23Regional Homeland Security Geospatial and Data
Server Strategic Plan
24Why a Strategic Plan?
- Use GIS to support Homeland Security and Public
Safety - Homeland Security funding?
- Urban Area Security Initiatives
- Homeland Security Geospatial Work group
- Regional Homeland Security Coordinating Committee
- KC Metro GIS
25Geospatial Homeland Security Strategic Plan
- Initial Questions
- GIS data for the region?
- Software to be used during emergencies?
- Server Hardware needs?
- Can we integrate with Federal level initiatives?
- How can we secure long term funding?
26Regional Data Server Needs Assessment
- Initial Questions
- What are the current or proposed regional public
safety applications? - Server hardware required to support these
applications? - System Support? Data Center, Personnel and
funding. - Is there opportunity to share resources?

28Development of the Plan
- Initial Steps
- Selected Consultant - PBSJ
- Kick-off meeting
- Individual meetings in each county plus KCMO
- Adopted an All Hazards approach
29- Stakeholders
- Emergency Managers
- GIS and IT Managers
- Police and Fire Personnel
- State and Federal representatives

- Utility
- Hospital
30- Needs Assessment Methods
- Individual community interview sessions
- Survey of capabilities and resources

Plans
31Summary of Needs Assessment
- GIS capabilities vary greatly
- Data and Aerial Photography vary greatly (except
roads and property data) - Software platform most used ESRI
- Several Communities Utilize WebEOC
32Gap Analysis
- Sharing data across State and County Boundaries
- Critical Infrastructure Data Layers
inconsistent - Relationships between GIS and Emergency
Management - Published standards for collection and
development of data.
