From the document: "Community planning is successful when there is extensive citizen involvement and participation throughout the process. However, many community planning tools and resources are either inaccessible or too technical for many stakeholders. [...] Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension developed Community Health and Resource Management (CHARM), a user-friendly interactive mapping tool, to: [1] Support meaningful scenario planning informed by local knowledge. [2] Make planning more accessible and effective by reducing barriers for non-technical audiences. [3] Allow local decision makers to focus on dialogue and collaboration instead of data management and technology. Leveraging a library of mapping data, including FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and non-regulatory flood risk products, CHARM facilitates long-term planning discussions with community decision makers. During workshops, facilitators and Geographic Information System (GIS) experts work with community decision makers to help identify and solve problems in their communities using weTable, a do-it-yourself interactive mapping platform. Pulling together data from local, state and federal sources, the CHARM mapping platform transforms an ordinary tabletop into an interactive computer interface that allows stakeholders to explore and overlap different datasets. Hypothetical land development styles can be applied to the tabletop display to explore the outcomes of various planning decisions in real time. To compare the outcomes of different hypothetical scenarios, CHARM tracks over 250 indicators that signal changes and related impacts on a community, including effects on natural habitats, resources, and critical facilities. Easy-to-read charts and graphs are generated to illustrate these potential changes."
