Geospatially Expanding NFPA 1710: Advancing GIS Applications in Emergency Services 2010 Ohio GIS Conference September 15-17, 2010 Crowne Plaza North Hotel Columbus, Ohio 2010 Ohio GIS Conference September 15-17, 2010 Crowne Plaza North Hotel Columbus, Ohio Jennifer Weisser GIS Coordinator Deerfield Township Randall W. Hanifen Adjunct Professor University of Cincinnati

2. Emergency Services & GIS Increased adoption of geospatial technologies by emergency services Highlights of various applications of GIS

3. Fire Literature 1710: 4.1.2.1  time objectives for call response 1710: 4.1.2.2-3  explanation of standard language –90% of calls within 6 minute response 1 minute dispatch time (Alarm Processing) 1 minute turnout time EMS, 80 seconds fire 4 minute drive time

4. Fire Literature Fire Protection Handbook 20 th edition volume 2 section 12 chapter 13: GIS for fire station locations and response protocols (AKA ESRI white paper) –Incident analysis –Travel time modeling –Importance of response time  fire & EMS –Fire department total reflex time sequence  dispatch time, turnout time, response time, access time & setup time –Reducing response times

5. Hot Spot Analysis

6. Measuring Distance EuclideanNetwork

7. Response Times Calculate existing service areas Percent of coverage –Township  16.3 mi 2 –4 min  8.5 mi 2  52% –6 min  14.3 mi 2  88% –8 min  16 mi 2  98%

8. ERZ Border Validation ERZ = emergency response zone Investigate border placement based on current assignment & response time Bright pink  area (as determined by model) that needs closer examination

9. Fire Station Site Selection Specific aspects must be taken into consideration when selecting a location for a fire station  site vs. situation –Response times –Historical call density/target hazards –Zoning/land use –Parcel size/topography –Projected population growth/zoning

10. Site Suitability Analysis Source: ESRI Map Algebra

11. Site Suitability Analysis GeoWorld August 2009 - Beyond Mapping: Spatial Sensitivity Analysis Assesses Model Response

12. Site Suitability Analysis Site Suitability based on –Call density  40% –Population density  40% –Zoning  20% Run time model based on sites recommended with high suitability
