The State of Oregon started the RAPTOR Project in 2010 to "operationalize" the GIS-enabled Common Operating Picture

(COP) capabilities deployed as part of the 2009-2010 U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virtual USA Pilot program.

What is Virtual USA?

A data sharing initiative from the US Department of Homeland Security. Sharing of information and developing tools for

emergency management and response.

RAPTOR History

This pilot project came in the form of the Virtual USA Pacific Northwest Pilot. Participants included:

• Alaska

• Idaho

• Montana

• Oregon

• Washington

RAPTOR History

Many iterations of the program:

• VENOM – Virtual Emergency Network of Multnomah - 2010

• BRIDGE – 2010-2013

• RAPTOR – 2011-present

All coding updates, development of the system (enhancements and new technology), system maintenance and training are

conducted by OEM.

RAPTOR History

Current System Design

• RAPTOR is a web mapping application (based upon ESRI’s JavaScript API) that allows users to display spatially enabled information (georeferenced data) from various resources into a common operating picture.

• RAPTOR is built using the base code from ESRI’s web appbuilder product, with customizations for tools, data, and views within the map.

SHP

REST

AGOL

RAPTOR consumes data in a variety of formats to display onto a common platform.

Most of the data within RAPTOR is served using the REST Services communication protocol.

Current System Design

Notable resources include:

• Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM), including user supplied data via feature services

• National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC)

• Northwest Interagency Coordination Center (NWCC)

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin (NOAA)

• US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

• Federal Emergency Management Admin (FEMA)

• U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

• Oregon Department of Transportation

• Oregon Water Resources Department

• Oregon Department of Geology and Minerals Industries

• Oregon Preparedness Framework Implementation Team (PrepFIT)

• US Department of Homeland Security (PCII Data)

• Washington State Emergency Management Division (WA EMD)

Data Providers

RAPTOR(Real-Time Assessment and Planning Tool for Oregon)

• System requirements

– No software or hardware purchases necessary

– Accessible from any device with internet/cellular access

• Event configurable and customizable

• Secure and public access

• The following slides indicate actual events where RAPTOR was utilized for situational awareness.

Eclipse - Setting the Stage

• Eclipse event – 8/21/17

• Potential influx of people the weekend prior

• Major transportation concerns

• Area closures (USFS)

• Large populations

• Remote areas occupied

• State deployed resources

• Where are the eclipse events occurring?

• How many people are coming to the state?

• Where are resources pre-staging?

• Need for a centralized location for viewing and interacting with eclipse data

Primary Issues - Eclipse

• Working with state and local/tribal partners to identify specific data needs for inclusion in a statewide eclipse event layer

• Validation of information received from state partners with local and tribal jurisdictions

• Create statewide eclipse events layer

• Enabled community of emergency managers/staff, federal, state, and private/public partners to access and add information related to events across the state.

• Create new event configuration for RAPTOR – solar eclipse configuration

• Sharing of data to the public version of RAPTOR

Eclipse Solutions

• ESRI Geoformtemplate for upload of data from local/tribal/state/federal partners

• Updated master GIS data layer

• Template can be used for any future data gathering efforts (repeatable process)

Data Upload Template

Eclipse Events Layer

• Geoform accessible from OpsCenter (crisis management application)

• Eclipse events viewable in table format via OpsCenter (JavaScript page) – included select edit capability for authorized users

Eclipse Events Status Board

Solar Eclipse Configuration

• Included new data layers

• Live traffic (ESRI)

• Path of Totality

• Eclipse Events

• Current wildfires

• Central location for viewing eclipse data in combination with current conditions

Wildfire - Setting the Stage

• Ongoing eclipse event – 8/21/17

• Major wildfire threatening coastal community (Chetco Bar)

• Multiple fires with multiple evacuation notices ranging from level 1 (ready) to level 3 (go)

• Determining status of wildfire evacuations across the state

• Areas potentially impacted by wildfire activity

• How to stay up-to-date with constantly changing information, sometimes not aligning with ECC activation staffing patterns

• Different services/locations for GIS data related to evacuation areas – multiple AGOL services

• Share information to the public about evacuations in the state

Primary Issues - Wildfire

Chetco Bar Fire

Active Wildfires (8/21/17)

• Data Coordination• Working with partners to identify points of contacts for

each fire• Designated Statewide Fire Evacuation Layer

• Proper symbology matching ready/set/go color codes• GIS Server Access

• Granting access to data providers across the state to update feature services using assigned credentials

• Provided users with ability to update the state’s data when their evacuation areas updated

• Share evacuation area data to public information map (Public RAPTOR) and share to social media

Wildfire Solutions

• 5 sets of credentials assigned to local jurisdictions across the state for update of information

• Service urls sent to partners for inclusion in their web mapping applications and AGOL webmaps

• Consistent updates from partners across the state that were briefed within the State ECC and at specific coordination calls with the local partners

• Consistent reporting in situation reports to indicate the status of evacuation areas across the state.

• Strong social media campaign to highlight the efforts depicting both wildfire activity and eclipse information to the general public• BLM Tweet• OregonOEM Tweet• KATU Tweet

Results

Results (Eclipse Week)

Results (2017 Fire Season)

• Data Use Agreements

• Contact directory for GIS staff working in emergency management across the state

• Statewide Fire Evacuation Layer

• Social Media Presence (#ORRAPTOR)

2018 RAPTOR Initiatives

Data Use Agreement Purpose

• New additional capability to create and edit incident data– Enable GIS staff to use desktop mapping software to make

updates outside of RAPTOR

• Single location for incident data for statewide display– Common platform and location for data with common

symbols– Statewide layer of disaster/incident-related datasets

• Create a contact directory for GIS staff working with emergency management across the state

• Allow participants to “plug in” services into their own web mapping applications for sharing of consistent data

• URLs for services sent to partners for inclusion of fire evacuation data into their own mapping products, applications and public sites• ODF Structural Protection Map

• Consistent dataset showing evacuation activity within the state

• Social media posts highlighting the evacuation data within the public version of RAPTOR (#ORRAPTOR)• Positive news coverage indicating RAPTOR as a resource for fire season
