- 2. Presentation Overview Jordan Everhart – E Team Nathan Dean – CATS David Halliday- EmerGeo Patrick Young - Autodesk
- 3. Disaster vs. Emergency Disaster – Natural, man-made (terrorism) Emergency – House fires, HAZMAT, bomb threats
- 4. Product Description E Team is a real-time software program that caters to all four phases of emergency management (preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery), allowing maximum response to both large scale disasters and every day emergencies.
- 5. Disaster Functions • Perform large scale exercises • Hazard modeling • Identify and map critical assets and infrastructure • Gather and share critical information with several agencies at once
- 6. Emergency Functions • Track and map incidents of all types • Intelligence and tip reporting • Request, deploy and track resources • Personnel Management • Asset and Infrastructure damage • Conduct situation reports
- 7. Pros and Cons • Import shape files, CAD drawings and CATS modeling tools • Browser-based • Can be successfully used for both disasters and emergencies • Pocket PC version • Cost • Common user interface for tasks, reports and views • Training • Poor reference manual
- 8. CATS (Consequences Assessment Toolset) • “CATS is a consequence management tool package that integrates hazard prediction, consequence assessment, emergency management tools, and critical population and infrastructure data within a commercial Geographical Information System.” • GIS used to forecast and model potential hazardous events and the response to those events
- 9. Disaster Functions • Use of realistic scenarios of disaster events, predicting areas likely to be effected and how • Assesses resulting damage to facilities and infrastructure • Creation of mitigation strategies, including displaced population support • Determines optimum evacuation routes • Contains models for converting spatial and physical data into casualty probabilities • Identifies and locates resources for and effective and sustained response
- 10. Emergency Functions • Use of realistic scenarios of emergency events, predicting the shape of hazard areas • Recommends the most effective road block distribution and routing options • Mitigation analysis, including medical resources queries and identification of best suitable medical facilities • Provides update to emergency response personnel
- 11. Pros and Cons Pros • Use of various scenario models allows assessment advisors and emergency personnel to plan optimal responses • Operates within a full featured GIS (ArcGIS with Spatial Analysis) • Analytical tools allow users to combine multiple layers of information • Geo-spatial database, including imagery, maps, and population and infrastructure data • Capable of communicating with E Team to provide real-time updates to emergency personnel • Software is free Cons • Not a stand alone application, requires ArcGIS • Focused more towards disaster rather than emergency events • Primarily focus is for planning and mitigation purposes, and not as much with immediate response
- 12. Product Description • EmerGeo was developed to meet the demanding mapping needs of emergency planners and responders. • EmerGeo is a web based GIS mapping add on package designed to work in conjunction with an organization’s existing systems and data. • EmerGeo utilizes easy drawing tools, standard map symbols and Open GIS allowing first responders to perform mapping functions.
- 13. Disaster Functions • Uses US Department of Homeland Security’s new standardized map symbols and terminology • Hazard modeling for earthquake, flood and chemical spread • Automated Logging of drawing activities on map provides a record of ‘what happened’ enabling a ‘replay’ function to review response activities for debriefings and future planning • Open GIS allows for interdepartmental response coordination • Evacuation areas with address generation
- 14. Emergency Functions • Traffic control functions • Coordination between departments • Chemical plume modeling
- 15. Pros and Cons • Easy to use • Standard map symbols • Can read standard GIS platforms - .dxf .dgn .shp • Open GIS standards • New company, new software • Redundant capabilities • Limited emergency functions
- 16. Product Description • Autodesk Emergency Response Solutions is a suite of GIS applications that prepares for, responds to, and manages disasters. • Crisis Command is one of those applications that provides both tactical and strategic capabilities for first responders and emergency response officials.
- 17. Emergency Features • Incident reporting and notification • Critical asset tracking • Landmark and resource information • Fire attack pre-planning • Bomb blast analysis • Sniper/counter sniper capabilities • Plume (flow) analysis • National Emergency Response Guide (ERG) – Digital manual to industry-standard chemical information
- 18. Disaster Features • Pre-impact damage prediction • Evacuation routes • Information on predesignated shelters • During- and post-impact search and rescue • Post-impact damage assessment • Management and distribution of geospatial data and maps across the internet using MapGuide • Analysis on predicting some storm surges and damage • Built in warning systems
- 19. Pros & Cons • Pros: – Easy data input through standard forms – Mobile access to data and software – Dynamic 3D visualization – Support of an industry leader • Cons: – Requires AutodeskMapGuide to run which must be purchased separately – Does not offer an E911 solution – Runs $7,612 for Crisis Command and $3,260 for AutodeskMap 6.0
