1 GIS in Situational and Operational Awareness: Supporting Public Safety from the Operations Center to the Field

2 Glasgow Bombings- June 2007

3 Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Homeland Security Organizations are facing increasingly complex, interrelated and sometimes overlapping missions Creating a greater need for situational awareness, operational awareness and cross-collaboration through a common geospatial platform

4 Situational and Operational Awareness requires Proactive GIS Capabilities.Creating GIS for Action

5 Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Homeland Security Challenges in 2009 Costs Funding Resources Personnel Safety Daily Operations Strategic Planning Public Expectations.Constant Challenges

6 Compounded by: Difficulties In Creating and Sharing Actionable Intelligence Hard To Get Data Into And Out Of The Field Limited View Into The Operations Of The Organization Challenges Allocating Resources Proactively.GIS is invaluable in solving these problems

7 Broad Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Homeland Security Issues Man-Made and Natural Disasters Critical Infrastructure Protection Transnational Crimes and Threats Increasingly Mobile Populations Pandemic Prevention and Outbreaks Rapid and Sophisticated Technological Change Terrorism and Counterterrorism New and More Harmful Hazardous Materials

8 Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Homeland Security as First Preventers and First Responders Mitigation- Prevent hazards from developing or reducing effects when they occur. Preparedness Developing action plans for disasters and emergencies when they do occur. Response Mobilizing emergency services and first responders to complex disasters and emergencies. Recovery - Actions taken to return to normal following a disaster or an emergency

9 Transforming Data to Knowledge through GIS Data Assess Vulnerabilities Identify Threats Assess Risk Identify Hazards Information Route Analysis Capacity Planning Resource Analysis Contingency Planning Mitigation Preparedness Intel COP Evacuation Routing Shelter Placement Resource Allocation Knowledge Damage Assessment Resource Prioritizing Business Continuity and Reconstruction Response Recovery Creating Situational and Operational Awareness

10 Creating Proactive GIS

11 Collaborative, Spatial Logic-Based Workflow Infrastructure What is Proactive GIS? Geospatial Framework Situational /Operational Awareness Mobile Capabilities Modeling & Analysis Integration Architecture Data Organization and Management Common Operating Environment

12 Applying Proactive GIS in Various Scenarios

13 Applying Spatial Logic Integrated Feeds Bring together internal and external data sources in multiple formats Emergency Alerts Provide relevant, timely content regarding man-made or natural disasters Hazard Models Add context with affected areas, evacuation routes, road closures, supply routes Incident Management Models to determine the spread or escalation of the incident or event and resources that can be applied

14

15 Applying Spatial Logic Multiple Feeds federated data and services from different locations, hosted at different sites Geoprocessing Widgets analysis and summaries of Fire, Emergency and Police Incidents Status and Action Reports single Common Operating Picture to support decision making Field Support intelligence fed to 10+ Command Posts

17 Organizational Situational and Operational Awareness Resource Location Tracking Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Emergency Management Event Status incident reports, GeoRSS feeds, secure services Situational/Operational Awareness incident tracking, resource tracking, command posts Situational/Operational Understanding combined content and context

18 GIS Applies the Geographic Approach to Collaboration Providing Tools, Methods, and Workflows That Support Collaboration and Action Work Flow Storing Integration Many Data Sources Better Decisions Greater Efficiency More Effective Communication Acting Visualizing Analyzing...
