  1. GIS Activities of theState Emergency Response Team Richard Butgereit GIS Administrator 850-413-9907 richard.butgereit@em.myflorida.com

  2. Some activities to cover… • US National Grid • Virtual USA • Geospatial Assessment Tool for Operations and Response – GATOR • KML for Google Earth • E-Plan • Incident Mapper

  3. United States National Grid • Lessons learned have taught us that standardized grids are needed for positional reporting. • As far back as Hurricane Andrew, problems were recognized for emergency managers...

  4. Florida Adopts the USNG • USNG was adopted by the FFCA • FDEM to adopt the USNG in the States CEMP • Florida Fire College, Florida Fire Chiefs Association, FL National Guard to develop curriculum and instructor manuals • Modules incorporated into Firefighter II curriculum

  5. FEMA Adopts the USNG • Near term priority approved by Administrator Fugate • Establish a standard for FEMA operational maps using the National Grid

  6. What’s wrong with current systems? We already have… • Latitude/Longitude • Township/Range/Section • Street Address and Zip • “Bingo” Grids

  7. Latitude/Longitude Multiple formats are confusing DD -85.990151, 30.272240 DM -85 59.409089, 30.16.334386 DMS 85 59’24.545”W, 30 16’20.063”N All the same location!!!

  8. How far is a second anyway? What is the distance from…. 85 59’24.545”W, 30 16’20.063”N To here…. 85 59’26.292”W, 30 16’14.546”N

  9. Township/Range/Section Township/Range/Section grid from the Public Lands Survey System is an important and good system… • basis of land ownership records • been in use for over 180 years

  10. Township/Range/Section • But a perfect section really doesn’t exist • irregular in coastal areas • too large to meet needs of ground crews

  11. Street Address and Zip • Problematic due to… • rural routes • post office boxes • House numbers missing or obscured

  12. What do you do when the SIGNS are gone?

  13. What do you do when the ROADS are gone?

  14. Universal Transverse Mercator • Developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the 1940s • A position on the Earth is referenced in the UTM system by the UTM zone, and the easting and northing coordinate pair. Abbreviated as “UTM” 16R 766000 3364820

  15. Military Grid Reference System • is the geocoordinate standard used by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for locating points on the earth. • is derived from the UTM grid system, but uses a different labeling convention. Abbreviated as “MGRS” 16R GU 66000 64820

  16. United States National Grid • Practically identical to MGRS. • Difference is the datum – MGRS uses WGS84, which USNG uses NAD 83 • Coordinates reported identical. Abbreviated as “USNG” 16R GU 66000 64820

  17. USNG • it has the advantage of being easily plotted on USGS topographic maps by using a simple "right and then up" method instead of having to plot from right to left when using latitude and longitude in the Western Hemisphere. The coordinates are also easily translated to distance since they are in meters. Thus the distance between two coordinates can quickly be determined in the field.

  18. How to read USNG 16R GU 66000 64820 Grid Zone Designation – for a world-wide unique address, identifies the longitude zone number and the latitude band letter 100,000 Meter Grid – identification for regional areas Grid Coordinates – Easting and Northing position

  19. Truncate for locality 16R 17R 16R GU 66000 64820 • just like you don’t have to dial an area code to make a local call… • all Florida locations will be 16R or 17R

  20. Truncate for locality 16R 17R 16R GU 66000 64820 • 100,000 meter zone designation may be dropped when working locally

  21. Truncate for less precision… 16R GU 66000 64820 Locates within 1 meter 66000 64820 Locates within 10 meters 6600 6482 660 648 Locates within 100 meters 66 64 Locates within 1000 meters

  22. USNG • Easily scaleable • Pin-point and cell based locational reporting • “Grid within a Grid”

  23. Global Positioning Systems • I have GPS……..why do I need to care about any of this? • USNG can be used with GPS • GPS supplements USNG • USNG will work when your GPS won’t

  24. USNG and GPS • Most GPS units explicitly support USNG as an option for units • If you choose USNG, you must also choose NAD 83 as your datum (or technically, you haven’t chosen USNG) • You may also choose MGRS with NAD 83 to be the functional equivalent of USNG

  25. Support for USNG • http://www.floridadisaster.org/gis/usng • tools and instructions for GIS staff • FDEM’s GATOR • new mapping website with USNG tools • FDEP’s Incident Mapper • simple Google Maps mashup with USNG tools • GeoPDF’s • new PDF formats have GIS capabilities, including USNG support

  26. USNG in ArcGIS 9.1 • USNG National Grid Tools Repackaging of… • Military Analyst • Product line tool set (PLTS) • USNG Locational Toolbar Available from ArcScripts • Less complicated, easier to use

  27. USNG in ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 • Integrated… • Go to X,Y Tool • Identify • Graticules

  28. Military Analyst in ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 USNG coordinates may easily be added to a feature class. NAR-C is proper NAD 83 choice - “North American Reference CONUS”

  29. Military Analyst in ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 USNG coordinates added to a feature class.

  30. Map Book Templates • DS Map Book (free extension to ArcMap • Produce 4,000 m x 5,000 8.5” x 11” 1:24,000 scale maps • Style guide, templates and video from Delta State University linked from http://www.floridadisaster.org/gis/USNG/index.htm#mapbooks

  31. Map Book Templates

  32. Map Books • If you have a county wide map book (with USNG or not), please let us know for inclusion on our website

  33. An information sharing initiative (not an application, nor a website) Regional Operational Pilot Platform between southeastern states from Feb – Nov 2009 Florida State Emergency Response Team participates, creates new mapping website, KML network links, and GeoRSS feeds Virtual USA

  34. EMForum.org-http://www.emforum.org/vforum/091118.htm DHS Secretary Napolitano Unveils Virtual USA http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1260375414161.shtm Virtual USA

  35. http://map.floridadisaster.org/GATOR Geospatial Assessment Tool for Operations and Response web mapping application real-time data like weather radar, watches, storm reports base map and post-event data GATOR
