  1. Environmental Response Management Application Amy Merten, Michele Jacobi, John Whitney and Nancy Kinner October 28, 2008

  2. Acknowledgments • Portsmouth Harbor area local and regional response community. • Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC) facilitated and funded the development of ERMA. • Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET) provided funding. • Development by: • NOAA Office of Response and Restoration • UNH Earth Systems Data Collaborative • UNH-NOAA Joint Hydrographic Center • UNH Research Computing

  3. Outline • Overview background and design process • Discuss of how web-based GIS technology can assist in a environmental response effort and operations • Highlight examples of the ERMA’s capabilities

  4. Coastal Response Research Center • Partnership between NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and University of New Hampshire • Mission: • Develop new approaches to spill response and restoration through research/synthesis of information • ERMA Sites: • Operational in Portsmouth NH • Planned in Caribbean (EPA Region 2) • Discussions with Arctic Community

  5. Continuum of “Response” for the OR&R Emergency Response Division (ERD) Restoration - Recovery (Years to Decades) Response (24 hours) Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD)

  6. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words… • Diverse datasets can be interlaced on a single map to better visualize a the complex nature of an area

  7. Why use a web based GIS platform during a Response? • Integrate and synthesize various types of information • Provide fast visualization of current information • Improve communication and coordination among responders and stakeholders • Provide resource managers with the information they need to make better informed decisions

  8. Functional Web GIS Platform for Response • Package data in a well-designed management, visualization, and analysis tool: • Easily accessible - field and command • User friendly • Quick to display • Capable of real-time data display • Simple to update/ download from • Secure
