IGIC 2012 Conference

2. IGIC 2012 Conference • Topics: • IDHS role during response. • Incident command. • Recovery. • Life Cycle of IDHS GIS in March Tornados Roger Koelpin GIS / CIKR Planning Chief Planning and Assessment Branch rkoelpin@dhs.in.gov 317-232-0181

3. IDHS role during response • When Local and District response is overwhelmed • Manage, administer response • Coordinate local, county, district, state and federal resources • Broker resources between jurisdictions • Are the conduit to feds for recovery assistance request

4. Incident CommandDuring Response, and Transition to Recovery • Organizational structure for incident management. • IDHS supports on-scene management, does NOT displace local authority • IDHS collects requests and farms them out to Emergency Support Function seats in emergency operations center, or pushes the requests up to the feds http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/IncidentCommandSystem.shtm

5. Incident command • Chain of events • On-scene management (Incident Command Post) collects requests, meets them locally OR • Forwards to County. County fills request OR • Forwards to District. District fills request OR • Forwards to IDHS. Requests may be sent to either • An Emergency Support Function “desk” in the EOC • Field Operations Leader in EOC • Logistics in EOC • OR • Forwards to Feds… • Must honor non-trivial paperwork throughout!

6. Recovery • Federal Disaster Declarations • Must meet both state AND county loss thresholds • Loss estimates tabulated within 72 hours of incident • Thresholds are about $1.29 per capita statewide (~ $8.4 M statewide ) AND $3.23 per capita in a county i.e. • http://training.fema.gov/emiweb/is/IS208A/05_SDM_Unit_04_508.pdf • http://www.fema.gov/pdf/rrr/dec_proc.pdf

7. Recovery • Preliminary Damage Assessments (individual assistance) • For citizens (72hr window) • https://eoc.in.gov/eoc7/idhs-apps/damage-assessment/ • Public Assistance • Public sector • http://www.in.gov/dhs/3679.htm • Other resources • Disaster recovery website • http://www.in.gov/gov/disasterrecovery.htm

8. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 2, 5:00PM Not much information

9. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 3, 3:00PM Had a reliable track

10. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS • Java based desktop application that can view NWS radar data. • Annotate and create user-defined points to export to ESRI shapefiles • Export animations of the radar data Reliable Track From Brian Crumpler VDEM GIS Program Manager brian.crumpler@vdem.virginia.gov 804-897-9791 (Office) 804-484-4199 (Blackberry) Using: Download Link - http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/wct/install.php

11. “Hook Echo” visible on “Reflectivity” product A ball at the end of the hook is often called a “debris ball”

12. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 5 NWS Finalizes Track http://www.crh.noaa.gov/Image/lmk/03022012_EF4.htm

13. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 5 Assessments Underway National Grid Is here to stay.

14. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 5 Planning With Field Staff Snapshot of needed tiles sent by phone.

15. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 6 Reaching to FEMA National Grid Tiles made request “portable” and gives field staff a predictable product.

16. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 7 FEMA GIS Saves the day!

17. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 9 Had completed transition to Recovery FEMA in town IDHS EOC reduced staffing to management only.

18. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS FEMA will present next about their roles during the recovery Ms. Kent Haire, Clark Co Assessor will describe coping with the aftermath

19. IGIC 2012 Conference • Topics: • IDHS role during response. • Incident command. • Recovery. • Life Cycle of IDHS GIS in March Tornados. Roger Koelpin GIS / CIKR Planning Chief Planning and Assessment Branch rkoelpin@dhs.in.gov 317-232-0181

20. FEMA GISDuring Response and Recovery What we do, When and Why we do it, How and for Whom

21. FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work togetherto build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

22. “Don’t plan for easy, plan for the real.” Craig Fugate, FEMA Administrator • Be prepared means moving beyond government centric • Learn to leverage entire community resources

23. Disaster Declaration Process Incident FEMA-State PDA Governor’s Request FEMA Recommendation Presidential Decision

24. FEMA GIS • Provide geospatial analytics through the Mapping and Analysis Center (MAC) and • deployable GIS technology through the Deployable Emergency GIS program (DEGS) • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • Exercises

25. FEMA GIS Personnel • PFT • CORE • DAE

29. Henryville, IN Jr/Sr High School

31. ENTER GIS

32. Data Sources for FEMA GIS • HSIP • SMUSA\EsriBasemaps et al • Indiana Map • TeleAtlas • NavTech • USGS • NWS • Region 5 FEMA • USACE • CAP • Published Maps

33. Who Produces What? • RRCC

34. IOF

37. In Conclusion: • FEMA comes at the invitation of the State or Tribal Nation • GIS helps decision makers with accurate, timely, and pertinent displayed spatial information so they might • make better decisions • plus
