GT Strategic Plan Released in Fall 2004 Commonwealth GT Vision Agency Direction/Coordination Collaboration with Local Governments PAMAP Imagery Project GT Statewide Data Priorities Enterprise Projects/Strategy Tactical Approach

PA Geospatial Data Sharing Standards Version 1.0 Data Standards reflect PAMAP/TNM Data Layers (Topo) Highest Common Denominator for data sharing, horizontally and vertically V 1.0 leveraging investments by PAMAGIC in PAMAP Data Standards initiatives and best practices for local government handbook Incorporating additional fields for use cases, HSIP, classifications, etc.

Statewide Real-Time Weather Data Recent experience – 3 tornadoes, hurricane season, flooding, major transportation accidents in 2004 due to fog and snow/ice Required for severe weather events, natural disasters, SARA facility toxic releases, terroristic WMD/CBRNE events, etc. Need for REAL-TIME weather data in PA to provide local conditions Enterprise license, best-of-breed solution being pursued for real-time GIS weather data, including real-time sensor network in PA, GIS data servers in multiple locations for inclusion in GIS applications and plume models. Includes NOAA/NWS forecast data and imagery in addition to real-time data for NEXRAD storm cells, composite radar imagery, satellite imagery, surface observations, current conditions, etc. Access by all governments in PA – state, county, municipal, first responders Tied in with State 800 MHz radio system/AVL Proximity alerts, severe weather alerts, current conditions, forecasts, and nowcasting
