IGIC 2012 Conference Topics: IDHS role during response. Incident command. Recovery. Life Cycle of IDHS GIS in March Tornados Roger Koelpin GIS / CIKR Planning Chief Planning and Assessment Branch

IDHS role during response When Local and District response is overwhelmed – Manage, administer response Coordinate local, county, district, state and federal resources Broker resources between jurisdictions – Are the conduit to feds for recovery assistance request

Incident Command During Response, and Transition to Recovery Organizational structure for incident management. – IDHS supports on-scene management, does NOT displace local authority – IDHS collects requests and farms them out to Emergency Support Function seats in emergency operations center, or pushes the requests up to the feds

Incident command Chain of events – On-scene management (Incident Command Post) collects requests, meets them locally OR – Forwards to County. County fills request OR – Forwards to District. District fills request OR – Forwards to IDHS. Requests may be sent to either An Emergency Support Function “desk” in the EOC Field Operations Leader in EOC Logistics in EOC OR –Forwards to Feds… –Must honor non-trivial paperwork throughout!

Recovery Federal Disaster Declarations – Must meet both state AND county loss thresholds Loss estimates tabulated within 72 hours of incident Thresholds are about $1.29 per capita statewide (~ $8.4 M statewide ) AND $3.23 per capita in a county i.e. CountyPopulationThreshold Ohio6,128$19,793 Clark110,232$356,049 Lake496,005$1,602,096

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 3, 3:00PM Had a reliable track

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS Reliable Track From Brian Crumpler VDEM GIS Program Manager (Office) (Blackberry) Using: Download Link  Java based desktop application that can view NWS radar data.  Annotate and create user-defined points to export to ESRI shapefiles  Export animations of the radar data

“Hook Echo” visible on “Reflectivity” product A ball at the end of the hook is often called a “debris ball”

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 5 Planning With Field Staff Snapshot of needed tiles sent by phone.

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 6 Reaching to FEMA National Grid Tiles made request “portable” and gives field staff a predictable product.

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 7 FEMA GIS Saves the day!

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS March 9 Had completed transition to Recovery FEMA in town IDHS EOC reduced staffing to management only.

Life Cycle of IDHS GIS FEMA will present next about their roles during the recovery Ms. Kent Haire, Clark Co Assessor will describe coping with the aftermath

FEMA GIS During Response and Recovery What we do, When and Why we do it, How and for Whom

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
