take you back to a simpler time and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Made from leather inside and out, this Medium Wrap Journal is filled with ruled ivory pages for taking notes, making drawings, or jotting down pieces of inspiration you see in everyday life. The flap design and leather strap on the outside lets you wrap it all up and securely tie it when not in use so your private thoughts stay private. Timeless in design, our Medium Wrap Journal makes a beautiful gift for yourself or a friend.
With its vegetable-tanned, aniline, milled shoulders, the Terra Italian leather collection makes quite a statement for those that take pleasure in the look and feel of a distinct, textured finish with true character. This naturally finished Italian leather undergoes the least amount of processing of all our collections, leaving each piece with its rugged character intact so you get all the original lines and patterns. Those who admire rustic beauty and a broken-in feel will find years of enjoyment with this collection.
Got this as a personalized gift for someone special and they absolutely loved it. Presentation of how it is delivered is also impeccable!
Quality is good! If you're getting the dark cherry though, be warned- the color is a lot more 'ripe cherry' than 'dark cherry'. Its vibrant red. Not what's shown in the picture- a lot closer to the little icon box towards the top right of the screen.
This was ordered as a gift for a gifted writer friend of mine. It is beautiful, arrived on time, and was extremely well received.
After looking on other sites was reconsidering this gift. Other sites looked unfinished and to soft on this natural looking cover. I was Leary about item. Hit your site and looked nice so I risked it . Your pictures are honest and the workmanship was beautiful. Same soft leather with clean edges and sturdy. And the gift box was more then I expected . Sooo pleased! I would and will shop here again and highly recommend to anyone that is looking for quality for their money.
The journal looks beautiful, and the presentation box is perfect. I know it will be the perfect Christmas gift for my gentleman friend.
Great soft leather with a unique wrap. Could use paper that lays flat as it's hard to write near the binding. A little overpriced.
This item was purchased as a gift for a high school graduating senior. I believe the gift was a true acknowledgement of the many high achievements accomplished by the young graduate. The journal is of the highest quality and arrived boxed and wrapped beautifully. Thank you.
very nice quality product, beautiful product presentation, extremely satisfied with this purchase.
I bought this as a gift for my wife. It is beautiful and very nicely made. Quality is superb and she loves it.
Beautiful journal. The quality is superb and the packaging is more than expected.
I purchased this item along with the sandalwood roller pen. I was extremely pleased with both products. Not only did they exceed expectations but both were beautifully gift boxed. This will be a birthday gift and I know the recipient will be thrilled.
This is exactly what I was looking for and arrived properly. Everything is exceptional. Thank you. One small thing that would be helpful would be a ""silk"" place marker so you don't have to leaf through to find where you left off. Just an idea.
It was prettier than in the picture, Initials were done very professional. Packaging was beautiful as well. My nephews will love them.
I bought this for my boss. It was the perfect gift for someone who seems to have everything! The end product exceeded my expectations.
The quality of this leather journal surpassed my expectations. It is beautiful and will make the perfect Christmas gift for my college-age child. I'm glad I looked at what several websites were offering in the way of leather writing journals before returning to yours and ordering this product.
Exactly what I wanted! Plan to give it to my brother on my wedding day with a wedding poem inside. He will love it! Thanks
Great quality, boyfriend loved it!
This item was a 50th birthday gift for a friend. The leather was very nice quality. I received the item promptly. I also had it embossed with her initials. She and I both were very satisfied.
I was very pleased with the quality of the journal I order. It was the perfect graduation gift for a young lady. Who recently received her Masters. The journal was idea for her career choice and she love it!
Beautiful quality. Will be giving diary as a gift for a Peace Corp volunteer
The journal exceeded my expectations. And it arrived in a beautiful box.
I bought this as a gift for a friend going on a six-month long trip. The quality was excellent and my friend was really impressed.
The leather was so soft and the smell!!! love it. All the products I have ordered from you guys have been great and the presentation is great!
It's a nice diary
Beautiful, well-constructed, everything I had hoped it would be.
This Diary arrived beautifully boxed and is very attractive. I bought this for my 14 year old grandson for Christmas. He wanted to start a journal and I really like the fact that the diary itself, when full, can be removed and a new one can be put in the cover. Overall I think that it is an excellent buy.
The leather is beautiful, and the journal came to me within just a few days of ordering it. I like that it comes with paper that can be reordered, but its not an heirloom kind of paper with any fancy binding. I'm giving this as a gift and can't wait to see his response to it.
What a wonderful surprise to find that this product is as described! The soft cover has the delicious aroma one expects from leather. Perfect size, beautiful style.
