  1. Massachusetts Maritime Academy FEMA Higher Education Conference June 2010 GIS in Emergency Management

  2. Massachusetts Maritime Academy • Founded in 1890 • One of nine Massachusetts State Colleges • Originally for education of merchant mariners • Marine Engineering • Marine Transportation • Expanded programs into • Marine Environmental Protection • Facilities Engineering • Emergency Management • International Maritime Business • Technical Educational Programs • Regimental Life Style MMA Emergency Management

  3. Emergency Management courses using Geographical Information Systems • Every student will select a town in Massachusetts and build on data struvture for that town and a surrounding 10 mile buffer in the following courses • Introduction to GIS • Risk Management • Natural Hazards • Emergency Management Operations • Information Technology in Emergency Management • The data structure will be used to simulate emergency situations throughout the program MMA Emergency Management

  4. Introduction to GIS • ArcGIS • Minimum Essential Data Set (MEDS) map • Town Base Map (projected and geographic coordinates) • Town Boundary (selected from the state town map) • Roadway Data • Emergency Response Sites • Population ( blocks and 3 types of block group) • USGS GNIS Infrastructure • Aerial Photographs • Hillshaded Digital Elevation Maps MMA Emergency Management

  5. Newburyport Massachusetts Flood Zones Spanish speaking Income less than $10000 Aerial Photograph Flood Data County Hillshade Introduction to GIS Maps MMA Emergency Management

  6. Risk Management • ALOHA • Creating a chemical plume • Simulating a transportation incident • Varying meteorological conditions • Linking the plume to the ArcGIS MEDS Base Map • Investigate Population effected • Investigate Road Closures MMA Emergency Management
