2. HIFLD Overview Evolution of HIFLD – Coordination and Community participation – Identification and Access to Common Operating Data HIFLD Relationship to National Policy and Directives HIFLD linkage to FGDC Summary Recommendation 2 Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Working Group Presentation Agenda

3. HIFLD Objective  Everyone Wants Situational Awareness  Everyone Wants a Common Operational Picture 3 HIFLD Builds Partnerships and Obtains Best Available Data that is Useful, Usable and Used Support Domestic Infrastructure Data Gathering, Sharing and Protection, Visualization, and Spatial Knowledge Management for Homeland Defense, Homeland Security and National Preparedness – Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response and Recovery Communities Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Working Group

4. HIFLD Working Group Four Principals and Over 5,860 Members: 14 Executive Departments, 98 Agencies and 53 States/Territories 4 Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Working Group 4

5. Evolution of HIFLD - Participation 5

6. Product Lines Compilation of ~475 Vector layers comprised of Commercial, Federal and State level Acquisitions. Delivers Common Operational Data to the GEOINT Analyst Total number of Users: 500,000 plus Acquire unclassified high-fidelity 1 meter elevation data over HSIP 133 major urban core areas of the U.S. – 5 year refresh schedule Elevation Acquire unclassified high-resolution ortho-imagery (12 inch GSD or better) over HSIP 133 major urban areas of the U.S. – 2 to 4 year refresh schedule ImageryVector UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO “HSIP Gold is the most widely used infrastructure data set across the Federal Government.” – Ms. Caitlin Durkovich, Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, DHS UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) 6

7. HIFLD supports national directives for operations and critical infrastructure using best available data – Priorities informed by national policies - PPD 8/21, NSDI, NSG… – Supports Digital Government and Information sharing strategies – facilitates discovery and access to common data – Facilitates partnerships across communities - civil, defense, intelligence, and private sectors – Provides feedback mechanism for data providers to understand data usefulness and quality Relationship to National Policy & Directives 7

8. GEOCONOPS and HSIP HIFLD Coordinate identification of operational data supporting National Policy Directives using GeoCONOPS as guide Geospatial Interoperability Architecture (all operating levels) (Distribution strategy for geospatial data) FGDC - Geospatial Platform HLS - Geospatial Information Infrastructure DOD\IC - GeoINT Online National Geospatial Policy Landscape Public Laws / U.S. CodesOMB CircularsPresidential DirectivesExecutive Orders National System for Geospatial (NSG) Critical Infrastructure / Cyber Security (PPD 21) National Geospatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) National Preparedness System (PPD 8) National Information Sharing Strategy (ISE) Federal Geographic Data Committee (OMB A-16) Digital Government Strategy (Data.Gov) 8 HSIP

9. Federal partners are A-16 contributors Complements the OMB A-16 efforts – Includes data content not covered under A-16 Promotes data standards, best practices, and technical capabilities Facilitate distribution of shared data to advance national strategies HIFLD linkage to FGDC 9

10. HLS HD NP - PPMR&R Nat Resources LE Conceptual View of HIFLD Linkage with FGDC Co-Led by DHS (Civil) & NGA (DoD/IC) HIFLD to serve as Cross Cutting Homeland Security\Defense Working Group HIFLD to focus on both common operational and infrastructure data HIFLD Steering Committee _________________ Executive Committee 10

11. Summary Recommendation: Charter relationship between HIFLD & FGDC Strengthens coordination between Operators & Data Providers – Expands FGDC interactions with DOD\IC\HLS\LE communities – Facilitates availability of common operating data across the national community Complements and Enhances FGDC contributions to NSDI – HIFLD includes data requirements not covered under A-16 Formalizes HIFLD Governance and demonstrates strategic level coordination – Promotes national efficiencies for geospatial data sharing (at all operating levels) – Bolsters national geospatial support for PPD 8, 21, information sharing, and digital government 11
