1 GIS Activities of the State Emergency Response Team Richard Butgereit GIS Administrator

Some activities to cover… 1.Virtual USA 2.Geospatial Assessment Tool for Operations and Response – GATOR 3.KML for Google Earth 4.Incident Mapper

An information sharing initiative (not an application, nor a website) A “metasystem” – “a system about the systems” Florida State Emergency Response Team participates, creates new mapping website, KML network links, and GeoRSS feeds Virtual USA

USGS – –River Conditions/Forecasted Conditions Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service –Earthquakes/Hurricanes/Warnings/Radar Natural Hazard Support System External Data Sources

NWS – –Storm Reports Storm Prediction Center –Quantitative Prediction Forecast, Flooding Outlook Potential, Flash Flood Guidance National Weather Service GIS Portal External Data Sources

Doesn’t lock shapefiles or tables being served – meaning, to a point, you can replace files on server or network, and service is refreshed (couldn’t do this in ArcIMS). For point features, doesn’t need a shapefile – remember Display X,Y Data? Just add a table, create an event layer, publish the MXD, and you have a service. Advantages of ArcGIS Server

Make the Data Your Own Using Python, script is written to download file from FTP or website, extract or unzip (if needed), and placed on server or network drive. Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel run scripts at specified intervals. Service updates on-the- fly as underlying data is refreshed.

What is GeoRSS? –GeoRSS is an emerging standard for encoding location as part of an Web feed. (Web feeds are used to describe feeds ("channels") of content, such as news articles, Audio blogs, video blogs and text blog entries. These web feeds are rendered by programs such as aggregators and web browsers.) The name "GeoRSS" is derived from RSS, the most known Web feed and syndication format.Web feedAudio blogsvideo blogsblogweb feedsaggregatorsweb browsersRSSWeb feed –In GeoRSS, location content consists of geographical points, lines, and polygons of interest and related feature descriptions. GeoRSS feeds are designed to be consumed by geographic software such as map generators. By building these encodings on a common information model, the GeoRSS collaboration is promoting interoperability and "upwards-compatibility" across encodings. GeoRSS

Advantages – easy to create feeds – usable by a wide variety of application Flex Viewer Google Earth ArcGIS Explorer –may also be used with non-spatial readers GeoRSS
