2 GIS Corps lcoordinates short-term, volunteer GIS services to the community lgis Corps and volunteers do not promote any commercial interests lvolunteer service is not for personal economic gain lvolunteer expenses are defrayed by the individual volunteer, the volunteer s organization, or the organization seeking assistance.

3 Goals for Project limprove geospatial capabilities on incidents by teams lprepare volunteers to use geospatial technology on incidents as appropriate lfacilitate documentation and electronic capture of information on incidents

Outreach to Search and Rescue (SAR) Community linitial volunteer response December 2012 lmeeting with County SAR Coordinators in 2013 and 2014 lrecognized by Ca Emergency Management

4 Outreach to Search and Rescue (SAR) Community linitial volunteer response December 2012 lmeeting with County SAR Coordinators in 2013 and 2014 lrecognized by Ca Emergency Management Agency (CaEMA) as volunteer resource for incidents January, 2014 lseveral GIS Corps volunteers were sworn in Presentation on GIS Corps initiative for SAR at SAREX 2014 in Napa, Ca September 2014

5 GIS and SAR Discussion lwhat types of assistance are needed from GIS volunteers lrole of GIS in your organization ltraining in use of GIS tools lprep of Minimum Essential Data Sets (MEDS) lresponse to missions laccess to on-line resources lhow to request assistance from GIS volunteers

6 SAR Standards at SAREX 2014 lmatt Sharper, CalOES, covered a variety of ASTM Standards for SAR lastm Committee F32 actively developing standards for Search and Rescue lconsistent with resource typing definitions and job titles/position qualifications l Not currently in FEMA RTLT

7 Some ASTM SAR Standards F1422 Standard Guide for using the incident command system framework in managing search and rescue operations F1846 Practice for Symbols and Markings for Use with Land Search Maps F2099 Standard Guide for Use of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Grids when Preparing and Using a Field Map for Land Search F1633 Standard Guide for techniques in land search F2209 Standard Guide for Training of Land Search Team Member F2662 Standard Guide for minimum training of dispatchers and telecommunicators of SAR incidents F1633 Standard Guide for techniques in land search F2890 Standard Guide for hazard awareness for search and rescue personnel

8 Issues implementing GIS with SAR leffective capture and reporting information for reporting and analysis lqualifications for personnel applying GIS to SAR incidents (Knowledge, Skill, Ability) Recognition of individuals qualified for l practicing GIS on a SAR incident lreporting to an incident within ICS framework

9 Example NJ SAR/GIS Progress Tracker lthree levels of SAR-GIS technician attainment lsome KSA's identified for separate levels llevels of attainment dependent on different software packages lthis limits ability to formulate tracker into an ASTM standard for SAR

10 Key Components of a Standard Guide for a SAR position lscope of the guide lsignificance and use lgeneral knowledge and skills lspecific knowledge and skills lterminology

11 Components of a Position Task Book (PTB) lposition identification and scope lcompetencies required for position with a clearly defined task list for documentation lksa's with event code (O, I, R) ldate and signature of evaluator ltraining requirements for position ltime period for currency with options for extensions lidentification of the authority having jurisdiction for certification of PTB

12 Questions on Development of Guides for Resource Typing lguide for knowledge and skills of GIS specialist for SAR Specific to wildland SAR or general for land SAR? lrole for Wide Area Search? lrole of a Position Task Book (PTB) for GIS and authorities for review? lrecognition of levels of attainment for GIS personnel? lfocus on Search or on Rescue? lsubmission of data to ISRID or other?

13 lfirst results published in Lost Person Behavior; Robert J.Koester ladditional Eco-Region data needed for: lwarn continental, US NE lprairie, US Great Plains lmediteranean, California lsw Desert letc.
