National Capital Region HIRAData Sharing Concept(October 10, 2006)

Technical Approach

– Base map: Common, consistent regional data• Local mapservice at MW-COG

– Jurisdictional data: Detailed local data• 3 WMS Service Providers

– “Add External Data” capability– Hosted by jurisdiction

• 7 non-WMS– Service hosted @ MW-COG

• 2 remaining – No data availability– Not included in HIRA project

Future Capabilities

• Maintaining current data @ COG– Database replication

• Increased data sharing capabilities– Data Exchange Hub

• Expand capabilities– Build upon EMMA platform to include

• WebEOC Integration• Geospatial Data Manager

• HSIP Gold Data

HSIP Gold

• State provides existing data. This data does not have to be geospatial, a list will suffice. For any given layer, it is highly likely that some agency within your state has an authoritative list for that layer.

• State sends letter (fax, email or conf. call can also work) to relevant officials (e.g. fire chiefs) letting them know about program and asking them to cooperate. Letter should give state level poc for officials to call if they have questions about the legitimacy of the program.

• TGS improves data. Most improvements are done by telephoning local officials to verify the name, address, phone number, and geospatial location of their facilities. Geospatial location is determined by asking the local official to describe their location relative to landmarks visible in ortho imagery.

• TGS incorporates improved state data into "License Free HSIP" and makes it available to the states.

• TGS incorporates improved state data into HSIP and delivers to NGA.• State considers sharing the improved data with the USGS.
