9:00am Basic Hands-On GIS Training Part 1: Introduction to Web GIS for Public Safety

Training is designed for participants that have little to no experience using web based GIS software. During this training, participants use their laptops to complete a series of hands-on training modules to develop skills fundamental to using web-based GIS for basic public safety planning and operations, relevant across all disciplines and levels of government. Participants will be provided with an ArcGIS Online account and sample training data. Below are topics that will be covered:

Overview of available data

Convert street addresses into spatial data

Display converted street addresses asfeatures

Geocoding in web GIS

Symbolizing data in web GIS

Use basic routing features

Instructors: Milton Ospina, Sr. Account Executive, HERE Chris Rogers, Lieutenant, Kirkland Fire Department (WA)

Intermediate Hands-On GIS Training: ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online Training for Public Safety Training is designed for participants that use GIS software regularly and are relatively new to ArcGIS Pro. Participants use their laptops to complete a series of hands-on training exercises using ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and open data to develop products for use by decision makers in public safety preparedness efforts and response operations. Participants will be provided with a temporary ArcGIS Pro license, ArcGIS Online account, and sample training data. Below are topics that will be covered:

Overview of ArcGIS Pro

Utilize modeling outputs from otherresources in ArcGIS Pro

Publishing maps created in ArcGIS Pro toArcGIS Online

Accessing and using open data

Data Preparedness Workshop

This workshop kicks-off with 2016 lessons learned in local and state data preparedness and geospatial coordination as a starting point for identifying and prioritizing core information and data needs. The workshop progresses into a HIFLD Community Meeting for gathering requirements to inform the implementation of the HIFLD program.

2016 Lessons Learned in GISCollaboration and Preparedness fromCalifornia: Phil Beilin, GIS Coordinator,City of Walnut Creek (CA)

Core Information Requirements: WorkSession to identify and prioritize coreinformation and data needs to supportpublic safety operational workflows.

HIFLD Overview & Uses: Learn how the400+ HIFLD data layers can be accessedand used to fill core informationrequirements and provide inputs onneeds and priorities.

Executive Seminar: Present and Future State of Situational Awareness Capabilities In partnership with US Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security This Executive Level Education Seminar provides participants with an opportunity to engage in a tabletop exercise that is based on a real-world incident scenario based on a complex coordinated attack. The seminal questions that will be addressed:

What is the 5-year vision for public safetyGIS capabilities? What emergentchallenges will GIS be required to address?What are the necessary elements toaccomplish this vision?

What constitutes a next generationsituational awareness capabilities? Howdoes public safety move from the currentstate to mature capabilities?

What does the future hold for GIS tocontribute to predictive analytics,specifically as concerns complexcoordinated attacks and asymmetricscenarios?

Workshop: Strengthening Community Resilience through Location-Enabled Data, Technology, and Analysis 1:00pm-4:30pm In partnership with the US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation

This workshop is designed for first responders and local/state GIS leaders. It serves to:

Gain a common understanding of thecurrent state of geospatial maturity

Share challenges and obstacles in furtheradvancing implementation

Identify and discuss needs, requirements,and potential solution sets

4:30pm-6:30pm

Map Gallery Competition & Networking Social NGPS participants are invited to share examples of your work! Together we’ll build a diverse collection of public safety cartography. The NGPS Map

Gallery will allow you to demonstrate your work to other participants, and act as a barometer for the current state of public safety mapping. Reserve a spot in the Map Gallery Competition, all submissions are due by July 1, 2017.

10:00am Functional Exercise and Stress Test NGPS culminates on day-3 with a functional exercise that is developed around a specific incident scenario.

Purpose: To facilitate a better understanding among and between operators, decision makers, and GIS practitioners on decision points essential to promoting operational coordination, and the data, analysis, products, and technology requirements needed to support effective decision making.

In breakout groups, participants are assigned a geographic area & agency to represent and individual roles that they simulate during the exercise. GIS Practitioners apply the technical skills and insights gained in the first two days, and stress test their individual capability in developing the

decision support products needed by operators and decision makers. Meanwhile, Public Safety Operators and Decision Makers exercise their ability to use GIS-based decision support products during the operational periods in the exercise and provide feedback to the GIS practitioners
