• MARC has Contracted with ESRI– Additional Centerline Functionality– Workflow Enhancements– Data Model Design
Regional Centerline
• MARC contracts with GeoComm for Centerline Maintenance
– Staffing– Hardware/Software– Data Model Design– Workflow Documentation
Regional Centerline
• Current Centerline Maintenance– Digital (GIS or CAD)– Hard copy– Cookie Cutter
Regional Centerline
• ESRI is Evaluating/Recommending– Data Standards– Data model similar to industry standard transportation
model– Workflow Enhancements

Regional Aerial Photography
• Developed consistent specifications• Mixed resolution • Cost allocation/sharing/reduction• Expected collection – Spring 2006
Proposed aerial

Regional Homeland Security Geospatial and
Data Server Strategic Plan
Why a Strategic Plan?
• Use GIS to support Homeland Security and Public Safety
• Homeland Security funding? – Urban Area Security Initiatives
• Homeland Security Geospatial Work group– Regional Homeland Security Coordinating Committee– KC Metro GIS
Initial Questions:• GIS data for the region? • Software to be used during emergencies? • Server Hardware needs?• Can we integrate with Federal level initiatives?• How can we secure long term funding?
Geospatial Homeland Security Strategic Plan
Regional Data Server Needs Assessment
Initial Questions: • What are the current or proposed regional public safety
applications?• Server hardware required to support these
applications?• System Support? Data Center, Personnel and funding.• Is there opportunity to share resources?
Initial Steps• Selected Consultant - PBS&J • Kick-off meeting• Individual meetings in each county plus KCMO• Adopted an “All Hazards” approach
Development of the Plan
Stakeholders
• Emergency Managers
• GIS and IT Managers
• Police and Fire Personnel
• State and Federal representatives
• Public Health
• Utility
• Hospital
Needs Assessment Methods• Individual community interview sessions• Survey of capabilities and resources• Data Inventory Matrix • Evaluation of Existing Preparedness & Response
Plans
Summary of Needs Assessment
• GIS capabilities vary greatly• Data and Aerial Photography vary greatly (except
roads and property data)• Software platform most used – ESRI• Several Communities Utilize WebEOC
• Sharing data across State and County Boundaries• Critical Infrastructure Data Layers – inconsistent• Relationships between GIS and Emergency
Management• Published standards for collection and development of
data.
Gap Analysis
Key Plans:• Regional Homeland Security Strategy Plan• Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan• Federal Planning - National Preparedness Goal
Synthesis of Multiple Planning Efforts
Regional Homeland Security Strategic Plan
• Planning and Readiness• Coordination and effective Relationships• Adequate Resources• Training and Exercise
Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan

Federal PlanningNational Preparedness Goal
Federal PlanningNational Preparedness Goal
All Hazards approach to national preparedness:
• Prevent
• Protect
• Respond
• Recover
• Collect the right GIS data• Make it sharable• Ensure its security• Integrate it into emergency operations
Geospatial Objectives
• Collect the right GIS data– Identification of key layers– Identifying who has what– Filling the gaps of priority data– Collection – methods and standards
Geospatial Objectives
• Make the Data sharable– Metadata
– Standards Naming conventions
– Software – Common Operating Picture
– Web Portals
– MOUs (data sharing and maintenance aggreements)
– Server needs (ownership, capacity, location, accessibility)– Connectivity needs
Geospatial Objectives
• Ensure the Data is Secure– Redundancy– Secure sites– Reconfigurable server and connectivity
Geospatial Objectives
• Integrate it into emergency operations – Daily uses– Training and exercises– Organizational structure– GIS Operations
Geospatial Objectives
Geospatial Homeland Security and Regional Data Server Plan
Next steps• Drafting a Strategic Plan• Education and Outreach Plan• Implementation Plan
– Priority of action items– Procedure for developing actions
