Florida Adopts the USNG USNG was officially adopted by the FFCA FDEM to adopt the USNG in the States CEMP Updates of GIS/Maps in the 11 Regional Evacuation Studies will include USNG grids Florida Fire College, Florida Fire Chiefs Association, Fl National Guard have developed curriculum and instructor manuals FFC will be incorporating an intro module in the Firefighter II curriculum

16R GU How to read USNG 100,000 Meter Grid – identification for regional areas Grid Coordinates – Easting and Northing position Grid Zone Designation – for a world-wide unique address, identifies the longitude zone number and the latitude band letter

Truncate for less precision… Locates within 1000 meters Locates within 10 meters Locates within 100 meters Locates within 1 meter 16R GU

16R17R Truncate for locality just like you don’t have to dial an area code to make a local call… all Florida locations will be 16R or 17R

Critical Facilities Inventory A Statewide Geodatabase of Structures and Facilities

What is a Critical Facility? Critical Facility - structures from which essential services and functions for victim survival, continuation of public safety actions, and disaster recovery are performed or provided.

Examples of Critical Facilities Shelters Emergency Operation Centers Law Enforcement Public Health Facilities Public Drinking Water Sewer and Wastewater Facilities

13 feature classes are spread across 4 feature datasets, representing emergency management branches – Emergency Services – Human Services – Operations Branch – Infrastructure Branch

How can we plan to minimize damage and loss of life to prevent natural hazards from becoming natural disasters? HAZUS – a planning application

It is a planning tool, NOT an engineering tool  Engineering-level data (i.e. Hydrology & Hydraulic studies for Flood modeling) can be input to increase accuracy, but results still produce planning-level estimations It estimates physical damage & economic losses It assesses population needs related to emergency management It allows users to compare results from different study case scenarios, including those that result from specific mitigation actions (useful for benefits analysis) HAZUS-MH is a planning tool that estimates damage and losses from natural hazards

HAZUS in Florida Support at the State EOC State Mitigation Plan Annual Hurricane Exercises Catastrophic Planning Florida HAZUS User Group

Support at the State EOC HAZUS-MH Response Mitigation (Loss Reduction) Preparedness Recovery

Preparedness Develop emergency response plans –Temporary housing –Debris removal –Emergency power and water –Emergency medical services –Evacuation/emergency route clearance Organize response exercises

Response Post-disaster damage assessment and ground-truthing Estimate sheltering needs Identify critical transportation outages Identify critical facilities

Mitigation Identify ‘at-risk’ communities and populations Mitigation Measures  Strengthen existing structures  Strengthen window/door openings and siding Mitigation Programs  Adopt and enforce hazard-resistant building codes

Recovery Recovery action planning Long-term economic recovery planning Post-disaster building inspection capability Housing recovery strategy

State Mitigation Plan The Florida Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a framework for linking pre- and post-disaster mitigation planning and measures with public and private interests to ensure an integrated, comprehensive approach to disaster loss reduction. HAZUS used extensively for review and analysis of hazards and risks.

Florida Catastrophic Planning The Florida Catastrophic Planning Project considers two catastrophic events: a breach of the Herbert Hoover Dike around the waters of Lake Okeechobee and a Category 5 hurricane making landfall in South Florida, which has a population of nearly seven million.
