Problem Statement Hurricane storm surge

and wash of sand and debris inland frustrates clean-up effort

Heavy Equipment damages fixtures covered by debris and sand

$9 billion spent by federal government in mitigation efforts since 1998

50% or more of the damage inflicted on critical utilities during the clean-up effort

Page 3: Geospatial Mapping of Coastal Communities of Alabama:  Value Created by Collaboration

Current ConditionEach utility company

has print or electronic maps in different formats

Little coordination during clean-up effort

No information sharing system in place to deliver plans to clean-up personnel

AU-EDA Project GoalsProblem Benchmark / Goal

There is no regional model of infrastructure data sharing among multiple partners in coastal regions.

•Identify issues related to data storage, sharing, and security•Sign MOAs with cities & utilities

Critical community infrastructure data needs to be collected, stored and backed up as new buildings, roads, and utilities are installed.

• Collect & store infrastructure data from multiple partners in the Alabama coastal community• Upload data to Virtual Alabama

During a disaster, ad-hoc facilities and practices often bypass physical and access controls used under normal operations.

•Identify members of recovery team• Retrieve stored data effectively•Train members of the recovery team on effective use of the GIS data• Mark infrastructure elements right after a disaster

Mapping the Coastal Communities of Alabama

27 Auburn University Students Collect Infrastructure Facilities Data in Gulf

Shores, Orange Beach, & Dauphin IslandJanuary – April 2010

Page 9: Geospatial Mapping of Coastal Communities of Alabama:  Value Created by Collaboration

Training Provided to Students Prior to Being Deployed at Site

• Student workers were provided hands on training from team leaders on how to use the Topcon-GMS2 units

• Student workers were provided instruction manuals on the units to reference while working in their groups of two.

• Lastly, student workers were provided an icons list, so they could easily identify infrastructure elements while working on site.

Future Plans2 more weeks of data collection

during April by 5 teamsData collection by a smaller team

during summer & fallUpload data to Virtual AlabamaProvide data to city & utilitiesDevelop training materialsTrain appropriate personnel on

use of GMS-2 units & retrieve data

Benefits: Student LearningStudents get to work with GIS

technologiesGive back to communityLearn ArcGIS and other

technologiesImprove communication skills Improve team working skillsEnhance leadership skills

Page 19: Geospatial Mapping of Coastal Communities of Alabama:  Value Created by Collaboration

Benefits: Advance Productivity, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship

40% of reconstruction costs can be eliminated if geospatial data are available on-line

Time to recover from damage is expected to be halved due to the availability of these data

Will make economic impact of this project very attractive

The concept of geospatial mapping of a coastal area is innovative;

Project team members learn to apply theories learned in class to solve a practical problem
