  1. Data Acquisition GPS for Fire Management & ICS - 2006

  2. Objective: Learn Where and How to Acquire GIS Data for Map Making

  3. Summary of Topics: • What Data Do You Need? • Does it Exist Locally? • Web Availability • Data for Purchase

  4. Data Needs • Data requirements depend upon what products the situation unit needs • Base data • static layers • raster data (e.g., DRGs) • vector data (e.g., wilderness boundaries) • Incident data- • data tied directly to an incident (e.g., fire origin) • GPS data for points, lines, perimeter

  5. Data Needs • Where and How Can You Acquire Base Data?

  6. Question: Where is your GPS Mission?

  7. Where’s the Fire? • Home Unit • ask GIS staff • search data library on servers or CDs • Traveling • get base data before you go • may not have internet access • GIS data is usually large • connect with Local Staff when you arrive

  8. Download GIS base data from the Internet

  9. ftp.nifc.gov • \Statewide_GIS_Data • Interagency ftp site that allows base data download via anonymous login • Posting data requires a login • Data was posted by BLM Regional Office contacts • DRGs and other data are available for the Western US and Alaska

  10. ftp.nifc.gov

  11. ftp.nifc.gov • \Incident_Specific_Data • Organized by fire name • One directory per incident • Incident directories • GISS request • FTP site manager creates • Username and password • passed on to existing and new teams

  12. Fire Data Ordering Sitehttp://firedata.cr.usgs.gov • Developed by USGS • DRGs, DEMs, shaded relief, DOQs • requested projections • Vector fire data • Free Download • MODIS, AVHRR, • current fire locations • fire perimeters • base data layers *User name and password: FireXdata

  13. Fire Data Ordering Site • Restricted to Fire personnel • Access to additional datasets • Vector data - ArcIMS extract tool • Order custom raster data: DRG, DOQ, DEM, shaded relief with fire number

  24. Buy Data • TOPO! Xport Pro • National Geographic Product • $200 • 1:500,000 & 1:100,000 Resolution Shaded Relief • Entire US – 50 States • Export to GeoTiff • Single State Series 1:24,000

  25. TOPO! Xport Pro

  26. When You Get There…Get Connected • Find out who the local GIS folks are…. • City / County Sheriff support offices • Land management agencies GIS coordinators • Request a cell phone from the Communications Unit if necessary • You may be first on the incident • Establish FTP/Internet Connection

  27. Reasons for Knowing the Locals • They will inherit the incident • They have data that you may benefit from • They may be able to help you if you need additional hardware or supplies • Example: Plotters (Lease?) or external hard drive.

  28. Summary of Topics: • What Data Do You Need? • Does it Exist Locally? • Web Availability • Data for Purchase