The product is beautiful, monogram adds a very nice touch to a gift, even the box contributes to an overall WOW experience - all the little details put together make a perfect gift. Shopping was a easy, shipping right on time, timely communication upon placing and shipping of the order. I am looking forward to buying from this company again.
I am an avid writter; I write to release stress, and I write because I can confide in a book, what I let no one else in on. I was crushed when a now "ex" friend of mine dropped my old diary in the toilet. It destroyed so many things that I wanted to remember for the rest of my life. Because I was hurt by this, my boyfriend bought me a new diary. I was stunned to see this diary. It is not only beautiful, but a well thought-out gift. It means so much to me. I love it.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Posts Tagged 'centrilogic'
In 2000, the Privacy Commissioner in Canada passed the Personal Information Protection & Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). It sets out the legal rules for collecting and storing (read: protecting) personal information on Canadians.
Separately, in its Department of Homeland Security response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the US government expanded its power to subpoena data with the "Patriot Act". The US government can subpoena data from companies and gag them from even notifying account holders. The public doesn't know how often this happens, but we do have a high profile example in the news right now: Twitter Shines a Spotlight on Secret F.B.I. Subpoenas.
Since these two legal frameworks were established, cloud computing has became broadly accepted, thanks in part to excellent platforms like Amazon Web Services. None of the major cloud platforms have data centers in Canada, which means there is a potential collision between PIPEDA and US law that would complicate cloud usage for services that collect and store Canadian consumer data.
Should Canadian companies be nervous about storing data in cloud providers in the US? I turned up no definitive answer, but here's some interesting tidbits from the Canadian government.
- "PIPEDA does not prohibit organizations in Canada from transferring personal information to an organization in another jurisdiction for processing."
"In an investigation into a complaint involving outsourcing to a U.S. firm by CIBC Visa, the OPC found CIBC to be in compliance with PIPEDA."–Guidelines for Processing Personal Data Across Borders
- "PIPEDA does not hinder our global economy. In fact, the legislation itself states that it is intended to support and promote electronic commerce by protecting personal information."
"The organization needs to use contractual or other means to provide a level of protection comparable to PIPEDA while the information is being processed by a third party."–Canadian Federal Privacy Legislation: The First Ten Years (Sept 2010)
Sounds like some wiggle room to me. Executives need to weigh the risk of being sued in Canada (as CIBC Visa was sued in 2004) against the significant reward of moving their systems into the cloud.
CentriLogic, a cloud/hosting company, is trying to capitalize on the situation. Their marketing pitch, writ large in all-caps on their homepage: Do you know where your cloud servers are?
Unfortunately, the CentriLogic platform is nowhere near competitive with Amazon's, which continues to impress me with frequent and significant upgrades. (AWS is this CTO's dream come true!)
How can Canada-focused companies deliver consumer products and services on a par with their US counterparts if they can't leverage modern cloud platforms?

Picasso's Kiki (GZ008) kicked off the story of Swatch and Art with a 140-piece edition, each with different colours. The graphically sophisticated design fits colours together like an unfinished screen print, suggesting the layers of image and meaning that clutter the contemporary world. The image is absent a few colour fields: the white spaces produce the carefully cut and structured effect of a stained-glass window with some panels clear to the light. The figurative representation on the dial is contemporary in style and perspective, with a graphic novel-like rendition of a face and a post-modern jumble of lines and forms fanned out around it.

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2013 Live Results Blog — Sean Lowe Picks the Final Three!
Just when he was finally getting used to the joy of pink shorts and tans that didn't come from a spray bottle, Sean Lowe and his Bachelor Season 17 foursome are being whisked back to real life. And it doesn't get much realer than meeting the families of the last ladies left in limbo.
That's right, on this week's episode, Sean will stop by Texas to see AshLee Frazier's Houston homestead, hit the road to Catherine Giudici's Seattle set-up, bop down to Marina del Rey for Desiree Hartsock SoCal stomping ground, and get on base (literally) at Lindsay Yenter's Fort Leonard Wood lodging. If that's enough alliteration for y'all, let's get on with it.
This week, we're cozying up with a bottle or six of our favorite drink (peach-flavored Boone's Farm, obvi), and live tweeting the funniest moments of the episode. Follow along at @BachelrWetpaint, and tweet us your favorite quotes, most ridiculous observations, and the rules of your own personal #BachelorDrinkingGame.
Did we mention that this episode features an "emotional rose ceremony"? Good, that'll be a nice break from the ones where we only ugly cried a little bit. Alright, it's go time.
