GIS Capabilities of State-Wide Mutual Aid Assets James Cueno, City of Galesburg 2015 ILGISA Conference

A Definition of a Disaster “an event… [that] exceeds the capacity of the governments in whose jurisdiction it occurs. Dealing with disaster therefore requires outside resources.” -Successful Response Starts with a Map, pg 47

Mutual Aid Those outside resources can often be had from other local-level organizations, across jurisdictions.

Mutual Aid Originally mutual aid agreements were made locally and directly, but eventually unified networks were developed linking hundreds of agencies. MABAS – fire and EMS IMERT - medical IPWMAN – public works ILEAS – law enforcement IESMA – emergency management IPHMAS – public health

Operational Resources

Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network Network for local public works agencies to share resources in the event of a disaster. Aware of the benefits that can be had by deploying GIS to support disaster relief operations.

Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network Last year’s IPWMAN conference included a session called “GIS – One of your Best Assests Before, During and After the Hits the Fan”.

Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Provides a resource allocation and distribution network of traditional and non-traditional fire, EMS, Rescue and Special Operations teams. Allows for Fire, EMS and Special Operations teams to be mobilized as state assets, with liability, reimbursements and State workman’s compensation coverage.

MABAS – HAZMAT teams 40 identically trained and equipped person HAZMAT teams distributed across the state. Each team deploys with weather station, chemical sensors and computers with modeling software to monitor and predict the path of atmospheric HAZMAT releases.

MABAS - HAZMAT CAMEO suite: www2.epa.gov/cameo Federally funded, comprehensive system used for managing chemical release emergencies. Integrates with Tier 2 filings from HAZMAT sites and on file with LEPCs. Includes database and mapping system.

MABAS – US&R Task Force 1 “Provides heavy construction search and rescue capabilities. Internal planning, logistics, structural stability assessment, medical and hazardous materials monitoring.” “…involves the location, rescue (extrication) and initial medical stabilization of individuals trapped in confined spaces.”

Task Force 1 - Organization

Task Force 1 - Tech. Info. Specialists “Responsible for documenting, tracking and retrieving all pertinent information for the task force during incident operations.” Gathers requested information from all available sources and forwards to the Planning Team Manager Creates, displays, provides and compiles documents for all pertinent task force and incident information

Cooperating Resources

National Weather Service In the event of a weather disaster, within a few days of the incident, representatives from the National Weather Service will conduct a rough damage assessment survey to classify the storm.

National Weather Service apps.dat.noaa.gov/StormDamage/DamageViewer NWS Damage Survey Viewer

Civil Air Patrol Civilian auxilary of the US Air Force Congressionally assigned to conduct emergency services including search and rescue and disaster relief operations

Civil Air Patrol Can generate low-angle, geotagged, oblique imagery of a disaster area. Similar to products that can also be acquired by IDOT & ISP. ilcap.org

Management Resources

Illinois Incident Management Team Comprised of Command and General Staff elements with support from other organizations. Will support, and if requested, manage a Tactical-level Incident Command for All-Hazards responses.

Emergency Operations Center / Multi-Agency Coordination Center The next level up from the Incident. Provides Strategic support, direction and coordination for the Incident. Not intended to “run the incident” or direct tactics, but strategically steer the response.

Illinois Emergency Services Management Association Fields the Emergency Management Assistance Team (EMAT) to assist or provide EOC operations.
