[Esip-disasters] 2017 Winter Meeting collab doc. & Monthly telecom Thursday Nov 4

Mon Oct 31 01:24:27 EDT 2016

Hi Disasters Cluster,

Its Halloween and the ESIP Winter meeting session proposals are due today. I’ve taken the notes at the web site and constructed two session proposals to capture the plans, copied below (and also updated the google docs web site in Sean’s email)

We need to discuss these at our monthly telecon this Thursday, Nov 3 to refine an agenda and determine how we might respond to David Green’s call for a timeline.

I don’t think we have any sessions posted to the 2017 Winter Meeting website, so unless I hear otherwise I will post these Monday afternoon. I’m sure we can adjust them as needed.

Best regards,
Karen

ESIP Winter Meeting 2017: Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities

Data Driven Decision Making for the Disasters Response User Community

The Disaster Life Cycle Cluster 2016 activities to better understand end user needs for satellite and related data products has resulted in lessons learned in key communities including the State of California (e.g., earthquake response) and utilities managers (e.g., mass power outage response). This session will recap key findings from the ESIP-sponsored Oct 27, 2016 Data Driven Decision Making (3DM) workshop in DC.  An update on the Fleet Response Working Group (FRWG) Testbed is planned to show examples for Hurricane Matthew use case. We also will see how the UAH Event Album is updated based on examples from Hurricane Matthew.  We will examine approaches to identifying Trusted Data criteria relevant to needs of the disasters response and risk management communities. Following the Cascadia Rising Exercise in the summer, we will get an update on the use of near real time and other data sets by partners in California. Next steps for additional 3DM workshops and webinars will be discussed to continue building relationships with user communities, including follow on efforts with the utility sector.

Near Real Time Data for the Disasters Response User Community

Following the NASA workshop on low-latency data products held in Sep 2016 at NASA Langley, more detailed information is needed to understand the timeline driving the decision makers in response to a disaster. The question is ‘what data is needed when’ so that data providers can be better prepared to supply the data products in a timely fashion. This session is planned to address decision-making data needs throughout a sample disaster event, such as Hurricane Matthew. The goal is to determine a timeline of data needs aligned with decisions that must be made from the earliest awareness of a disaster for incident planning and management, emergency and resource management, through to relief and recovery management. Such a timeline will help data providers design methods to assure that routine data and data products are readily discoverable and useable by identified users at specified times. Additionally, specific data must be requested (e.g., from other agencies) or tasked (e.g., from available satellites) such that they are available when needed, for example the media needs information at specific times for updates to inform the public. These non-routine products need to be collected and processed at key times by data providers and potentially some end users. National, regional and local organizations are expected to have their own timelines based on the communities and information needs they serve.

Subject: [Esip-disasters] Today's meeting notes + Winter Meeting collab doc.

Hi Disaster Cluster,

Here is the link to today's notes. We had a bit of a quick meeting, since everyone seems to be running around this week, but here are the updates.

http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/DisasterResponse_telecon_2016-10-06

Also important: here is a Google Doc for us all to share ideas for ESIP Winter Meeting Sessions for the Disaster Cluster. Please post anything you think may be useful/relevant (themes, speaker ideas, etc).

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YtsDwDdYhxc4ENizr8N59ntsxlAc2yA07FpuSuPfe5U/edit?usp=sharing

Lastly, the recording is converting, but I'll have it up on the normal ESIP page once it's ready.

Best,
Sean
