4 About us 4 Research center at IUPUI Established in 1989 Self-supporting since 1993 Matrix organization with 26 FTE professional staff and 8 interns $3 million annual budget

5 Areas of Emphasis Our Core Competencies 5 Geoinformatics Community Informatics Spatial Humanities Health Informatics

6 Multi-s Mitigation Planning Projects 6

7 Mitigation Planning: Common Goal with Multiple Partners 7

8 Background Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 Control Federal costs of disaster assistance Streamline administration of disaster relief Implement cost-effective mitigation measures Adoption & Implementation Organize Resources Develop the Mitigation Plan Identification & Assessment 8

9 s Mitigation Planning at Polis 9 We develop innovative processes to help communities enhance and interpret their data and build resiliency against disasters. More than 200 local hazard analyses IU Disaster Resistant University plan Indiana State Mitigation Plan

10 Analyze s 10 Flooding Earthquake Tornado Hazmat Slope Analysis Transportation Vulnerability

11 Assess Vulnerability and Identify which assets are at risk 11 Vulnerable Transportation Police department in floodplain

12 Develop Mitigation Plan 12 Develop mitigation strategies within FEMA recommended categories Prevention Property Protection Public Education Natural Resource Protection Emergency Services Structural Projects

13 Develop Mitigation Plan 13 Develop mitigation strategies within FEMA recommended categories Identify mitigation actions to implement recommended strategies

14 Mitigation Planning Improvement 14 Goal: Optimizing Planning Processes Optimizing use of resources Increasing quality of products Nine Process Areas

15 Flood s 15

16 16 Collaborative approach Goals: quality data, public awareness, action that reduces risk Watershed-oriented Focus on up-front coordination Discovery is mandatory Strong focus on mitigation action!

17 Partial List of Projects 17 DNR / FEMA Ellettsville Jack s Defeat Creek Hendrix County White Lick Creek (FEH) Tipton Resilience Plan Owen County - TVA Logansport Goose Creek Chesterfield Chesterfield Branch Winchester Kemm- Perry Legal Drain and Salt Creek OCRA / Silver Jackets Fluvial Erosion (FEH) Phases I-III Non-Levee Embankment mapping INFIP Database efforts for DNR

18 Fluvial Erosion (FEH) In June 2008, flooding damaged or destroyed more than 650 sections of road, 60 bridges, and 100 culverts in Indiana 18

19 Fluvial Erosion (FEH) Phase I Regional Curves Developed by USGS Used to predict bankfull width (BFW) BFW required for FEH calculation 19

20 Fluvial Erosion (FEH) Phase I Regional Curves Phase II Statewide FEH Zone Map 20

21 Fluvial Erosion (FEH) Phase I Regional Curves Phase II Statewide FEH Zone Map Phase III Vulnerable Assets Guidance for fluvial erosion management Example preliminary engineering reports Workshops on erosion management methods Transportation flood vulnerability assessment preliminary screening method Development of post flood response guidance 21

22 Non-Levee Embankment (NLE) Phase I Identify and Map NLEs Phase II Identify at risk infrastructure Phase III Provide education and outreach Phase IV Provide education and outreach to IDHS, FEMA, USACE and public Recognized by FEMA as a CTP Best Practice. National Committee on Levee Safety estimates that 85% of nations 100,000 miles of levees are locally owned and maintained. 22

23 Non-Levee Embankment (NLE) NLE Attributes: NLE Type Length Elevation (Max and Min) Slope (Max, Min and Ave) NLE Types Agricultural Typically found in farm fields Transportation Raised roads and railroads Residential Adjacent to residential housing Commercial Adjacent to commercial properties Other Doesn t fit above The availability of statewide LiDAR data was essential to the success of this project. 23

24 Non-Levee Embankment (NLE) Why are these important? Provide a false sense of security Potential increase of flooding upstream and downstream Reduction in storage capacity NON-LEVEE EMBANKMENT Non-Levee Embankment Pinch Point 24 Engineered Certified Levee

25 Indiana Floodplain Information Portal (INFIP) Effective NFHL Regulatory Flood Boundaries plus Non- DFIRM boundaries (Regulatory Only) Preliminary Flood Boundaries undergoing updates Best Available Current, NFHL plus Zone A Flood Elevation Points 1.0% Flood Elevations along mapped streams 25

27 Capacity Development 27 Polis has developed tools and workflows that support risk identification and mitigation in multiple states. We build capacity within these states for conducting ongoing risk management activities.

28 28 Tools and Workflows Scope Point-level building inventory with information such as value, construction and use. This information is used to estimate potential losses of buildings due to environmental hazards such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes

29 29 Tools and Workflows How they are used: Data translators are created using ArcGIS data interoperability tool extension, and imported into Hazus software for analysis to estimate building/economic losses

30 Enhanced Mitigation Plans Riverine and Coastal Floods Building level analysis 30 Basemap source - Esri

31 Enhanced Mitigation Plans Hurricanes 31 Basemap source - Esri

32 Enhanced Mitigation Plans Tornados 32

33 In-state capacity 33 Training - Regional commissions analysis concepts and methods Workflow procedures Strategic coordination with GIO

34 Research 34 Topics Climate change / sea level rise Assessing the impact of current and future flooding with and without green infrastructure Highly collaborative Informed by enhanced data

35 Other Strategic collaborations 35

36 Platforms 36

37 37 Disaster Mitigation Platforms: Indiana and South Carolina A solution platform to translate technical flood hazard information into actionable information to be used by planners, and to support disaster mitigation effort Silver Jackets Partners: USACE IGS IGIC DNR IDHS

38 38 A first step towards a bigger goal!

39 Consultancies 39

40 Decision Support Center for Environmental Crises (DSCEC) in Kuwait 40 Comprehensive requirement analysis (user needs assessment) Description, categorization and prioritization of hazards in Kuwait. Systems design Building design Infrastructure Design Operational Support Crises Decision Support center

41 Mitigation Saves National Study 41 An independent study to assess the future saving from mitigation actions Building on the findings of a 2005 study Expanding focus to private mitigation actions Expanding results to include more hazards: Floods, winds, Earthquakes, and wildfires Polis is leading the national assessment on flood mitigation cost-benefit analysis

42 Landmines Initiatives For Earth (LIFE2030) 42

43 Training 43

44 Locations of courses, presentations and keynotes cities in 36 states and 10 countries

45 Education expertise 45 Topics GIS Fundamentals for emergency management practitioners Data development methodologies risk assessment techniques for earthquakes risk assessment techniques for floods risk assessment techniques for hurricanes Disaster operations Assessment Fundamentals Floodplain Management

46 United States Army Corps of Engineers NLE Training Provide enhanced documentation and python applications 2-day on-site workshop Kentucky prototype mapping and evaluation Outreach to mapped Kentucky mapped community USACE has contracted with the Polis Center to provide training for identifying and mapping NLEs 46
