3 Executive Summary This Playbook describes data for locations that have been defined as Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) sites by the City of Monterey, CA. This playbook provides details on the database and imagery that includes CIKR site data collected by both the City of Monterey and the Remote Sensing Center (RSC) of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The database also includes pre-disaster street-level and aerial photography of these CIKR sites to provide a baseline for post-disaster image comparisons. These data are provided on a USB disk drive compatible with MS Windows systems for use by first responders and emergency managers as part of Emergency Operations Center resources. Further discussion of these datasets and directory structure are found in Playbook #: RSC-02. Instructions are provided here on how to access the database, and display and update the critical infrastructure using ArcGIS. This Playbook is intended for use for post-earthquake damage assessment by 1 st responders and emergency managers as part of Emergency Operations Center resources. The Playbook Directory near the end of this document shows the NPS Earthquake Response Playbook sequence to help put this Playbook into perspective and give an overview of products resulting from this research and some aspects of practical implementation. The content of each Playbook is briefly described; however, users are referred to the specific named and numbered Playbooks for full product descriptions. These provide additional detailed product information, instructions on how to separately utilize the individual products, and how to combine them into an integrated system for improved earthquake response. iii

4 Overview Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate, the Remote Sensing Center (RSC) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) has developed a series of instructional playbooks designed to assist first responders and emergency managers with the use of remote sensing technology for improving earthquake response. A key part of this project involves cataloging and providing information on Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR). Nationally, CIKR is an umbrella term that refers to those assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof. The CIKR discussed in this playbook are defined by the City of Monterey, CA as those sites that fit the above definition of CIKR. Actual identification information and locations are not shown, but enhanced information has been provided to the City of Monterey. This playbook (Playbook #RSC-03) describes data collected by the City of Monterey for CIKR sites that and supplemented by additional data collected during ground surveys conducted by the Remote Sensing Center (RSC) of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). Some of the data being provided includes baseline imagery from both groundbased photography and aerial photography. The CIKR database, baseline-imagery products, and CIKR geospatial data are provided to support of emergency planning, change detection, and post-disaster event assessment, response, and management. Purpose/Objectives The objective and purpose of this playbook is to provide details about CIKR locations specific to the City of Monterey, California. The intent is that these data will act as the starting point for establishing pre-event conditions and conducting emergency planning for the City of Monterey and act as a model for CIKR compilations for other locations/entities. Products and data can then be used with post-event data to determine areas of change, to perform damage assessment, and for evaluation of critical infrastructure. Hardware Required These data are provided on a USB external disk drive compatible with MS-Windows (XP, VISTA, Windows-7) operating systems. Users should be able to plug this device directly into an USB port, have the drive recognized by the system, and be able to see the directory structure as described below. Data can then be used directly on the drive, or copied to another EOC resource. They can also be supplemented by existing imagery and geographic information developed by the EOC. 1

5 Software Required ArcGIS is the common software required for display and viewing of these data and products. Additional processing and analysis can be achieved using any image processing or GIS software. A standard web browser is required to view the individual CIKR websites. Microsoft Excel (or equivalent spreadsheet software) is required to view the CIKR database. Google Earth is required to view the various KML/KMZ files. To download and activate the Google Earth application, navigate a web browser to and follow the instructions for a PC installation. Data Overview Figure 1 shows the general data directory structure for the project. The CIKR data are located in the /Monterey_County_Data-05_GIS/Monterey_City_Critical_Infrastructure directory. Details of individual datasets are described in separate sections below. Figure 1: Monterey County/City Data Directory Structure Data Descriptions The data in the CIKR database were culled from the City of Monterey CIKR Plan dated June Based upon the list of CIKR sites, members of the RSC performed ground verification and a photographic survey of these locations. High-spatial resolution overhead coverage of Monterey City critical infrastructure was also acquired using a light aircraft during August 2012 by San Diego State University (SDSU). These data are located in the /Monterey_Peninsula_Data-08_Aerial_Photography (SDSU) directory on the data drive, or can be accessed through the main internal webpage. Each CIKR site has a webpage showing the geospatial information, ground-view photography, and a high-resolution aerial frame of the CIKR site from the SDSU 2

6 imagery (above). The webpages can be accessed through the main internal website. In addition, a Google Earth KML file illustrating the geographic distribution of the CIKR sites has been placed in the data directory and also can be accessed through the main internal webpage or through each individual CIKR site webpage. A geodatabase file is also included that contains geospatial data on the various CIKR sites broken down by CIKR type. This geodatabase is designed to be used with ArcGIS for mapping purposes. More detailed information on this data is available in the Scientific Background section. CIKR Database (Microsoft Excel) To open the CIKR Database 1. Open Microsoft Excel. Instructions 2.

