Bosque_All_Hazards_Runbook_Esri_Presentation_2017

• Background of Fires in the Bosque• History of Previous Runbooks• Transition to New All-Hazards Runbook• Challenges Coordinating Data Collection • Process and Challenges Compiling and

Presenting all the Information• Bringing it Together to Enable Emergency

Response in the Field

2007 Fire Runbook

2010 Fire Runbook

All-Hazards Working Group Partners• Albuquerque Fire Dept., City of Albuquerque Open Space

Division, Bernalillo County Fire Dept., Town of Bernalillo, Village of Corrales Fire Dept., City of Rio Rancho Fire Dept., Sandoval County Fire Dept.

• Mid-Region Council of Governments, Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, NM Gas Company, Alb. Water Authority, Public Service Company of NM

• Santa Ana Pueblo, Sandia Pueblo, Isleta Pueblo• GIS Service Providers from each participating organization

Updates to Data• Extensive updates of new data collected from working group partners

and other authoritative sources

• Fire stations expanded, verified, and given identifiers recognized by regional Fire Departments

• Fire hydrants expanded and additional water sources for fire fighting identified

• River miles and boat launch locations added to assist river rescues

• Bosque bridge access points identified, verified, and characterized for vehicular or pedestrian access and load capacity

Updates to Data, Continued• Gas line and Jetty Jack locations, hazards to response personnel,

added and updated

• Bosque weather stations located and identified

• New high-hazard areas of concern for fires identified

• New 2016 high-resolution imagery added as a base map

• The large variety of data from the multiple agencies collected into a file-geodatabase and organized in datasets by jurisdiction

• Metadata added to each feature class to record the source agency, contact information, and any modifications done by USACE

Updates to Map Design• Title updated to reflect expansion of purpose to fire fighting and river

and trail rescue

• North and South extents expanded to include jurisdictions of new partnering agencies

• Features determined to not be of use by field personnel removed

• Symbology updated to enhance readability of important features to emergency response

• Map labeling simplified to include only necessary text and positioned not to interfere with important spatial features

Updates to Map Design, Continued• Bridge access and fire department drop-point locations numbered and

summarized in tables by address and other key characteristics

• New high-hazard area focus maps with emergency contact numbers added to back of Runbook

• Iterative map versions produced and reviewed by the Working Group

• Map pages brought together into a single data-driven map book with page angles set to follow the Rio Grande and symbol angles used to orient feature symbology

• In addition, the Runbook subdivided into color-coded reaches for easy reference in the field

Bringing it all Together• Final maps produced as high-resolution pdf files and further

processed in Adobe Acrobat to embed fonts, flatten overprints and transparencies, then provided to a professional printer to produce 250 bound books on light and water resistant media.

• Printed Runbooks have been distributed to all emergency response field crews from the participating agencies

• Additional georeferenced map book hosted through a pdf web service by the Albuquerque Fire Department for access on mobile devices and launchable via a QR code on the printed Runbook

Content of the All-Hazards Runbook

• Key access points into the Bosque• Locations of hazards to field personnel• Location identification features such as mile markers and river miles• Locations of assets such as water sources and boat launch sites• Key features of concern such as schools and high-hazard areas
