  1. CityGML+ARML Workshop Discussion 11 Hurricane Sandy Redux Alex Karman, CTO Revolutionary Machines, Inc.

  2. Hurricane Sandy Facts • Made landfall at Brigantine, NJ as a Category 2 hurricane on 10/29/2012 • Geologists confirm that Category 5 hurricanes hit New York/New Jersey every 100 years • Was the largest diameter Atlantic hurricane on Record, 1,110 miles • Caused $68 B in damage ($65B in US)

  3. Deaths • 286 deaths • 72 deaths in US in 8 States • 48 in New York • 12 in New Jersey • 5 in Connecticut • 2 in Pennsylvania • 2 in Virginia • 1 each in New Hampshire, West Virginia and Maryland

  4. Extensive and Long-Lasting Disruptions • Over two million people in the New York metropolitan area lost power • Wall Street closed for two days, the first time since the Great Blizzard of 1888 • Streets, tunnels, bridges and subway lines were closed • Over 1000 school districts closed • Almost 20,000 cancelled flights

  5. Manhattan Flooding (Wikipedia) • The east river overflowed its banks, flooding large sections of Lower Manhattan. Battery Park had a water surge of 13.88 ft. [244] • Seven subway tunnels under the East River were flooded. [245] • The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said that the destruction caused by the storm was the worst disaster in the 108-year history of the New York City Subway system. [246] • Sea water flooded the Ground Zero construction site. [247] • Over 10 billion gallons of raw and partially treated sewage were released by the storm, 94% of which went into waters in and around New York and New Jersey. [248] • In addition, a four story Chelsea building’s façade crumbled and collapsed, leaving the interior on full display; however, no one was hurt by the falling masonry. [249]

  6. Response • Over 1,500 FEMA personnel deployed • Over 4,000 Red Cross personnel deployed

  7. How Could CityGML+ARMLImprove Capabilities? • Mitigation • Pre-storm preparation • Storm monitoring and situational awareness • Post storm support • Cleanup • Insurance • Reconstruction and recovery • After-action assessment, improvement, training and exercises

  8. Some Specific Ideas • Models of buildings to show where storm surge would hit hardest • Egress routes as the storm headed up the coast • Prepositioning of needed supplies and ingress routes • Coordination of hospitals and medical equipment, pre storm • Alternate uses of public facilities • Post storm safe locations • Identification of response team leaders and contact info • Identification of generator locations • Sensor locations for detecting rising water rates, water flows • Post storm insurance support using current building models • Planning and layout for post storm reconstruction • Prepositioning of video cameras to monitor storm impacts

  9. Discussion? • What uses can you propose for this technology? • What kind of data sets would you semantically link to CityGML? Why? Who would use them and how? • What kind of Augmented Reality applications would you develop? Why? Who would use them and how?
