Using GIS Under Emergency Conditions The Worst: System Breakdown Loss of Power or Phone Lines No Internet Access, Cell Phones Overloaded Operation Center or Dispatch Center becomes Non-Functional Computer Breakdown Loss of Key Personnel Loss of Stored Data Communications Failures Loss of Use of Physical Facility Still Bad: Diminished Capacity Geographic Areas Lacking High Speed Internet Access Internet Slows Down as it becomes Overloaded Slow Operation Speeds of Interactive Internet Based GIS Slow Internet Downloads of Memory Intensive Geographic Information Inherent difference of Internet Speed vs. Computer Processing Speed “Expect the Worst and Prepare for It”

Making GIS Work in an Emergency In order to enhance GIS functionality in a Public Safety Emergency you need to: Build in Redundancy Maximize Speed In - Ambulance Mapping Lawrence County, Indiana
Principles for Building Redundancy and Speedinto a Public Safety GIS System Have in place a system of Data Stewardship Have in place a system for exchanging Sensitive Data. Have GIS applications and existing GIS data on resident computers with a means of Internet Data Exchange in Place. Have the capability of exchanging new information over the internet with the means to deliver it to users in their particular format and projection automatically. Be able to monitor and input real time GPS and AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) information and share this information with others. Use Web GIS for monitoring, and providing information to public officials and the general public. Create an overall Public Safety GIS that uses Resident Data, the Internet, and Web GIS each to their best advantage.

Data Exchange in Vigo County Region Using the WTH Universal Data Exchange NetworkUDX
Universal Data Exchange Network (UDX) • Allows data exchange between remote county and regional offices • Does not require interoffice network • Only requires an internet connection • Data Exchange is controlled by the Chart of Accountability
Chart of Accountability (COA) • Defines who or which office is accountable for each GIS data layer • Only the responsible office can change the data • COA is maintained by the county and administered by WTH through the Universal Data Exchange Network (UDX)
Typical COA • 911 Center • Addresses • Roads • Emergency Service Zones • Emergency Management • County Resources • Weather Sirens • Hazardous Material Sites • Courthouse • Parcels • Land Use • Soils
