Future Directions
Geospatial Preparedness Geospatail Preparedness Summary18 10/13/2006 Less Maps, More Location Based Transaction Processing? Massive transaction processing critical part of emergency response Individual Assistance Applications SBA Disaster Loans Commodity Management Support long term recovery, including HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs Many Others … All require various location inputs and attributes In or out of damage area Severity Link of address to parcel for ownership verification NFIP flood insurance mandatory purchase Can we automate these tasks to take out the need for map publishing and manual interpretation to reduce cost, improve time service to victims and increase quality? Individual Assistance Example
Geospatial Preparedness Geospatail Preparedness Summary19 10/13/2006 Substitute remote sensing for onsite inspection Verify address, parcel number and ownership through local data (parcel, tax, …) Benefits: *Save inspection costs *Improve time service
Geospatial Preparedness Geospatail Preparedness Summary20 10/13/2006 Migrate to Increased Reliance on State and Local Data Why – Often have best data for certain themes (parcel, infrastructure,...) Access to same data used locally Feds involved in only very small fraction of emergency response events – we need to work with the same data locals use day to day Issues Many Information Sharing Agreements … Getting there … DHS Grant Programs Geospatial grant guidance has been published State and Local Fusion Centers Project Homeland (NGA) FY2007 USGS Liaison Programs Build on FY2006 imagery program success NSGIC, other initiatives
