How is GIS used in Emergencies?
GIS supports the information needs for:
Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Prevention/ Mitigation
Emergency Response & Contingency Planning
Emergency Response Operations
Emergency/Disaster Recovery
How is GIS used in Emergencies?
GIS provides the tools to:
Document the current status of an incident (situational awareness)
Share a vision of the situation (common operational picture)
Forecast or plan for change in status during during an incident (model, trajectory, etc.)
Predict/document impacts on known resources
Develop plans and assist in executing response operations
Emergencies come in all shapes and sizes…
…as do responses.
Emerging Risks…
New products being imported into and out of Oregon
Not Emerging Risks…
What data do we need?
Are 150 data layers enough?
Are 500 data layers too much?
What kind of data do we need? Authoritative Data
How will we deliver the data?
What is Authoritative Data?
Rational Authority. Government agencies areby default the “authoritative” sources for data orservices that they produce, or have a statutoryresponsibility for.
Expert Authority. Scientifically authoritativedata is defined in the realm of the variousprofessions under which the standards andmethodology for data are created.
The owner or authoritative source of any geospatial data is responsible for
defining the business rules for the access and sharing of that information across the stakeholder community.
From: DHS Geospatial CONOPS
What if we don’t have Authoritative Data?
As you know, you go to an emergency with the data you have, not the data you might want or wish to have at a later time. ~Donald Rumsfeld
We can develop most, but not all, needed data ahead of an incident or an emergency.
It is much easier to gather authoritative data before an incident, than during an incident…allowing more time for analysis of data.
There will always be a need to develop data during and incident.
In Short…Emergency GIS must:
Provide the best available data…
…when it is needed…
…where it is needed…
…to who it is needed…
…in an appropriate way.

Spill Response Mapping…A Brief History
How to get to double eleven!
We need common data structure development to facilitate integration.
We need to standardize attributes, symbology, and labeling schemes for different types of products.
We need to integrate more live data (flood gages, incident locations)
We need to create map templates and viewers for common incident response types.
We need to get better at live mapping in the EOCs.
We need to continue to develop a path toward data stewardship.GIS in Action 2013
