Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District participate in community outreach events throughout the district. Pictured here is an outreach event for GIS Day 2012 at Savannah State University. GIS stands for geographic information system, which is used by geographers to capture, analyze and manage all types of geographical data. GIS day is organized by area professionals to introduce GIS to local students and promote the capabilities and use of GIS to the community.
