Purpose – GA.4.Disasters WGISS Project

• Work jointly with the CEOS Disasters SBA team to develop the GEOSS enterprise architecture for managing distributed systems and web services for disaster management.

• I: Answer questions regarding role of information systems and services in support of disaster management & risk assessment– Clarify scope of the disaster management enterprise– Promote a common understanding of its components and roles– Identify relationship of ongoing activities to the enterprise as a whole

(shortfalls, gaps, redundancies)

• II: Use enterprise architecture to guide implementation of proof-of-concept prototypes– Refine the enterprise architecture– Capture lessons learned and recommend standards

Scope

GA.4.Disasters Status

• Project start: June 2011, Serhiy Skakun & Karen Moe co-leads• Team established July 2011

– 22 on mailing list from 9 CEOS agencies, including members from Disasters SBA and International Charter, IC)

– WGISS GA.4.Disasters web site– 2 telecons, several interviews (IC processes, Disasters SBA results to

date, CEOS Supersites)

• Namibian Flood Pilot extension for 2012 flood season– Acquire near-real time data for risk assessment prior to flooding

conditions– Explore product delivery for use directly in the field and the role of

SERVIR-Africa node in Kenya– Calibrate models and compare to flood products from IC
