8 Project Scope Develop GIS data of field-identified damages Provide support to The Department of Public Works for coordination of repairs to obligated damages Multiple entities involved At least 50 A/Es estimated to perform repair work Continuing project support to The Department of Public Works and refinement of the GIS data

9 Benefits of the Geospatial Approach Supply visual aids for public outreach Visualization of FEMA project worksheet damages Provide planning-level project worksheet repair location data to designers Provide digital archive of project worksheet repair locations

10 Example FEMA Project Worksheet Field Notes

11 What We Used - Example PW Spreadsheet

12 Evolution of GIS PW Data Examples of PW Field Inspection Data

13 Evolution of GIS PW Data Raw GPS Points Collected by Jacobs/CSRS Field Teams

14 Evolution of GIS PW Data GIS PW Datasets Derived from Raw GPS Point Data

17 How Much Data There Really Was to Collect

18 Program Data Development Tasks and Timeline Phase II Assessments Data Entry from Assessments Field GPS Data Capture Develop/Refine GIS Data fromgps Data Website Dev. GIS/Mapping Support and Data Development

19 Coordination Efforts Keep the public informed of where work is projected to take place The Department of Public Works and Sewerage and Water Board have differing responsibilities Coordination with designers for staging and assignment of work Coordination of street repairs with Sewerage and Water Board repairs Use of GIS data to refine projections of areas where full or partial block repairs will occur
