Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
Maps and more …Much faster to understand data
Adopting from Sahana CRMT
Community Resilience Mapping Tool provides coalition members with the opportunity to create maps of their neighborhoods that can be overlaid
Help make communities better prepared with good information about their situation
System brings together 2010 Census Data, 2011 American Community Survey data, USGS and California Geological Survey Hazards
data, FEMA flood zone data, 70,000 points of interest within LA County:
schools, churches, health facilities, government offices, municipal services, social services agencies, arts and recreation facilities
Emulating a 2M Sea Level Rise Event
Affects of Alert Area Template
Pamono landslide hazard map
Save the alert polygon in CAP_area_template GIS layer
Use those template names as a separate attribute to auto fill the <areaDesc>, <geocodes>, <polygon>
Coverage of emergency communications networks

Exercise instructions
1) Form four (4) groups based on less to most technical/domain
2) access the software through your browser: http://cap.aidiq.com/eden/gis/index
3) Login not required
4) Zoom in on West Coast USA
5) Visualize vulnerable populations: - Hazards ---> Sea Level Rise - Census data ---> Age 67-79 and Disabled
Exercise – generating an alert area
1) Who will be you working-group and what are the organizations part of the working group?
2) What are your geographical boundaries and area descriptions?
3) Consider a hazard and determine the availability of necessary hazard specific data? If not available how would you source it?
4) What census data will you require? If it is available who would have it? If not available how would you source it?
5) Given an example of a hazard specific vulnerable population and the resilience factor you are interested in?
6) How is done in your country now?
