Class Outline
• Overview/ background on ERMA• Review data found in ERMA• Show a few examples of ERMA
capabilities• Try an example scenario• Discuss next steps in development
and user needs
ERMA Background• ERMA was developed as a joint project
from the Coastal Response Research Center and NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration
• Caribbean ERMA was funded through EPA region 2
Continuum of “Response” for the OR&R
Emergency Response Division
(ERD)
Response(24 hours)
Restoration - Recovery(Years to Decades)
Assessment and Restoration
Division(ARD)
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words…• Diverse datasets
can be interlaced on a single map to better visualize a the complex nature of an area
Concept for ERMA Open Source, Web-based mapping tools
Planning & Analysis
Integrate & Analyze Information
Improved Communication & Coordination
ERMA Functional Requirements
• Easily accessible• Field, Command Post, External Offices
• Quick to display• Complementary to Digital ACP project,
and other systems; integrates ‘one-plan’ concept
• User friendly interface• For the non-GIS experts
• Secure, multi-tailored password protection• Public interface• Responder interface• Super-user interface
ERMA Capabilities• Various data types
• Static – Existing agency data lives on ERMA• Real-time – Streams into ERMA from external
servers (WMS, WFS)• Data upload & download
• Easy to share most up-to-date data via single interface
• Tools• On the fly map labeling • On the fly regions of interests• On the fly layers management

sizes
Practical Implementation of ERMA
• Assist with spill preparedness • Display jurisdictional boundaries,
specially regulated areas, areas of socio-economic importance
• Access points for cleanup• Staging areas and command centers• Regional documentation, points of
contact, etc.
Practical Implementation of ERMA
• Assist in coordinating response efforts• Visualize magnitude and extent• Triage sites for action• Track progress of clean-up • Access real-time data• Upload data from the field and access
forms• Increase communication
Practical Implementation of ERMA
• Define the extent of potential impacts• General habitat and land use
information• Areas of biological significance - haul
outs, rookeries, nesting grounds, essential or critical habitat
• Species-specific data - biological resources in the region - threatened or endangered?
• Where is there current monitoring data
Practical Implementation of ERMA
• Assist in Recovery and Restoration• Access existing environmental
monitoring sites• Assist with sampling design• Inventory restoration projects• Locate long-term monitoring sites• Coordinate with regional projects

Spatial Data Layers• GRPs- (historic versions digitized and currently being
updated)• Environmental Sensitivity Index (PR
and VI)• Marine Protected Areas• Socio-economic features• Habitat Classifications• Regional specific data (ESA coral,
contaminant monitoring, ???)• Imagery• Navigation Charts (Raster/ Electronic)
• Weather Observations and Buoy Data
Next Steps for ERMA?• Caribbean ERMA • Enhance tools and print functions• Stand alone version for static data• Acquire more datasets????
• SONS exercise support in New England
• Puget Sound ERMA
