  6. GeoRecovery.gov Team Contract reflects a major commitment of recovery.gov to geospatial capabilities Development and testing being done in a cloud computing environment Production will be on dedicated servers GeoRecovery.gov Team to: Provide information on available federal data services Identify federal experts to participate in Beta testing Help identify technical/use issues that need to be addressed Identify capabilities/data that will increase the site’s usability to the public, federal agencies, constituents Recovery.gov is being geo-enabled
