9. 9 Purpose -- Integrate Hazard Tools Phase 1 9 WARNGEN (< 1 hour) GHG (Hours-Days) RiverPro (Days) Hazard Services

10. 10 Purpose -- Integrate Hazard Tools Phase 2 10 WARNGEN (< 1 hour) GHG (Hours-Days) RiverPro (Days) Hazard Services NMAP (National)

11. 11 Purpose -- Two-way Communication Phase 3 11 AWIPS II CAVE -- Forecasters Web -- Partners: EM's, Broadcasters Spotters, Publics IHIS serves as a vehicle for social science (RENCI / SSWIM) research into Partner Requirements to be realized by NWS National “Cloud” Hazards Impacts

12. 12 Project History 2004 OSIP Project / Next Generation Warning Tool team – Telecons for Concept and Requirements discussions 2008 Workshop Norman OK, 130 attendees http://www.weather.gov/warningworkshop – 50% NWS / 50% partners (FEMA, EM’s, etc.) 2009 Integrated Hazard Information Services Workshop hosted by GSD, 70 attendees http://fxa.noaa.gov/NGWT/NGWT_Workshop.html – Forecasters / partners / developers / social scientists – Initial User Interface designed for prototyping 2010 Prototyping – Web-based short-fused tornado warning – Established basic user interface through rapid forecaster feedback – Looking ahead to two-way communication

13. 13 Project History 2011 Prototype work – AWIPS II CAVE Prototypes – short-fused, long- fused, hydro – Utilization of PGEN drawing tools – GIS data – hospitals, Iris spotter reports, Census – Design and partial development for “Live Data” – Web-based prototype (prior to May) – Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners 2011 Workshops – Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners – Hazard Services Workshop II (Sept) – Engaged user community and began defining IOC requirements

26. April 2002 Integrated Hazard Information Services Moving from Product-Centric to Information-Centric Hazard Information Still need to store both legacy VTEC (Valid Time Event Code) product-centric information along with “atomic” information-centric information.

27. April 2002 27 Hazard Creation : Grids, Polygons, Points, Paths (Drawn or Calculated) -> Product Generation SBN National Distributed Database Atomic Hazard Information VTEC Information Hazard Services – Data Storage Information Centric Product Centric

28. 28 Next Steps and Future Work

29. 29 Summary of Prototyping Work – Prototyping has “Touched on” ~60% of requirements Provided a good launching point for gathering functional requirements and IOC design Yet only covers ~20% of the functionality

30. 30 Future Work -- Integrated GSD / RTS team for Phase 1 production development -- Goals: OSIP Gate 3 and IOC -- Development Tasks – Data Transformation Framework for algorithms such as Recommenders and Text Products – Database Solution – working with Iris team on storage formats, security, authentication – User Interface and Forecast Process – common GUI for efficient and accurate hazard generation

31. Common Data Access Common Tools – iTools, Recommenders, Text Products Collaboration Real-time Data Sharing National Data “Cloud” Hazard Services across perspectives A possible step toward integrating AWIPS Applications
