Notes from 2017 Winter Meeting Disaster Sessions
Near Real Time Data for the Disasters Response User Community
2pm Disaster Cluster Session (Karen leading - Dave Jones remote)
Presentation & Discussion with David Green/NASA Applied Science for Disasters
Outcomes of NASA applied science efforts and 2016 workshop on low latency data needs
- Addressing need for a timeline of disaster response efforts
- Recent workshop on low latency datasets for time-sensitive applications (104 participants)
- definitions of near realtime (low latency)
- 0-1 hours (realtime)
- < 3 hours (near realtime)
- 3-24 hrs -
- NASA ESD endeavors to provide low latency data when small cost
- NASA ESD mission to provide non-real-time data may outweigh near-real-time
- definitions of near realtime (low latency)
- NASA Mission support for NRT is secondary and considered as needed
- Created an inventory of NRT - lots of datasets. How to identify/search/discover, and usable
- Earthdata.nasa.gov - useful for NRT if you know how to use the site, but not so much for others
- Recommendations for discoverability were prepared
- Establishing a Latency Working Group
- focus on use cases - how to address response “workflows”
- need for “hazard” datasets (maybe special processing for low-latency datasets)
Questions/Comments
- Phil Beilin in CA clearinghouse - how to get involved with latency project?
- GSFC (name?) - has similar ideas to help identify relevant datasets for types of event
- David looking at how the DAACs can do a better job of providing disaster relevant data
- Gary Foley EPA - working with anyone from EPA? - some on ecological hazards - need more links
Presentation by Maggie Glasscoe/JPL - Earthquake activities
Cascadia Rising 2016 - Exercise Timelines and Product Deliveries
- Pre-defined events so timeline is known in advance - for purpose of exercise, but not reacting in realtime
- FEMA national level exercise - M 9.0 quake in Cascade Subduction Zone
- Upcoming Haywired 2017 (USGS) exercise
- Timeline of the event - showing when various data sets are available
- MSEL - master scenario event list - chronological order of events and injects that drive exercise play
Questions/Comments
- Phil Bellin - cross-agency participation
- David Green has the cluster been involved with exercises - participants, but not the cluster per se
- David - emphasizing participation in exercises - recommended and useful, NASA has a south American exercise planned for later this year
- (GSFC) will there be a call for participation in the exercise(s)? Funding available for staging or participating in exercises
- Gary Fowler - can we get the data to the onscene coordinators? Important aspect.
Presentation by Tom Moran/AHC (All Hazards Consortium)
Fleet Response Working Group activities with ESIP
- Coordination of utility outage response - between 30-120 responding organizations
- using Storm Center’s GeoCollaborate application to help organize and expose the data for response
- Testbed Project - getting response data to the participants
- realtime weather/forecasts
- state emergency declarations - must be in trucks to cross state lines
- electric sector fleet movement info
- live data updates from businesses - worked through liabilities
- Open/closed status of private sector businesses (fuel, food, hotels, etc)
- Dave Jones comments
- evolved from ESIP testbed activity
- leading to definition and identification of “trusted” data sources
- need better ways to discover the datasets
- need to address timeline issues discussed earlier
- Improving Resiliency with better data - Data Driven Decision Making (3DM) - workshops
- screen sharing approaches - leader/follower approach
- private sector owns the technology and allows government participation
- exploring NASA (and other) agency data that will be useful - in response to use cases
- David Green comments
- pick subset of decisions to address - e.g. Haiti earthquake was too complex with too many variables to be a good use case to get good results
