GT Strategic Plan• Released in Fall 2004• Commonwealth GT Vision• Agency Direction/Coordination• Collaboration with Local

Governments• PAMAP Imagery Project• GT Statewide Data Priorities• Enterprise Projects/Strategy• Tactical Approach

PA Geospatial Data Sharing Standards

• Version 1.0 Data Standards reflect PAMAP/TNM Data Layers (Topo)

• Highest Common Denominator for data sharing, horizontally and vertically

• V 1.0 leveraging investments by PAMAGIC in PAMAP Data Standards initiatives and best practices for local government handbook

• Incorporating additional fields for use cases, HSIP, classifications, etc.

Enterprise Assets• Imagery

– USDA FSA/NAIP – Statewide 2004– PAMAP – ongoing, 3 year cycle goal

• Digital Elevation Model• Enterprise GDT License• GT Enterprise Architecture

– Citrix server for desktop GIS access– Centralized data repository– Web services – intranet and Internet

Operating Picture

Statewide Real-Time Weather Data

• Recent experience – 3 tornadoes, hurricane season, flooding, major transportation accidents in 2004 due to fog and snow/ice

• Required for severe weather events, natural disasters, SARA facility toxic releases, terroristic WMD/CBRNE events, etc.

• Need for REAL-TIME weather data in PA to provide local conditions

• Enterprise license, best-of-breed solution being pursued for real-time GIS weather data, including real-time sensor network in PA, GIS data servers in multiple locations for inclusion in GIS applications and plume models.

• Includes NOAA/NWS forecast data and imagery in addition to real-time data for NEXRAD storm cells, composite radar imagery, satellite imagery, surface observations, current conditions, etc.

• Access by all governments in PA – state, county, municipal, first responders

• Tied in with State 800 MHz radio system/AVL• Proximity alerts, severe weather alerts, current

conditions, forecasts, and nowcasting
