U.S. Census Bureau

Linda M. FranzAssistant Division Chief for Geographic Partnership Programs



MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project (MTAIP) production began

Field work for the address pilot in North Carolina was completed

250 counties enhanced/realigned by 9/30/03 The TIGER Enhancement Database (TED) was

enhanced/deployed Conducted pilot test for WebBAS and Web TIGER http://www.census.gov/geo/www/bas/bashome.html


What are the highlight achievements during the last six months? (cont’d)

Total number of counties in universe: 3233 Total number of counties for which GIS files

are in house: 1038 Total local files Tested: 777 Counties

390 Pass at CE95 of 7.60 meters or less

387 Fail at CE95 7.61 meters or greater



Provide Harris with 350 local county files for MTAIP production in FY 04

Harris will align 250 additional counties using commercial GIS or field GPS centerline data collection methods

Identify all potential GIS files (tribal areas, partial counties, cities, towns, MCDs) that meet the 7.6 meter accuracy requirement that may be used for MTAIP

Begin defining requirements for expanded Web capabilities



• Census will provide USGS the corrected TIGER road centerline files to incorporate into the National Map

• Census already has provided the TED to the USGS and NIMA. A new extract will be provided to USGS, NIMA, and NOAA.

• The Harris fiscal year 2004 production schedule will be available through the FGDC website


What is the role of states in Census programs?

Inform the Census Bureau of what data exist or will exist for their state

Provide information on how Census work and schedules can fit with state initiatives

Review the TED and inform Census of errors and irregularities in the data reported

Review and provide comments on Census documents and plans that impact the states



States can inform Census of counties where no suitable spatial data exist and there are no plans to create road centerlines—Harris can plan to create an accurate road centerline without concern of overlap or duplication

homeland security / emergency management needs. Partnership presence established or enhanced in AR,

AZ, CA, DE, HI, ID, KS, LA, MT, TX, UT, WA. Cost-benefits analysis for The National Map.

The National Map: High-resolution Imagery

Status – 133 Urban Areas

Orthoimagery collected (46 cities)Planned or in work

The National Map: Cost-Benefits Analysis



Incorporate State requirements and pilot project “lessons learned” into The National Map planning.

Formalize MOUs with NSGIC, NACo, other groups. Leverage grant opportunities of The National Map,

FGDC, and Geospatial One-Stop. Consolidate theme-based portals into an enhanced,

multi-service Web viewer. Effect moves / staff transfers to AL, GA, New England,

MI, PA, and SC.

The National Map Web Viewer

http://nationalmap.usgs.gov

Enhanced viewer will:

Provide a single, multi-service Web viewer.

Integrate content from diverse data sources.

Manage the network of partner data and Web services.

Facilitate data viewing and downloading.

Allow user to generate graphics from the data.



Standards and data access (FGDC, Geospatial One-Stop).

High-resolution imagery and critical infrastructure data (NIMA, DHS, NORTHCOM).

Roads and boundary data (Census, DOT). Orthoimagery (USDA, BLM, EPA, FEMA). Hydrography (EPA, USFS). Elevation (NDEP) data (BLM, COE, FEMA, NOAA,

NRCS, NIMA, NASA, USFS). Land cover (NOAA, EPA, USFS, NASA).


What is the role of States in your program?

Key source for requirements for The National Map. Partners to help build and maintain The National Map. Linkage between Federal agencies and local

government for coordination. Linkage with state legislatures and policy / program

executives for GIS activities and data partnerships.


How can States benefit from your program?

Access to seamless imagery, vector, and thematic data in the public domain.

Access to diverse geospatial data sources through links to partner Web services.

Leverage limited State resources with Federal investments in geospatial data.

Partnership opportunities for technical development, data integration, and applications research.

2nd Western Governors Cadastral Forum Meeting with Eastern Cadastral Steering

Committee and Cadastral Subcommittee Draft Geospatial One Stop Standard Updated the Cadastral Data Content Standard Core data projects and partnerships with states

and local governments and Tribes Web inventory of cadastral sites



Work with states to publish and implement WGA Forum results Cadastral Subcommittee Meeting with Western Cadastral

Steering Committee Eastern Cadastral Forum Finish Geospatial One Stop tasks Add assessment and address components to Cadastral Data

Content Standard Continue to develop and expand all partnerships Continue to provide web inventory of cadastral data Utah study on the benefits of cadastral information Florida study with MMS and CSC on marine boundary issues Continue to integrate state and local and Tribal data with GCDB



At the Field Level – coordination on the actual work

At a higher level - coordination through the Cadastral Subcommittee



This is a partnership for Cadastral Information



States and local agencies and Tribes need to determine the benefits they can achieve and we will continue to work with them through partnerships to mutually achieve benefits

FEMA/DHSFlood Map Modernization

Scott McAfeeGIS CoordinatorMitigation Division



Funding for Map Mod Selection Process for new National Service

Provider First DFIRMs available from the Map Service

Center



Award of contract for NSP Implementation of 90 day Geospatial Platform Ramping up flood map production Geospatial Data Collection Policy HAZUS-MH Standard Map Symbols for Emergency Management 1 Million Hits on Hazardmaps.gov



Internal to FEMA/DHS– DHS CIO’s Office– Preparedness and Response

External to DHS– Geospatial One Stop / National Map– National Digital Elevation Program– FGDC– Direct coordination with other agencies such as Census


Map Mod Goals for interacting with States on data activities: States are only contacted once for specific databases Federal agencies that collect State and local data will

publish metatdata on the clearinghouse/GOS if it is not already published.

States are informed of data collection activities and determine what their role should be. (In Map Mod, this could be their part of the state plan.



Partnerships with State/Local government to:– Enable State and Local government to manage their flood

hazard data Data Coordination / Collection

– State geospatial staff should coordinate with NFIP Coordinator on State Plans

– Coordinate/standardize local data if able– Base data (DOQ, Streets, Hydrography, Boundaries)– Elevation Data

Data Services



Generally– Reduced losses to life and property– More accurate maps for

Floodplain management Flood Insurance

– Geospatial system for flood and other hazards For Partners

– Hazard identification training and technical assistance– Greater ownership and control of hazard data and floodplain

management

Providing Access to transportation geodata



Continue GOS Develop assistance for implementing GOS standards Modifications to standards, if necessary Identify and work with organizations to implement standards and

share data through the portal

Additional data development Acquire geographic reference for tunnel data (collected thru FHWA)

Engage others within USDOT Work with DOT CIO to garner additional support for geospatial

Information technologies



We are working to improve interaction and coordination internally and with others

All public domain data available through geodata.gov and the BTS web site

Provide data for the National Map / Atlas FHWA interacts with other Federal Road

Programs – USDA FS, NPS



State DOTs primary data provider for modal administrations

FHWA helps to fund State Departments of Transportation through its legislation



We will continue to work with transportation agencies to develop or improve data for public domain access

We will develop procedures related to implementing standards developed through the GOS process

We will make national transportation data available using the GOS standard
