although the ccAustralia office may have been impacted by the recent
flooding in Brisbane <http://creativecommons.org.au/weblog/entry/2456>, some
good news has come out of the crisis; geospatial data, specifically digital
elevation models or DEMs, were imperative to the creation of accurate flood
models and for overcoming many operational challenges. geoscience
australia<http://www.ga.qov.au/>
‘s DEM web portal<http://www.ga.gov.au/topographic-mapping/digital-elevation-data.html>
consolidates geospatial data from dozens of different agencies. more
importantly, the data is released under a creative commons attribution
licence.
