9. PEMA PEIRS

10. PA Homeland Security GIS PEMA PEIRS The Pennsylvania Emergency Incident Reporting System (PEIRS) establishes standard-reporting criteria, consolidates reporting requirements. PEIRS provides reporting criteria for county emergency management coordinators, communications centers, 911 centers, commercial and industrial facilities, volunteer agencies and state and federal agencies to report emergency incidents which may affect the safety, health, or welfare of citizens of the Commonwealth, or require multi-jurisdictional response to the emergency incident.

11. PA Homeland Security GIS PEMA Pennsylvania Emergency Incident Reporting System (PEIRS) –PEIRS is the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Incident Reporting system –PEIRS is a web based system, incorporating messaging, incident entry, analysis and reporting –Other systems tie into PEIRS DEP PAIRS New Wireless 911 legislation indicates participation in PEIRS incident reporting to have W911 county plan approved for funding Other systems will be added in the future Potentially, all incidents will flow into PEIRS to the new Fusion Center

12. PA Homeland Security GIS

14. PA Homeland Security GIS PEIRS Current Status PEIRS application is currently undergoing several upgrades and modifications to current Geospatial Data Layers. PEMA is currently in the process of integrating 911 CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) into PEIRS through an XML Schema, which will use the incident location as one of the required fields for identification of a county incident to assist in dispatch, response, recovery and mitigation of emergency incidents. PEIRS is being evaluated and modified to ensure it is flexible and robust enough to support future developments and support the Commonwealth in the development of fusion center. The current application allows a user to do several different GIS options. 1.Plot an incident location, then be able to identify critical facilities in and around a facility. 2.An user can retrieve key information relevant to those facilities.

18. PA Homeland Security GIS DEP Pennsylvania Incident Reporting System (PAIRS) –PAIRS is the Commonwealth’s Agency Incident Reporting system –PAIRS is a web portal system, incorporating messaging, incident entry, GIS, analysis, reporting, and public/media outreach –Used by DEP to manage emergency environmental incidents – spills, contamination, toxic leaks, etc. – air, soil, water –Primary Agency Partners: Health Agriculture –Other systems tie into PAIRS PEMA PEIRS

19. PA Homeland Security GIS PAIRS Tracks: –Diseases affecting agriculture and humans –Environmental conditions – short and long term –Contamination of food supplies

21. DEP PAIRS Building on experience and reusing ESRI code from the West Nile Virus (WNV) application, DEP began by linking PEMA, Agriculture, Health and DEP Agency Partners can: –Enter incident information from remote sites across the Commonwealth –Send statewide notifications to other agencies –Send and Receive information from state labs –View real-time reports and maps of the incidents –Add additional information/query an incident –See patterns between incidents/across political boundaries PA Homeland Security GIS

28. Health PA-NEDSS

29. PA Homeland Security GIS What is NEDSS? NEDSS is a national initiative driven by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and uniformity of surveillance data. The “NEDSS vision” includes use of the Internet for data collection and transmission, collection of data as close to the source as possible, incorporation of electronic laboratory reporting and use of uniform coding schemes and data transmission protocols. Pennsylvania’s Electronic Disease Reporting project, PA-NEDSS, is Pennsylvania’s response to this national initiative. PA-NEDSS is a new way to report diseases and investigative findings to the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) via the Internet. It replaces the card and form-based methods. As of November 16th, 2003, PA-NEDSS is the mandatory electronic disease reporting application for Pennsylvania.

30. PA Homeland Security GIS PA-NEDSS Functionality PA-NEDSS establishes a near real-time, secure communication link between laboratories, hospitals, individual medical practices, and the PA DOH. While the reporting process remains unchanged, PA-NEDSS seeks to improve the timeliness and accuracy of disease reporting and expand the public health infrastructure to improve response to possible bioterrorism attacks. PA- NEDSS provides the following core features: Web-based reporting for labs, hospitals, and physicians Integrated electronic lab reporting (ELR) Integrated Health Alert Network (HAN) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) and report extracts for CDC Graphical reporting/ analytical tools Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping tools used to plot cases on a map Comprehensive and integrated system for all program areas including Case Management for Epidemiology (EPI), Tuberculosis (TB), Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), and Elevated Blood Lead Level (Lead) program areas

31. PA Homeland Security GIS PA-NEDSS Users –Hospitals (539) –Labs (519) –Physicians (550) –Public Health Staff (county – 487)

32. PA Homeland Security GIS Schematic Diagram of GIS –The purpose of PA-NEDSS GIS is to perform spatial analysis on the patient and the patient’s contact data within PA-NEDSS. The main components of PA-NEDSS GIS are: GIS Query Forms Map Viewer ArcIMS Map Services ArcSDE Spatial Features SDE I/O – Spatial Feature Update

33. PA Homeland Security GIS PA-NEDSS The Basic Map Query displays points representing reports or investigations according to a query specification. Users can define the level of granularity utilizing zoom functions.

34. PA Homeland Security GIS PA-NEDSS Social Relationship Mapping is particularly useful for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Contacts/Associates mapping of PA-NEDSS disease data.

46. Agriculture Bureau of Animal Health Diagnostic Services (BAHDS) Animal Information Management System (AIMS) Consolidated Database Emergency Management Response System Animal Tracking System

47. PA Homeland Security GIS Database Consolidation Project – 22 databases, different platforms Integration with Ag Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Tracking of premises, herds, individual animals, diseases and tests Leading U.S. in assigning national premise IDs to PA animal operations premises Need for the next Avian Flu outbreak (February 2004 – Lancaster County) Ag BAHDS

48. PA Homeland Security GIS A need for this project has existed for quite some time –Existing data is fragmented and located in antiquated systems such as DEC and is often redundant across multiple databases This limits the usefulness of the data It also creates a lack of confidence in data accuracy The new system will create a more efficient method of data retrieval and reporting –There is a strong need for this system based on Homeland Security issues regarding food safety and the health of our livestock Ag BAHDS

49. PA Homeland Security GIS Project will consolidate all BAHDS databases into one MS SQL Server application –Will also link to the Ag Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for animal disease test results –Will provide for a GIS interface that will allow for the spatial analysis of infected livestock operations and other premises –Provide the ability to track animal movement across the Commonwealth –An Emergency Management Response System will also be created for incident resource tracking –Future development is being laid out for the tracking of animal movement into/across the state using web based technology to provide outside access to authorized users such as private veterinarians Ag BAHDS
