2. Common Interest?

3. Topics • Background • What is field data collection at IDHS? • Technologies used • IA damage assessment process • Assessment aids • Role-based access • Assessments available • WebEOC analyses • Next steps

4. Background • Data collection • Individual Assistance damage assessments are one of several data collection needs • Process(es) almost ad-hoc with many partners • Must cross jurisdictions & levels of government. • Must cross public & private sectors • Must inform common operating picture • Lots of customers for this data set • Customers vary by event • Most (All?) customers engaged through COP

5. What is field data collection at IDHS? • It is a framework that provides • Defensible, repeatable observations • Multi-agency and jurisdiction standardization and cooperation • Progress monitoring and reporting • Change management and process improvement • Incident Command System (ICS) • Homeland Security Exercise & Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

6. Technologies used. • FEMA instance of AGOL • Downloadable “maps” • Enabling disconnected editing, sync • County parcel and tax data (thanks to all) • In-house data hosting and DR • Cross platform integration with WebEOC • Free mobile app for field use • iOS, Android, Win 10

7. IA damage assessment process • Determine the extent of the problem • Where • Determine how bad a problem • What • Decision; If bad enough – then • Governor requests a federal declaration Unless Jim Cantore is already there.

8. IA damage assessment process • Start with local determination of extent • Edit affected area in flex viewer • Add affected points in Recon maps, available pre incident • Create a new “incident” in WebEOC if assessments needed • Publish parcel points, start tracking in WebEOC • GIS edits from field sent to WebEOC for tracking and reporting.

9. Incident required by WebEOC.

10. Convert possibly affected parcels to points for download.

11. We can adapt attributes to be collected at each point:

12. Why we provide parcel points. Two devices tested. Saw difficulty possibly from multi-path (peg legs) due to the roof of the big box retail site. Error of 500+ to 1000+ meters observed. Of 27 measurements, got to a precision of +/- 10m with a confidence of 1 sigma (~95%).

13. Assessment aids. • Where? Flex viewer for damage extents • What? Damage classes. • https://gis.dhs.in.gov/daclasses.html

14. Role-based access • Viewer deployed by group in WebEOC (Communications Group, Viewer - ESF) • Services in viewer secured by position • AT&T, VZ, Sprint users assigned POSITIONS; can view their stuff not the competition’s

15. Assessments available

16. WebEOC Analyses – report, track progress.

17. WebEOC analyses – quality control

18. WebEOC analyses – quality control.

19. Next steps. • Training for local damage assessment teams. • Move from FEMA AGOL to in-house, leverage WebEOC security store. • Developing joint assessment protocols across CUSEC states • Further develop tools for PA, HPAI, EQ etc.
