Using GIS for Search Ops MapSAR slides courtesy of Jon Pedder
Why GIS? Maps are key to SAR missions Limitations of current methods Data management Planning & analysis Situational awareness Field mobility Collaboration Benefits Time Integration with other platforms Resource Management Archival/History MapSAR slides courtesy of Jon Pedder
Supply and Demand Demand for Information Availability of Information Time UN OCHA Crisis Information Paradox, The Crisis Leader
The role of GIS in ICS Planning Digitize search assignments Print assignment maps Print briefing maps Load assignments onto GPS units Re-group GIS Briefing Download and plot GPS tracks and clues Update assignment status Debrief Operations Provide Ops and Search Teams assignment maps Skip section?
What makes up MapSAR / IGT for SAR? ArcGIS Desktop software Esri supports SAR teams (501c3 non profits) + SAR-specific add-ons to software Training manuals, webinars, videos
GIS creates dynamic maps Stores your local data in layers Maps are dynamic showing only what you need Stores data that describes the map locations
GIS maintains your data Your local data Trails and trailheads, landing zones, streams, roads, ridges, preplanned assignments* Helps create new data Organize, up-to-date, portable, and accessible
Spatial Analysis for SAR Statistical Search Area Mobility Model Elevation Difference Model Find Location Model Track Offset Model Hazardous Terrain Model Don Ferguson and IGT4SAR
After the search Debrief/Media materials Archive Database saved for historical reference
But who needs that?
What No internet? Working offline Base Data (MED) Simple needs electricity, laptop, printer No printer PDFs can be transported Keeping your stuff ready to deploy Connect to ArcGIS Online once internet becomes available

» Search GIS should be incorporated before, during, and after an operation GIS is not just for Planning Section anymore Search Theory will evolve with GIS» Rescue GIS can be used to optimize access and transport routes Think outside the box» Prevention Collect geographic information Use maps to raise awareness Participating in a GIS Supported Operation does not have to be difficult!
