Infrastructure Recovery is a long-term effort. GIS is critical in cataloging damage, contamination, tracking health related impacts, and prioritizing effort.
CrawlFrom the beginning of a disaster, the implication is that recovery is coming. Preparing ahead for recovery means forging working (GIS data) relationships with partners that track infrastructure. These agreements mean that when it comes to recovery, you know where key infrastructure is and have the ability to assess its loss. Utility companies, governments, and even NGOs are key partners to have with GIS data. As a first step using GIS for Infrastructure Restoration, agencies will create paper maps that depict infrastructure locations and status, further analytical (printed) products show the geographic extent and magnitude of the impact and barriers to restoration. This mapping is iterative and cooperative and generally starts with the First Responder community and transitions to those tasked with rebuilding and managing to after-effects of the initial event. |
WalkPlanning for Infrastructure Recovery is the next step in the maturation of GIS to support the recovery. Almost all of the mapping – paper or online – that will be created during an incident can be created prior to the event. Good planning with infrastructure data means that you can mitigate and harden the infrastructure – or at a minimum, understand the problems your organization will face. Working hard on planning means that when it comes to the actual recovery, it feels more like you are working down a script that you have already rehearsed. |
RunAdding dynamic data flowing from other IT systems and from field observations is the final step in managing Infrastructure Restoration. This is primarily an integration task. It means that systems that track the status of infrastructure (pumps, power, sanitation, transportation, health) are able to report to your online mapping with status updates. This integration speeds the information flow and allows you to focus on restoration-related issues rather than focusing on trying to understand what is going on. There are lots of hurdles here – personality, security, fear, politics, etc – but generally, if you can assure stakeholders their information will be handled securly and appropriately, your partners will agree that sharing with Public Safety is truly a responsibility that they have. |
