State of Florida – SERT and Civil Air Patrol (CAP) geotagged photos, FDOT aerial photos, commercial

NOAA – NOAA aerial photos, contracted aerials

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) – satellite imagery (commercial/military), must be coordinated through FEMA, NGA and/or FEMA may activate Interagency Remote Sensing Coordination Cell

FEMA – contracted aerials, CAP photos, request data from NGA

USGS – Remote Sensing Work Group coordinates products like US satellite data (Landsat, SPOT, EagleVision) , some licensed data, may activate International Charter (for international space agency satellite data)

Perils of Flood LegislationPeril of Flood, SB 1094 - http://laws.flrules.org/2015/69 - was approved by the Governor 5/21/15. This legislation deals with coastal management plans and flood insurance.

As it relates to surveyors, it will require licensed surveyors and mappers to complete and submit elevation certificates to the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) within a specified time period (starting 1/1/17 - within 30 days of completion of the certificate, it must be submitted to FDEM).

It also encourages local governments to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System administered by FEMA to achieve flood insurance premium discounts for their residents.

Community Rating Systemhttp://www.floridadisaster.org/mitigation/CRS

The National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) recognizes floodplain management and outreach activities performed by communities that exceed the NFIP minimum standards. CRS, a voluntary program, recognizes these efforts by reducing the cost of flood insurance premiums by 5 to 45 percent for flood insurance policies in communities that participate in the CRS. The CRS recognizes 19 creditable activities organized under four categories:  Public Information, Mapping and Regulations, Flood Damage Reduction, and Warning and Response.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

Agency for State Technology has organized an Enterprise Geographic Information Systems Work Group

May 28th – introductory meeting held

June 11th – first business meeting held Charter drafted Workgroup chairs elected –

THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

STATEWIDE GIS COORDINATIONWORKGROUP PURPOSE, JUSTIFICATION

The purpose of this workgroup is to be the collaborative vehicle employed by the Florida Geographic Information Systems (GIS) community to advance enterprise strategies and coordination through a unified voice.

Florida has a significant investment and utilization of GIS supported by information technology professionals. Informal communication and coordination have been achieved through multi-jurisdictional and multi-sector regional user groups, sharing data to support emergency management, and an effective GIS managers meeting between water management districts and state agencies involved in water resources and framework data layers including hydrography, transportation, elevation, cadastral, and orthoimagery. This workgroup seeks to formalize and further these efforts.

THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

STATEWIDE GIS COORDINATIONSCOPE Develop and implement a business plan that advances the alignment of

current GIS strategies toward a Florida enterprise service orientation and provide additional GIS services

Identify opportunities for enterprise cost and operational efficiencies associated with GIS

Improve collaboration and information sharing

Promote the benefits that GIS can provide to agencies not currently using GIS

As appropriate, pursue any budgetary needs through the annual appropriations process

As appropriate, pursue statutory language or administrative rule

THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

STATEWIDE GIS COORDINATIONNEXT STEPS

Website coming on Agency for State Technology website - http://www.ast.myflorida.com so efforts may be monitored.

Membership is open to all interested parties at this time.

First efforts likely to be focused on – enterprise licensing, training, and policy and procedures for state

agencies

outreach regarding vibrant statewide GIS community and resources open data and GIS data downloads mapping websites, services, and applications tie into existing metadata inventories
