1 GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS SPECIALIST FOR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

2 Incident Command System A standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept. Co-ordinates ordinates multiple agencies to make a combined response more effective, safe, and efficient. Agencies and their personnel should understand ICS before going out on an incident.

3 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM STRUCTURE Situation Unit is a part of the Planning Section Member of the Situation Unit

4 Wildland Fire Incident

5 Pre-Assignment Responsibilities Make sure you have your supervisor s s permission List yourself in the Resource Ordering and Status System (ROSS) system as Available Be prepared

6 Equipment General Office Supplies GPS unit Laptop Software

7 WORK ENVIRONMENT Sesnon Fire Incident Command Post (Conejo Creek Park)

8 GISS RESPONSIBILITIES Transfers field observations and infrared interpretation to a digital geo-referenced format. Downloads GPS data for integration into the incident database. Produces original copies of Situation, IAP, briefing, transportation, situation/planning and progression maps in a timely manner. Calculates fire statistics, such as acres and length of line, based on GIS data. Performs daily back ups of incident GIS data. Delivers spatial fire perimeter data for distribution to regional and national coordination centers.

9 WHO S S COLLECTING THE DATA? Field Observers GISS

10 DNR GARMIN Shareware created and maintained by staff at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. This extension was built to provide users the ability to directly transfer data between Garmin GPS handheld receivers and various GIS software packages.

11 FIRE INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TOOLS Utility functions Perimeter Sector Tools FireLine Tools FirePoint Tools FIMT is based on the Incident Command System (ICS). Created to help standardize the creation of maps used to support a fire incident. Assists GISS in the management of GIS data required to produce maps that support a fire incident. As part of FIMT, a standardized geodatabase model was developed for storing fire incident features. Provides a consistent framework for all fire GIS personnel using FIMT tools.

14 Map Products Incident Action Plan Map Briefing Map Operations Map

15 Incident Action Plan Map Communicates the tactical and geographic features of an incident to operations staff working out in the field or on the fire line. Primary map used by operations personnel. Supplement to the Incident Action Plan. Generally 1:24,000 scale Typically 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17

16 Briefing Map Enables operations staff to brief personnel assigned to upcoming operational period. It is not uncommon for a briefing map to be 72 X 72 or 4 E size pieces of paper. Tiling techniques are typically used.

17 Operations Map Large-Format map E size (34 x 44 ) Communicates the tactical and geographic features of an incident to operations staff working out in the field or on the fire line.