Part One: AshLee and Sean's Twilight Moment
Sean appears out of nowhere and Ash drags her dog around while they wear coordinating plaids and lay in a field and sparkle. Luckily, the awkwardness of this date is totally mitigated by the bottle of white wine she has.
AshLee wants to "love and protect" Sean's heart, Kasey Kahl-style, or wants him to do it or something. Anyway, the point is she's stoked and there are daisies and a dog who mysteriously disappears when the talking gets intense.
Real talk: Ash seems to be the most ready for marriage, and not because she's older, Tierra. The girl knows what she wants and how to organize it.
"Today's the beginning of everything. I've been dreaming of this day since I was a little girl, like four or five." Wait, we're confused, you've been dreaming about introducing your parents to some dude who's also dating three other girls on a reality show? Dream big, Frazier.
"Sean takes us to this lake," Ash tells her parents "and we did this thing called the Polar Bear Plunge. "Oh no," her mom says, and her hair is amazing. They sit last supper-style and talk about the time they've spent so far on the show. Her mom talks more about the loving and protecting of the hearts. It's all a metaphor for something.
"What are your intentions for AshLee, are you going to break her heart?" Why yes, Mrs. Frazier, he plans on it. Psych, IRL he tells her he adores her daughter, so he's doing great so far, thanks to the wine.
AshLee's dad is all "You'd better be good to my daughter." Sean immediately asks him about signing off on his seventeen-year-old daughter getting married. Touché, Sean.
Dad tells Sean the touching story of how he first met Ash, which he creepily calls "his first date with Ash." There has got to be a different way to say this. He told the worker, "This one's gonna be a hard one to give back." What a romantic.
AshLee talks about fairy dust and then Sean drives off. Seems like a successful day, even though we never saw AshLee's house, so we're confused about whether maybe Ash rented a park for the day or something. It's weird.
Part Two: Apparently it Rains in Seattle
In order to show Sean "everything about Seattle," she takes him to the Pike Place Market fish-throwing guys, because apparently that's everything you need to know about the city.
They throw fish and Sean is wearing a blazer, making him the fanciest-dressed person in the city. We're sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere "the fish is slippery" just like a heart?
"I don't want to be the cool guy with her," Sean says of hanging with Catherine. Then they touch the disgusting gum wall and hug a lot and talk about how much they like each other.
Fact: Since watching Catherine and Sean at the gum wall, AshLee is planning to organize the wads by color and size.
At Catherine's house, they do the normal activities families do: they eat lumpia, kiss and touch foreheads, and he does push-ups while she lays on his back. Must be Tuesday.
Sean asks her sisters if C$ is ready to settle down. They're really pretty and honest and it seems like they have a really good relationship. "If you don't support her dreams then..." subtext: you'd better get it together, Lowe. Also of note: if we need character witnesses, we're likely not going to pick Catherine's sisters.
Catherine's mom tells Sean not to lead her on because apparently she's never watched the show before and doesn't understand that if he doesn't do that, the season is a whole lot shorter.
Part Three: Army Brattiness and Yelling
Linds wants to see what "Sean is like in the real world," so she takes him to, um, an army base. Not exactly a Chili's, eh Yenter? They walk around town and Lindsay asks if Sean's ever been to a small town. "This is more closely related to real life than anything else," Sean says, and that sentence is only technically English.
They go to a cute little bar and talk about what Sean is supposed to call Lindsay's dad. War zone time in Loweville. Linds gives Sean some ARMY-ready clothes and then in a not at all scripted confrontation, she yells at him and makes him do drills.
As if you couldn't guess, Sean and his sweet outfit do some pushups. Naturally, Lindsay sits on his back while he does them, bringing the "girls who sit on Sean while he works out" count to two. Fact: this is our favorite way to "participate" in exercise activities too.
Holy intimidation, Batman. "Everyone trains here and my dad runs it." Our dad makes us take the garbage out sometimes. Sean gulps audibly and is like "Lindsay's dad's job is to make men, and uh, hopefully he can see that I'm a man and I can protect her."
Lindsay's dad isn't as scary as Sean feared upon first introductions, but her mom takes Sean and his eggplant polo to talk. Momma Yenter asks Sean if he's falling in love with her daughter, and Sean says those sweet words: "I'm not in a position to say that." Uh, okay. "I feel like I've already won her over," Sean reflects of his time with the matriarch.
General Yenter is way chiller than we expected and he relates to Sean on a man-to-man level. And then he relates Sean's request for a blessing to marry his daughter to jumping out of a plane as a paratrooper. "It makes me more attracted to Lindsay." Is that related? We don't know, we passed out.
