An Essential Need

“In importance, information resources were

second only to the courage of first responders

and to mature leadership.”

Al Leidner

NYC Geospatial Coordinator

The Principle is "Where"

Population Growth Washington, DC - Baltimore

Issues Affecting Nations, Communities & Citizens - Happen in Places

Emergency Response

Wild Fire Management

Data Paradox

Too Much Data Not Enough Information

What Do We Need?

Geographic Information that Anyone, Anywhere Can Readily Access, Plug In and Use For Any Legitimate Purpose With Confidence That Is Current, Accurate and Nationally Consistent

Core Challenges(Especially to State and Local

Communities After 9/11)

Access Needed To Data Immediately Develop and Maintain More Essential Data Define New Access Considerations Assure Data Accuracy, Timeliness, Quality Manage Data Tsunami Address Data Distribution Policies Survive Budget Shortfalls Overcome Institutional Barriers (Herd Cats)

Develop Data Coordination Strategy

Local data needed for daily business operations is the same data needed by other jurisdictions and levels of government, as well as for HS and to protect CI

Mission-critical national initiatives need the same data

Unprecedented opportunity for collaboration to align roles, responsibilities, and resources

Yet, enormous challenge

What Did You Tell Us It Will Take?

A Community Mandate• Build National Resources From Bottom Up• Create Partnerships• Get Everyone Around the Table• Best Partner Develops and Stewards Data• Develop and Implement Consensus Standards and

Specifications • Share Data Collections• Transparency and Accountability • Align Roles, Responsibilities and Resources• Pool and Leverage Investments

Identify Thematic Elements

Framework (Base Map) Physical Infrastructure Finance and Banking Health and Public Safety Internet and Computer Systems Military and Energy Facilities Arenas and Public Spaces Human-built systems that are essential to the safety,

security, health, and economic well-being of modern society

Data Strategy For Homeland Security (and Everything Else)

Identify thematic requirements Inventory assets Identify gaps Develop core content standards Identify Metadata needs unique to HS Develop interoperability specifications and semantic

WHAT IS THE I-TEAM PROCESS?

Collaboration Coordination Alignment of Resources Effective and Efficient Organization of

Production and Stewardship of A Portion of America’s Data Assets

WHAT IS AN I-TEAM ?

Locally Formed, Interdependent Inclusive, Voluntary, Open State, Local, Federal, Tribal, Academic, Private

Sector Expanded from Existing Collaborations Brand Name to Help Build Executive and

Legislative Branch Awareness

What Do I-Teams Do? Address Institutional Barriers Identify most effective ways to collect, maintain and distribute Data Determine business needs, inventory data assets, identify gaps, estimate

investment cost Designate data stewards Develop Enterprise Plans (I-Plans) for Data Production and Publication by the

Most Appropriate Partner at Accuracy and Scale Needed by Local Jurisdictions Provide Plans To OMB, Agencies, DHS

Role in Coordination

I-Team Plan Information Submitted to OMB and Federal Agencies

I-Teams Mobilized to Support National Missions, and Missions Focus Coordination

Homeland Security, Emergency Services The National Map Census TIGER Modernization FEMA NFIP and Disaster Mitigation Interagency Geospatial Preparedness

I-Team Role Essential and Continuing

Aid State/local participation in Geospatial One-Stop

Work with OGC on Cutting Edge of Technology (Semantic Translators and Exchange Schemas, Web Services)

Help OMB and Agencies in Budget Process Enable Role, Responsibility, Resource Alignment Provide, Steward, and Export America’s Data

Assets

How It All Fits Together Producers, users steward America’s data assets NSDI - the infrastructure Geospatial One-Stop - a Presidential initiative to accelerate

completion of the infrastructure I-Teams - a process to help produce and steward data The National Map, Census Modernization, FEMA NFIP,

HSIP - Programs that can use I-Teams to produce products to fulfill essential national missions and foster coordination

The products are available through and become part of the infrastructure to use for HS, EMS . .
