Presentation to: • NWAC/Region X RRT • November 18, 2010 Don Pettit, R.G. Emergency Response Planner Steven Jett GIS Coordinator Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
Incident Response: A Collaborative Effort … and numerous other federal, tribal and local governments… Office of Environmental Public Health
OR-IRIS is…Data Everything you want to see…and more!
OR-IRIS is… A platform for data visualization…
Portable and self-contained if you need… …connected for more info if able! OR-IRIS is…
DEQ Emergency Response Staff • 4 State On-Scene Coordinators • 1 Duty Officer +12 After-Hours Duty Officers (2 on duty) • 1 Emergency Response Planner • 1 Vessel/Facility Contingency Planner • 1 Emergency Response Unit Leader
What Is OR-IRIS? • Data layers organized into thematic groups… • Data layers pre-symbolized, scaled, and labeled to make data more useful… • Thematic groups organized to allow for analysis… • Organized within a Geodatabase that allows for easy update and distribution… • …on multiple viewing platforms based on user skill level, analytical needs, and access to web.
Current Layer Groups • Transportation/Infrastructure • People at Risk • Water Resources Protection • Potential Toxic Sources • Incident Notification Groups • Emergency Response Resources • Wildlife & Habitat • Natural Resources & Hazards • Public Health • Aerial Imagery & Maps • Mapping Base
Groups and Datasets • Data Sources • BLM, DEQ, ODOT, USFS, Fire Marshal, DHS, NRCS • …many, many more • Thematic groups 85datasets (now ~150) + 1 meter aerial imagery + USGS Topoquads + NOAA NavCharts • Final Size: ~90 gigabytes
Steps and Challenges • Time and Budget • Data layer acquisition • Data Creation • Data Integrity • Cartography • Size and Complexity
Acquisition and Manipulation • Datasets usable “as is” • Oregon Geospatial Clearinghouse • Datasets requiring minor manipulation • OSFM HSIS Data…Geocoding • Booming Strategies in Legacy Formats! • Datasets requiring major modification or integration with other sources • Airports • Fire Stations
Data Creation • River Miles • Tribal Notification Areas (Areas Defined by Tribes) • LEPCs
Integrity • Complications • 20 + Sources • Varying ages • Varying standards between agencies
Out-of-date sources You go to incidents with the data you have…not the data you wish you had. ~ D. Rumsfeld (Paraphrased)
Making It Work • “Emergency Response Cartography is not always pretty”
Cartographic Standards • Layer Organization
Symbology Labeling
Future Directions • Distribution within DEQ • Distribution to other agencies/governments • Updates/Data improvement (Stewardship) • Virtual USA Northwest Pilot • Launching point for updating Oregon GRPs • Places of Refuge Tool?
Sneak Peek Hazardous Materials Storage Sites and their relationship to HazMat Response Team Bases and Boundaries
LEPC Development • Where do we need them first? • Where do we need them most?
This has been a presentation of the Oregon Incident Response Information System Strong-Arm A Joint Venture between… DEQ Risk Vision! Emergency Response Team Low-Tech …and… Cartography Now with… Approved
