Some activities to cover…
1. US National Grid 2. Virtual USA3. Geospatial Assessment Tool for
Operations and Response – GATOR4. KML for Google Earth5. E-Plan6. Incident Mapper
3
United States National Grid
• Lessons learned have taught us that standardized grids are needed for positional reporting.
• As far back as Hurricane Andrew, problems were recognized for emergency managers...
4
Florida Adopts the USNG• USNG was adopted by the FFCA
• FDEM to adopt the USNG in the States CEMP
• Florida Fire College, Florida Fire Chiefs Association, FL National Guard to develop curriculum and instructor manuals
• Modules incorporated into Firefighter II curriculum
5
FEMA Adopts the USNG• Near term priority approved by
Administrator Fugate
• Establish a standard for FEMA operational maps using the National Grid
6
What’s wrong with current systems?
We already have…
– Latitude/Longitude
– Township/Range/Section
– Street Address and Zip
– “Bingo” Grids
7
Latitude/Longitude
Multiple formats are confusing
DD -85.990151, 30.272240
DM -85 59.409089, 30.16.334386
DMS 85 59’24.545”W, 30 16’20.063”N
All the same location!!!
8
How far is a second anyway?
What is the distance from….
85 59’24.545”W, 30 16’20.063”N
To here….
85 59’26.292”W, 30 16’14.546”N
9
Township/Range/Section
Township/Range/Section grid from the Public Lands Survey System is an important and good system…
– basis of land ownership records
– been in use for over 180 years
10
Township/Range/Section
• But a perfect section really doesn’t exist
• irregular in coastal areas
• too large to meet needs of ground crews
11
Street Address and Zip
• Problematic due to…
– rural routes
– post office boxes
– House numbers missing or obscured
12
• What do you do when the SIGNS are gone?
13
• What do you do when the ROADS are gone?
17
• Developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the 1940s
• A position on the Earth is referenced in the UTM system by the UTM zone, and the easting and northing coordinate pair.
Abbreviated as “UTM”
16R 766000 3364820
Universal Transverse Mercator
18
• is the geocoordinate standard used by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for locating points on the earth.
• is derived from the UTM grid system, but uses a different labeling convention.
Abbreviated as “MGRS”16R GU 66000 64820
Military Grid Reference System
19
• Practically identical to MGRS.
• Difference is the datum – MGRS uses WGS84, which USNG uses NAD 83
• Coordinates reported identical.
Abbreviated as “USNG”16R GU 66000 64820
United States National Grid
20
USNG• it has the advantage of being easily plotted
on USGS topographic maps by using a simple "right and then up" method instead of having to plot from right to left when using latitude and longitude in the Western Hemisphere. The coordinates are also easily translated to distance since they are in meters. Thus the distance between two coordinates can quickly be determined in the field.
22
16R GU 66000 64820
How to read USNG
100,000 Meter Grid – identification for regional areas Grid Coordinates –
Easting and Northing position
Grid Zone Designation – for a world-wide unique address, identifies the longitude zone number and the latitude band letter
23
16R GU 66000 64820
16R 17R
Truncate for locality
• just like you don’t have to dial an area code to make a local call…• all Florida locations will be 16R or 17R
24
16R GU 66000 64820
16R 17R
Truncate for locality
• 100,000 meter zone designation may be dropped when working locally
25
Truncate for less precision…
Locates within 1000 meters66 64
6600 6482 Locates within 10 meters
660 648 Locates within 100 meters
66000 64820 Locates within 1 meter
16R GU 66000 64820
26
USNG
• Easily scaleable
• Pin-point and cell
based locational reporting
• “Grid within a Grid”
27
Global Positioning Systems
• I have GPS……..why do I need to care about any of this?
– USNG can be used with GPS
– GPS supplements USNG
– USNG will work when your GPS won’t
28
USNG and GPS
• Most GPS units explicitly support USNG as an option for units
• If you choose USNG, you must also choose NAD 83 as your datum (or technically, you haven’t chosen USNG)
• You may also choose MGRS with NAD 83 to be the functional equivalent of USNG
29
Support for USNG• http://www.floridadisaster.org/gis/usng
– tools and instructions for GIS staff
• FDEM’s GATOR– new mapping website with USNG tools
• FDEP’s Incident Mapper– simple Google Maps mashup with USNG tools
