  1. Emergency Management (EM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Sophi Beym, Dine Emergency Manager, Bishop Paiute Tribe State Hazard Mitigation Officer, New Mexico

  2. Four phases of Emergency Management

  3. Visualize Vulnerablity • Facts • All hazards have an associated set of impact-causing conditions • Impact-causing conditions cause an unacceptable threat to life and property • Not all threats to life and property are termed unacceptable because people must accept some risk for living where they do

  4. Bishop Paiute Tribe is one of five Tribes in the Inyo County, California.

  5. Create awareness of risk Examples of GIS in EM • Dam Inundation Analysis • Chemical Risk Analysis • Gas Station • Residential propane • Simple evacuation routes • Tribal building fire drills • Analysis of soil sampling to detect possible contaminants

  6. Dam Inundation

  7. Maps for First Responders • Maps can show locations • Special Needs • Elders • Families with small children • Other tools related to this • Reverse 911 system • Rural Addressing

  8. Location • Resources • Equipment, people, vendors • Shelter locations • Mapping allows a community to establish Short term / Long-term locations AWAY from known hazards • Evacuation routes • Mapping allows a community to develop routes AWAY from known hazards BEFORE an incident

  9. Conclusion • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become user friendly • Used with EM concepts it can support life and property safety • ArcMap is available to Tribes free of charge • Training is available to Tribes without charge • Programs at Tribal colleges promote and teach GIS
