Greetings

We are on for our call today to discuss the proposed disasters workshop and check in on our plans for the July 21 meeting sessions. Sean has posted notes from our last meeting: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/DisasterResponse_telecon_2016-05-12

Please note below are some initial ideas from co-chair Dave Jones regarding the workshop discussed last month. He’s aligned the workshop goals very nicely with the ESIP strategic goals related to our disasters cluster tasks. Also see the note from former co-chair & ESIP Pres. Emily Law about ThinkHazard from the World Bank for our consideration.

Talk to you soon!

Subject: RE: ESIP Disasters cluster - June 2 telecom?

Hi Karen,
Here are my thoughts on the workshop for our discussion on Thursday:

Data Driven Decision Making for Disasters, A Workshop for Operational Decision Making
This workshop is designed to bring together various decision makers in emergency management and the private sector to educate them on various data sets that are available that can be used for improved situational awareness and decision making. At a recent meeting that included State Emergency Management Directors, a question was asked “Do you have a plan that identifies your data needs prior to any type of threat and if so what is it?”

All of the emergency management Director’s present indicated that they did not have a plan (or had even thought about it) but also indicated that thinking about and developing a plan was a good idea. The ESIP Federation Disaster Lifecycle Cluster is focused on making data matter to address the decision making process. Specifically, the following core vision and values are identified below and are a part of the disaster Lifecycle Cluster’s strategic plan:

ESIP Vision and Values
To be a leader in promoting and applying the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge internally and externally to partner organizations so they can be ready, responsive and resilient to extreme events and disasters on a local, regional, national and international scale.

2015-2020 Strategic Goals
Goal 1: Increase the use and value of Earth science data and information
Task: Identify, promote and showcase trusted authoritative data sources/products for decision making across all member organizations.

Goal 2: Strengthen the ties between observations and user communities (e.g. technologies, research, education and applications)
Task: Work with user communities to identify the information flow model and observations/outputs needed to enhance their decision making.

Goal 3: Promote techniques to articulate and measure the socioeconomic value and benefit of Earth science data, information and applications
Task: Capture impact stories of how relevant data products and tools have helped decision making during disasters.

Goal 4: Position ESIP to play a major role in Earth science issues (e.g., addressing effects of climate change, adaptation, supporting sustainable science data infrastructure)
Task: Identify information model and technology that are relevant to science data infrastructure with the goal of streamlining the identification and provisioning of remote sensing data products to support the needs of different disaster types throughout the disaster life cycle.

All of the above goals are relevant to the proposed workshop and should work to engage all participants. We envision attendees from Federal Agencies, State Agencies, Universities and the Private Sector. Working toward a common goal should coalesce an approach to identifying datasets (and putting datasets to work) that can be applied to improve situational awareness and decision making across agencies and the private sector…and the ESIP Federation will be a catalyst in this area!

Sponsors for the Data Driven Decision Making for Disasters Workshop should include the All Hazards Consortium, ESIP Federation Disaster Lifecycle Cluster and a private sector partner or two. Dave can work on these sponsorships and we may be able to request funding from the FICOM to cover food, refreshments and maybe some signage. We may be able to hold the workshop at a private sector location in Washington, DC and see if they can donate the space and facilities. All of this including the title is up for discussion. I’d like to have everyone’s input before I contact the partners.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thought it would be timely to discuss the proposed workshop. Could you outline your thoughts regarding date/time/location and scope of topics? This would be a good starting point for people to think about content and contributions they can add.

What do you think?
Best,
Karen

Dear Disaster Lifecycle cluster,

My apologies for not making this Thursday’s telecom due to conflict. I will definitely be interested in participating in suggested ESIP Disaster cluster workshop. In addition, I would like to bring “ThinkHazard!” https://understandrisk.org/tool/think-hazard-online-resource-thor/ to your attention. I learned from the Understanding Risk UR) Forum about this open tool that provides users potential hazard likelihood for given location, and think that the group can collaborate and contribute.  If time permits,  I can give a short briefing of the UR Forum at our summer session and we can also have a "ThinkHazard!" discussion there.

Thanks,
emily

Hope everyone has a memorable Memorial Day Weekend. Our east coast run of upper west coast weather (i.e., rainforest) has finally broken and we’re hitting temps in the 90’s already. Sunshine is nice!!

For our June 2 meeting I’d like to discuss ideas for an ESIP Disasters cluster workshop that Dave has proposed. This in addition to reviewing our 2 sessions at the ESIP Summer Meeting in July.

Have a great weekend,
Karen

Greetings!

I’m just back from a marvelous month in Italy and France! Our May meeting, scheduled for today, needs to be rescheduled, hopefully within a couple of weeks. Turns out many of you are also traveling (maybe not all as relaxing as mine ;-)

When I get an alternate date for May set up I’ll send out an agenda and our gotomeeting link. Initially I’m shooting for next Thursday, May 12, at our regular 1:00pm PDT/4:00pm EDT time.

More details soon!
Karen

Our GoToMeeting agenda focuses on Goal 2 of our strategic plan:
Goal 2: Strengthen the ties between observations and user communities (e.g. technologies, research, education and applications)
Relevant Themes: Organizational Development / Communications / Community Engagement
Specific Objective: Identify and apply ES data to decision makers for use in (planning, adaptation, situ)

Agenda:

  *   Invited discussion with Phil Beilin, IT Lead for the CA Earthquake Clearinghouse, on related experience in engaging the disasters response community regarding disasters data products and services
  *   Report from Dave Jones on recent meeting with AHC (All Hazards Consortium) regarding datasets for disasters management
  *   Review our 2016 update to the Disasters Life Cycle cluster strategic plan<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdLGmlfU-1EEXQZjDz9snR9vWNgMV71enZxmEeU0MS4/edit?pref=2&pli=1#>
  *   Preparations for 2016 ESIP Summer Meeting<http://commons.esipfed.org/2016SummerMeeting>, July 19-22, UNC at Chapel Hill, NC. Session draft submitted
Transforming Earth Sciences Big Data into Actionable Products for Disaster Applications Part 1<http://commons.esipfed.org/node/9097> & Part 2<http://commons.esipfed.org/node/9098>

As part of the ESIP focus on updating  esipfed.org<http://esipfed.org/> about ESIP's committees and clusters, I provided the following draft for our cluster:

The purpose of the ESIP Disaster Lifecyle Cluster is to facilitate connections and coordinate efforts among data providers, managers and developers of disaster response systems and tools, and end-user communities within ESIP. The cluster has developed and exercised a Geo-Collaboration Testbed to evaluate disaster-related data products and engage emergency management information users, with an end goal of developing trusted data products as well as disaster information services. Cluster members have identified selected end-user collaborators (beyond ESIP) to provide insights to their information needs and challenges in providing disaster-related services. In addition to refining the testbed evaluation process, the cluster is considering what an ESIP-branded trusted product criteria will entail.

This is just a start and we may want to refine and augment to tie it to the ESIP Strategic Plan<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/2015-2020_Strategic_Plan>.

Best regards,
Karen and Dave, co-Chairs
