Why GIS For NYC

Data is key to using information technology
Almost all data has a geographic component
Velcro: Address, Parcel, Building # connect

data

NYC has 50 agencies all using geodata
Each agency with dozens of databases
Three unaligned digital maps: $30 M

SLIDE 3

Data Discrepancies:

Problems using Multi-Datasets

♦ Mismatching Data- Data DO NOT Line- Up ♦Crisscrossing LION, Administrative Blocks (COGIS), &

Ortho. CL Photos.

Modern History of GIS in NYC

1995: Agreement to create basemap
1996: Aerial photography flown
1997: Compilation of basemap begins
1999: Basemap completed
2000: Creation of Citywide GIS Utility
2000 - present: Implementation

Creating the EMDC

Volunteers from NYC’s GIS community join the EMDC staff to relieve (exhausted) City and consultant staff

AKRF, American Museum of Natural History, Baker Engineering, Columbia University, Community Cartography, Davis Associates, Hunter College, Malcolm Pirnie, NYPIRG, Parsons, Rockland County, SpaceTrack, Urban Logic, US Census Bureau, Verizon, Westchester County . . . . And many individuals

Examples Of Collaboration

Military Units guarding vital facilities

– detailed mapping needs

FEMA USAR and Mapping Teams

– NYC basemap plus their know-how

State photos, Federal thermals, NYC

basemap, State fuel tank and freon data

Problems and Issues

Building inspections: 6 inspecting agencies

– $70 versus $2 for Building # ID

Environmental Testing

– Clashing data and collection techniques

Offer to sell vital infrastructure data

– Cost: $100K’s – Not registered to NYC basemap

SLIDE 34

Special Projects

BIN Numbers

Matching Building Identification Numbers with Building Footprints Enables using tabular databases of inspection reports to thematically map structural damage around Ground Zero Requires verification using multiple sources including COGIS, GeoSupport, Sanborn maps, and sometimes field verification. BIN matching for Manhattan, south of Canal Street begins – will take 4+ weeks to complete and pass QA. BIN matching for midtown Manhattan begun in mid-October. Methodology developed at EOC will be applied to a citywide BIN matching project that is on-going at Hunter College.

Major Lessons Learned

Everyone Must Contribute Their Strengths

– Local, State, Federal, Utilities, NGOs, etc.

Everything Created Beforehand Proved

Essential: What Wasn’t Hurt

In Importance, Information Resources Were

Second Only To The Courage Of First Responders and To Mature Leadership

SLIDE 36

Things To Do

Register ID’s to building footprints
Build traffic routing DB
Acquire mobile data centers with telecom
Pre-arrange For aerial photography
Implement wireless, field units with GPS
“Deep” Infrastructure modeling capacity

SLIDE 37

Things To Do

Strategic data survey
Examine options for preparing communities
Improve data liaison at EOC
Work collaborative with media
Table Top and simulation exercises
Create I-Team regional databases