18 Displaying Critical Infrastructure Using ArcGIS SDSU Aerial Imagery of CIKR 1. Start ArcMap by double clicking on your desktop icon or selecting from the Windows Start Menu. 2. Click the Add Data ( ) button, and navigate to the correct baseline data directory \Monterey_Image_Baseline_Data\Monterey_Peninsula_Data-08_Aerial_Photography (SDSU) \Monterey_image_mosaics_courtesy_of_NEOS 3. Select neos_ortho_monterey_12aug12_sdsu_modified.tif then click Add (Figure 14). Figure 14: Example Add Data window in ArcMap showing the SDSU imagery file ready to be added. A mosaic of individual images taken from across the City of Monterey by San Diego State University will be displayed. This is an uncontrolled mosaic (no ground control), so some features may be slightly spatially offset from their exact locations. 15

19 Each frame used to form the mosiac is also available for use with ArcMap. Table 1, shown in Figure 15 (also shown in the Scientific Background section), cross-references the CIKR sites with the individual frame numbers. This table can also be found in the file: Lookup_Table_Critical_Infrastructure_vs_Aerial_Imagery.xls at: \Monterey_Image_Baseline_Data\Monterey_Peninsula_Data- 08_Aerial_Photography(SDSU)\Monterey_image_collection_and_critical_infrastructure_information -OR- through the main internal webpage. Figure 15: Lookup Table linking specific CIKR to the corresponding SDSU individual aerial photography frame image. CIKR identifying information (Feature Names) have been removed. These are only available to the City of Monterye, CA. 16

20 To load one of these individual frames in ArcMap, navigate as above to the \Monterey_image_frames_georeferenced directory. Select the frame that corresponds to the CIKR site in Table 1, and then click Add. An alternative to the SDSU data, high spatial resolution aerial photography with good ground control, can displayed using the same approach. This dataset is found at: \Monterey_Image_Baseline_Data \Monterey_Peninsula_Data-07_Orthophotography (2012-NPS-Contract) CIKR Geodatabase With ArcMap running as above and the SDSU mosaic image displayed: 1. Click the Add Data ( ) button again, and navigate to the Critical Infrastructure data directory on the USB drive (Figure 16). \Monterey_Image_Baseline_Data\Monterey_County_Data-05_GIS \Monterey_City_Critical_Infrastructure 2. Select the shapefile 81_Critical_Project.shp and click Add). Shapefiles (.shp) contain points associated geospatial data and these will be plotted when selected. Use ArcMap s pan and zoom capabilities to examine the CIKR. Figure 16: Example Add Data window in ArcMap showing the CIKR shapefiles (.shp) available. 17

21 All Monterey CIKR sites are located in the file 81_Critical_Project.shp. The remaining shapefiles (in their own subdirectories) represent the same established CIKR shape files, but organized by category. Figure 17 shows a sample zoomed map of Downtown Monterey with the SDSU imagery as a basemap and the red dots representing selected commercial sites as a surrogate for actual CIKR sites, which are only available to the City of Monterey, CA. Figure 17: Sample map of Downtown Monterey showing both SDSU high-resolution imagery and selected commercial sites (red dots). 18

22 Individual CIKR points from any of the aforementioned shapefiles (.shp) can be identified using the Identify tool in ArcMap. To identify specific CIKR points: 1. In ArcMap with the image and CIKR points displayed click the Identify ( ) button. 2. Now, using the mouse, move the pointer to the point that needs to be identified. 3. Click on the point and a new Identify window will pop up with detailed information 4. Multiple points can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on points. 5. Another way of selecting multiple points is to press and hold down the left mouse key, then drag a selection box over the points you wish to identify. When done, release the left mouse key. All of the points that fell within that box will be listed in the Identify pop-up window 6. When attempting to select points or layers in ArcMap, make sure that you are trying to identify from the correct layer. This can be verified using the Identify pop-up window. At the top of this window is a dropdown menu labeled Identify from:. Use this to determine which layer or layers you wish to identify from. This option makes trying to identify features on a crowded or busy map much easier to do by narrowing down which layers to choose from. 19
