September 1996 FASU WebSite Updated http://www.fasu.org The Association's site on the Internet has been further refined and updated. It is best accessed with Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer, although other browsers and services such as AOL and CompuServe also work. Information currently available at the site is described below. Bulletin Board FASU members can post messages or submit requests for information to the entire membership. Questions on any subject matter can be posted. By "attaching" electronic files, a response can range from from one to hundreds of pages and can be transmitted instantaneously. Ordinances Through a link to Municipal Code Corporation, many stormwater ordinances are available, including those concerning stormwater utilities, and those on stormwater permits and related development regulations. You can search other jurisdictions' codes so that "reinventing the wheel" will not be as necessary when undertaking a new project. Ordinances currently on the FASU site include those from:
Tropical Weather Information Continuously updated advisory reports (including satellite maps) from FEMA, NOAA, and other agencies keep you informed on major storm events impacting the Southeast US and the Caribbean. Links Links available through the FASU site make gaining access to other information fast and easy. Organizations whose WebSites are currently linked to FASU's include:
As the site is further developed, other links will be added. We'd especially like to include other stormwater departments. Please let us know if your city or county has a site, or if you have ideas for other links to be added. Utility Survey The 1995 Survey of Stormwater Utilities in Florida is posted and can be downloaded. FASU's frequently updated listing of current Stormwater Utility Rates and ERU sizes is also available. FASU Membership Directory A Directory of all current members and the contact's name, address, and phone/FAX numbers are on the Site. After the January (annual) publication of the Membership Directory, membership updates will be noted only on the WebSite. Newsletters Articles from previous editions of the Stormwater FACTSHEET are posted by month and year of publication. Password Most features of the site are password protected. A limited "tour" is available without having access to the password. If you're a FASU member and have forgotten the password, contact Kurt Spitzer at 904/561-0904 or e-mail to kspitzer@fasu.org. Your comments and ideas regarding the site are critical to its success and are greatly appreciated! Please contact your Association with any suggested improvements. |
