  2. Using GIS for Business Continuity Agenda • The history of GIS at Lehman Brothers • 2005 Transit Strike • Hurricane Rita • Current uses • 2007 Wildfires • Future Plans • Automation • Integration 1

  3. Using GIS for Business Continuity The origins of GIS use in BCP at Lehman Brothers • The impending NYC transit strike in 2005 • Do we have the software? • Do we have the data? • Do we have the skill? 2

  7. Using GIS for Business Continuity • Management “bought into” the use of maps as they relate to incident response. • MapPoint Issues • Poor handling of real-time data • PC – based • Clumsy • Requirements for a new tool • More features and functionality • Smooth integration with existing corporate databases • Data to be kept on server-class equipment • Web integration required 6

  8. Using GIS for Business Continuity Additional GIS Projects • Hurricane Rita, 2005 • ~US$11.3 B in damage 1 • 4th most intense Atlantic hurricane ever observed 2 • Our response process became more pro-active • Mapped all staff and shelters • Comparison to flood plain map (but not overlaid) • Contacted staff before the storm. 1 – Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Rita 2 – Ibid. 7

  12. Using GIS for Business Continuity • As we become more sophisticated in our incident response process, we need to become more sophisticated in the use of map data. This drives the following additional requirements: • Layering of public data • Automated data analysis • Ability to update data points over the course of the incident 11

  14. Using GIS for Business Continuity • Based on all of our experience thus far with GIS, we have set some goals for how our “ultimate” GIS would be architected: • Dynamic feeds of data (employees, real estate) from authoritative Lehman systems. • Layers of public data related to: • Emergency services (police, fire, hospitals) • Physical risk factors (fault lines, flood plains) • Real-time updates (fire locations, post office closings, evacuation shelters • Interfaces to BCP tools such as our planning software and notification tool. • Interfaces to external incident reporting sources. • Web-based, using APIs to integrate into our existing Intranet portal. • Business-specific “self-service” web page to report on employee status during incidents. 13
