1. THE FOUR PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

2. GIS and Preparedness The process of identifying potential emergency management problems that a community may encounter, mapping these hazards, and evaluating the consequences if a natural or man-made disaster were to occur.

3. GIS and Preparedness Pre-determined Evacuation Routes Critical Infrastructure Pre- Identification –Water, electric, Pipelines Pre-Plan For Large Events (Packer Games,Celebrate America,Hmong Fest) –Staging Areas –Traffic Control Points –Pre-positioned resources –Emergency Shelters

4. GIS and Response Map Incident Facilities -Command Posts -Staging Areas Evacuation Routes Affected Infrastructure Plume Modeling Aerial Photos (Pre vs. Post Disaster) –Determine the scope and complexity of the event

5. Scenario A local dairy farm calls 911 and informs them that a forklift ruptured their anhydrous ammonia tank. Some of the workers in the area are complaining their eyes are burning and they are having difficulty breathing. There is also visible burning on their skin.

6. GIS Applications

7. Facility/Chemical Information

8. LEPC WORK PLANS Off-site Facilities Include: –Contact Information for the facility –Chemicals Present –Response Information Data Sheets –Vulnerability Zones

9. Other Pertinent Information Available Population Affected Child Care Facilities in the Area Other Facilities Affected Traffic Control Points Needed Possible Staging Areas ETC.

10. GIS and Mitigation Flood Plain Management Identify Structures that need relocation or reinforcement. Target Infrastructure in Hazard zones (flood plains, primary impact zones for earthquakes) and look at relocation as an option. Identify areas that would be affected by spills (transportaion vs. fixed facilities)

11. GIS and Recovery Short-Term –Damage Assessment –In conjunction with GPS, Identify “at risk” structures –Identify Shelters and Emergency Supplies Long-Term –Cost Tracking –Priority Restoration –Progress Tracking

12. GIS and Public Information Evacuation Routes Areas Affected Shelter Locations Emergency Supplies distribution sites Mass Immunization Clinics

13. Equipment Needed Computers/Fax/Copiers/Scanners/TelephonesSoftware/Licenses Multiple Projectors and Screens Plotters GPS Units Access to County/Municipal Servers Back-up CD’s with Spatial Data Camcorders Digital Cameras Emergency Contact List Anything Else?

14. GIS and the EOC EOC representatives should be qualified, knowledgeable, and available Representatives should have basic training in EOC and Emergency Management Operations

15. Keys to Successful Disaster Management On-going training and exercising Data is accurate, current, and available Proper equipment is acquired and maintained Relationships are developed and maintained and contact lists are up-to-date
