Untitled-2.png Back Home Again in Indiana Development and Stewardship of Statewide HAZUS-MH Essential Facilities Data for the IndianaMapand the National Map Data Management Phil Worrall Executive Director Indiana Geographic Information Council Laura Danielson Project Coordinator The Polis Center http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Indiana's USGS Partnership Pilot Project for HAZUS Essential Facilities Maintenance Essential facilities include: •Hospitals •Nursing homes •Schools •Fire Stations •Police Stations •Emergency Operation Centers http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Indiana's USGS Partnership Pilot Project Overview Collection, Migration, Stewardship, and Maintenance of Essential Facilities for the IndianaMapand The National Map •Collect local-resolution (County) HAZUS Essential Facilities data for all 92 Indiana Counties developed as part of DMA 2000 disaster mitigation planning activities. •Publish these data to the IndianaMapand National Map •Develop a Stewardship and Maintenance process for the HAZUS Essential Facilities •Prototype Maintenance with 4 County GIS Departments & Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) •Benton, Davies, Madison, and Noble http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Indiana's USGS Partnership Pilot Project Overview Current federal and state government sources of structure data on the IndianaMap: •4 HSIP Freedom layers from IDHS •HAZUS data from FEMA •Indiana Department of Health facilities •Indiana Department of Education facilities •USGS GNIS Name Structures (all out-of-date and inaccurate) We will demonstrate a local data stewardship and maintenance solution to bring common HAZUS, HSIP, GNIS, and State Agency data together in a workable enterprise-wide data model. http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Architecture IndianaMap HAZUS County GDBs for analysis Local Data Stewards Adobe Flex & Google Map User Interface ServicesWMS / WFS View Master Essential Facilities SQL Database http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Download (.shp) Stewards End Users National Stewards USGS TNM & GNIS National StewardsHSIP & Other Programs IDOH, HSIP & HAZUS Layers Currently Available on the IndianaMap From the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (Layers developed for IDHS by TechniGraphics, Inc.) Hospitals, Care Facilities, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Stations http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg HSIP, HAZUS, IDOH, GNIS(Typical Problem -One-hospital complex with several different locations, classifications, and name) H H H Current Data Collection Process •Display plot with locations of essential facilities and distribute Excel spreadsheets with HAZUS feature classes •Request local feedback Issues: •Paperwork is cumbersome •Exchange leaves room for error New Data Collection Pilot Project •The team will work with 4 counties in this pilot project –Benton and Daviess counties for first MHMPs –Noble and Madison counties for MHMP updates http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg New Data Collection Pilot Project •Rural counties have limited GIS capacity and typically only have parcel data and E911 addresses (GIS data for critical facilities) •Flash EF tool makes updating simple and efficient –Add or delete facilities –Improve facility data Picture from Benton County meeting http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Flash EF Update Example: Benton County User needs to update the location of Boswell Elementary School http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Flash EF Update Example: Benton County •Manually move point to new location Video of location move in FlexEF http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Flash EF Update Example: Benton County •Improve data with local input Local Feedback At this point, we have trained local officials in Benton and Daviess counties to update essential facilities using the tool •Users found the tool intuitive and easy to use •Users like the feature that allows them to manually move a point to a new location •Users would like to see different icons for different feature classes Picture from Daviess County meeting http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Next Steps •Continue to train local officials to use tool •Continue to update data in 4 pilot counties •Document successes, challenges, and lessons learned http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Pros of our Approach •Single source for the same data ends confusion, duplication of effort, and saves money •Geographic location & currency of data is improved •Local steward is the authoritative source •Updates can be easily made by any/all partners as changes take place or errors are found •Application can also lend itself to crowd- sourced feedback and updates http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg Challenges to our Approach •Disparate application data models and domains need to be coordinated, consolidated, and redesigned into a unified model •Need to determine the local steward responsible for making updates (not always the EMA director) •Need to develop a common database design, e.g. common definition for schools •Managing agency (uber-steward) must be established, e.g. DHS, USGS, others http://www.nsgic.org/states/images/indiana.jpg REMEMBER: The best available data is Local Authoritative Data!!!!!!!!
