2012 Emergency Track, Using Remote Sensing and Web Based Mapping Technology for Emergency Response...

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

In the evening hours of Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 the Waldo Canyon Fire destroyed over 350 structures in Mountain Shadows, a Northwestern Subdivision of Colorado Springs that sits in the wild land-urban interface. This single event led to the Waldo Canyon Fire being considered the most destructive Wild Fire in Colorado history. The Governments and Utility GIS organizations were working 24 hours a day in support of the community providing maps and other geospatial information of the damage areas. To support the government community and wildfire response teams, Sanborn deployed an emergency response service that used remote sensing and web based technologies to provide maps of the disaster area. This presentation will focus on the events that led up to this disaster, a firsthand experience of evacuation, provide a timeline of the fire response, discuss technologies used by Sanborn including VisionMap’s A3 camera, ESRI’s Map Service and Leaflet. Furthermore, the presentation will focus on how the data was/is being used by the Government(s) and Utility organizations for both tactical and recovery efforts.

Prevention and Risk Mitigation • Multi-Spectral Imagery and LiDAR provide the following

datasets that are used for identifying risk

– Vegetation (Fuels), Slope, Aspect, Population

Tactical Response During a Fire

• IR Flights were conducted nightly

• The USFS uses Common Operating Picture Technology

with AVL to manage assets such as aircraft and wild land

fire teams

Emergency Response After

Containment • Ortho imagery and burned vs. unburned classification is

the primary need for GIS Specialist on the BAER (Burned

Area Emergency Response) teams to assess damage

• If damage is on non-Federal land City, County and State

have significant interest in data as well

• Issues:

– Speed of delivery is very important

– Data distribution to the government and public is difficult

– Public access to information for evacuees

Fire Emergency Response After

Containment: Case Study • Sanborn Completed acquisition of 4 to 6-inch pixel resolution imagery

for the entire Waldo Fire Burn area on Thursday July 28th, 2012

• We needed a solution that would enable a flying height that would

allow us to avoid tactical aircraft

• We needed a solution that would allow for the shortest timeframe for

data acquisition and post processing with a 24 hour turn around time

• We decided to test and VisionMap A3 camera system for this

application

Emergency Response After Containment

• Final ortho product met expectations!

• Geometric accuracy was remarkable good considering NED source

DEM

• Color saturation met expectations

• Building lean was less than traditional methods due to longer focal

length lens

• Cost and Schedule to product was at least 70% of traditional methods

for completing the project

Remediation and Risk Mitigation

(Post Fire) • LiDAR is used for volumetric calculations in erosion areas and can be

used in engineering design for remediation structures.

Life Cycle of Remote Sensing

Technology for Wildfire Applications • There is hope for recovery and we will cycle back to prevention and

risk mitigation in the next 20 years.

• Hayman fire area already has significant understory growth and

Aspens groves reaching 10-feet tall

• The first house in the Mountain Shadows area started to rebuilding

yesterday