Part Four: Des Takes Sean Hiking
Because Des is actually the perfect girl for Sean, she takes him hiking. They are dressed in technicolors and Sean is wearing the worst henley of the season. After Sean steps on a rogue dog (is it AshLee's?), they go to her house to make dinner.
There's a knock on the door and it's Des's ex. "I see a man standing there. I think it could be her brother but I'm confused why she doesn't know he's here." The guy tells Des he loves her. Sean clinches his fist and is all "You wanna talk to me, talk to me." Good thing he changed out of the pink shorts first.
"Now that he's here, I have to tell you something." Des is totally messing with Sean. The dude is an actor. "GOTCHA!" she yells. Atta girl, Desiree.
"You nailed me. You got me better than I got you." "She can also give one out" "I can be loose and have fun with her." The euphemisms pour from Sean's mouth and it's hard to watch.
Des's mom is adorable and tells D that Sean is good looking. Her dad also thinks Sean would be a good son-in-law. Perfect, right? Nope, because there's a brother involved. "A lot of guys are gonna make you happy, but that's not what it's about," he says. He seems great, and not at all like he's about to cockblock Des til the sun comes up.
Desiree's brother says something about Sean not showing reciprocation to her feelings, like three times. Fact: Desiree's brother just learned the word "reciprocation" from his Word of the Day calendar. Then he tells Sean he's a playboy. "You just have fun there and then go to the next one and have fun there." Yeah, almost like it's the way the game is played.
"I want to tell Nate off," Sean admits. Us too, buddy. "I know you're skeptical," Des says. "That's an understatement." Desiree's parents talk about the weather. Good save. Fun note: Nate has hand tattoos. Speculation: this is not going to end well. We wouldn't want to be related to that guy either.
"Nate, you just don't understand things," the parents tell hand tattoos. We bet they've had that conversation before.
Part Five: Sean's Heart Feels Like It's Tearing
It's rose ceremony time and all the ladies look extra hot. Lindsay is wearing the little sister version of Kacie B's dress. Right before eliminations begin, Des pulls Sean aside to talk to him, Chris Bukowski style.
She apologizes for her hometown date, even though it wasn't really her fault. Catherine and her middle-parted hair question "everything."
AshLee gets the first rose because he's doing it in alphabetical order. Lindsay is next, which means Tierra will get the last rose (#notpayingattention). There's only one left and it either goes to Catherine or Des. How can you eliminate one of those two?
Apparently he can't decide, because he leaves the room to go look at pictures. Chris Harrison walks in all "hey man, we're doing a show here."
"It's a lose-lose" Sean says of Des and Catherine. Let's hope they don't watch the show... "I think it comes down to who will I miss the most tomorrow if I send them home tonight." Or, you know, which one you want to marry. But no worries, Sean. You can always just call up the other one, Jason Mesnick style.
In the end, Des goes home. "I feel like you have all the qualities I look for and maybe I'll regret it tomorrow." You will. "I've been praying for clarity and I just didn't get it." Des tells him he made a huge mistake. He's not helping. Real talk: that's way worse than just being like "it's over, bye."
Do you think Sean made the right choice? Was it Desiree's brother that threw the wrench in her vows? Will she be the next Bachelorette? Weigh in below, guys.

A piece for Swatch was the perfect opportunity for the ever-provocative Kenny Scharf, whose boundary-pushing work and sense of humour were a natural fit with the spirit of the brand. In Monster Time (GR121), Scharf makes an amusingly fierce animal out of the watch format, with bright lizard green lines trailing through the strap like tracks in the sand left by a snake. The dial, which barely contains the red-eyed visage of a toothy monster, is grasped by red plastic, and the hands rotate irreverently around the beast's grumpy face. The equally entertaining Fiz N' Zip (GN164) offers childlike whimsy with a wicked edge—grinning blue and yellow creatures.

What correlations are their between adult literacy and Ecological Footprint? Between population and energy use? The Trendalyzer tool, now available at the Global Footprint Network Web site, allows users to explore how various statistics relating to environmental impact (such as carbon emissions, energy use and Ecological Footprint), and quality of life (such as infant mortality, literacy, income and life expectancy) interact and inter-relate. Users are able to chose from dozens of publically-available data sets and chart how those factors relate to one another over time and geographic realms.
Trendalyzeris based on software created by the Gapminder Foundation, a non-profit promoting sustainable development by simplifying use and understanding of statistics about social, economic and environmental development at local, national and global levels. Gapminder was acquired by Google in March 2007. Global Footprint Network was one of the first NGOs to work with Gapminder, providing it with comprehensive Ecological Footprint data sets.
