• Key Implementation Strategies – Common Application Framework

for Department-wide use

- Standards Based Web Services for Department-wide Information Sharing

- Geospatial Services (WMS, Rest, etc.)

- Reporting Services

- UDOP Sharing

- Common security API to leverage existing HSIN IDM services

Using NPPD relevant news feeds, GeoSentry determines when incidents occur in user defined boundaries and sends timely notifications.

• Leverages existing DHS investments and capabilities

– DHS Infrastructure Asset List (IAL) data set

– DHS OneView Map Tools

– HSIN credentialing for authentication

• Provides mechanism to ingest data as relevant categories – (i.e. Event Type, Sectors, Owner, Facilities, etc.)

• User Driven - Customers “subscribe” to alerts based on their geography, facility locations, and type of information they are interested in receiving

Benefits

Provides a more relevant and location based method to collect and maintain situational awareness

Improves DHS information sharing and service offerings

Shortens the incident triage cycle

Compliments decision making and other DHS operational missions; NOC COP

GeoSentry Overview

A “Publish and Subscribe” capability that lets the user define what they want

to be alerted on and when.

• Location - What areas of the country are your concerned about? Gulf Coast;

• Asset Types - Who are you and what is your role? Nuclear Plant Owner/ Operator;

• Incident Types - What types of incidents are you interested in? SAR near my facilities…

• User Specified Proximity Watches

And Alerts – By news type;

– By location (static and user defined) • State, FEMA, PSA, & CONUS

• E-mail message alerts – Yourself and/or others

• Subscribe to other Users’ Watches

• Graphical Dashboard Interface

• Create Watch Wizard

• NPPD Related News Feeds/Map Layers (geospatial location)

Benefits of Focus on

Common GIS Framework

Increased Focus on Common Frameworks has led to:

• Rapid Development of New Applications

• Less investment in ‘Basic’ Capabilities and more time for mission-enabling functionality

• Common presentation across the enterprise

• Fewer bugs; improved software hardening

• Increased Satisfaction from Customers and Developers
