While GIS professionals in the State of Hawaii have done a good job in maintaining GIS as a viable technology and capability of supporting users in existing mission requirements (e.g., online maps, broadband service mapping, basic analytics), the efforts are largely fragmented and not unified in taking advantage of the additional capabilities of GIS in solving many mission needs that remain to be met. Hawaii GIS can solve many needs with additional new capabilities such as:
· "On-the-fly", direct, on-line, visualization, mobilization, socialization and business analytics of geo-coded information for decision-making and problem solving
· A unified registry to avoid duplication of effort and coordinate efforts more effectively
· New mobile applications that provide needed solutions quicker
· A geo-spatial governance that is nimble and responsive to customer needs and a marketplace for ideas
· GIS is included in the Life-cycle management
· An agile open architecture and platform to deliver services for Web 3.0/Gov 3.0
Next Generation GIS technology, processes and policies are here! We need to empower Hawaii users to use it - now! OIMT is soliciting input from all citizens on the State of Hawaii Business and IT Transformation Plan at
http://www.hawaii.gov/oimt
Get involved with the GIS groups to ensure Next Generation GIS is included in the plan!

Pacific Disaster Center, Kihei, HI
Disaster Management and Emergency Response I
Monday March 5, 2012 - 10:45 am to noon
In 2011, over 9 million people in Southeast Asia were affected by what were called the worst floods in more than 50 years. However, Vietnam and other countries in the region suffer economic and human losses every year as a result of flooding. Under funding from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) deployed VinAWARE, a web-based early warning and decision support system which was specifically designed for Vietnam, at the beginning of the 2011 storm season. The system was intended for use at national and provincial levels and the pilot focused on the coastal provinces of central Vietnam. This presentation will illustrate how dynamic meteorological data and model outputs were transformed into customized flood hazard notifications and meaningful information products used to support disaster management decision making. VinAWARE, like PDC’s flagship technology DisasterAWARE, enables users to analyze, integrate and share hazard information and other relevant data such as infrastructure and population through a web-based interface.

On March 11th 2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, one of the 5 most powerful in the world, triggered a destructive tsunami along the coast Japan, propagating across the Pacific from Alaska to Chile. Approximate wave heights ranged from 5-14 meters in Japan with some reports significantly higher in Iwate Prefecture, Hawaii was inundated by 1-3 meter waves. This presentation will look at how the Pacific Disaster Center's DisasterAWARE platform was utilized to support early warning, evacuations, and the on-going response to the disaster in both Japan and Hawaii. DisasterAWARE, PDC's web-based decision support system, continually listens to data sources for hazard warnings around the world, providing real-time, multi-hazard monitoring, risk, and exposure estimates. The platform then disseminates warnings through the use of the internet, social media tools, and smart phones to ensure the public and disaster management professionals are informed of the hazards and potential impacts.

Approximately 60 bridges have been identified as potentially scour critical in the state of Hawaii based on observed or anticipated conditions at the bridges. These studies allowed the Hawaii Department of Transportation to prepare a Plan of Action (POA) for each bridge, which includes a scour vulnerability assessment and recommended actions, including a bridge closure plan.
Bridges involved in this effort cross waterways ranging from large, sand-bed rivers along the coastline of Oahu to the steep, rocky Hamakua Coast on the Big Island. Several bridges further inland are located on steep, cobble and boulder streams. A number of bridges on the historic Hana Highway on Maui are also included, with construction dating from as early as 1912. Drainage areas range from less than 0.5 km2 for some small coastal bridges to nearly 650 km2 for the Wailuku River (on the Big Island), which is subject to not only riverine scour, but also to scour from a tsunami-generated tidal bore.
Arc Hydro and ArcGIS were used to determine the areas contributing to streamflow at each bridge and flows were developed based on flood frequency gage analysis, regional regression equations, or published FEMA flows. Scour vulnerability of each bridge was determined by a detailed hydraulic analysis using HEC-GeoRAS and the HEC-RAS hydraulic model. Based on the scour vulnerability and foundation material and type, a POA was developed specific to each bridge describing procedures for Hawaii DOT personnel to follow during high flow events to ensure public safety.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District (USACE) completed a reconnaissance study to assess potential hydroelectric power sources across the State of Hawaii. The goal of the study was to compile existing information about potential sites identified for hydropower energy development and provide an assessment of the applicability of various hydropower generating technologies in Hawaii. GIS was used to support the assessment of the power potential of existing, retired and proposed traditional hydroelectric plants in the State. GIS was also used delineate areas preferential to ocean energy development through low-level marine spatial planning, screen potential sites based on environmental and social criteria as well as to visualize the results of the study. The study methods and key results will be presented, with an emphasis on how GIS and existing geospatial data at the State level were leveraged to complete the state-wide reconnaissance of hydroelectric power potential.

Cyberinfrastructure (CI), viewed as the coordinated aggregate of computer hardware / software and other technologies which change data into knowledge systems, has great potential for connecting science with policy by facilitating rapid, effective delivery and integration of information to decision makers about the dynamic state of human-environment systems at global scales. Coupled with GIS, CI is enhanced with adding functionality for spatiotemporal database management, spatial analysis and modeling, visualization and extended support for virtualized problem solving applications such as Spatial Decision Support (SDS). We will present an overview of such an end-to-end platform, The Research Cyberinfrastructure Core (RCC), developed through NSF EPSCoR funding to the Center for Conservation Research and Training at UH Manoa. Housed on a high-performance, distributed computing server cluster managed by The Pacific Biosciences Research Center, the RCC integrates the use of wireless sensor technologies for environmental monitoring, Grid computing with 3D geospatial data visualization / exploration, GIS-based Spatial Decision Support and a secured Internet portal user interface which is being applied to enhance natural resource management activities in the Hawaiian Islands.

Disaster Management and Emergency Response II
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Having a clear picture of unfolding situations on the ground is a vital element in determining fast and effective responses to major emergency incidents. However, during the last decade significant natural disaster and terrorism events have revealed serious deficiencies in the timely provision and sharing of critical information. Operational complexity combined with the shear volume and diversity of data sources and types, mean key information is often not available when it is most needed to inform decision making and improve outcomes.
Technology adoption requires an approach that integrates various systems to work together to provide the user agencies with a coherent solution. By utilising a geospatial computer-aided dispatch system as an integration platform, alarms, sensors, cameras and video feeds can be fused with operational data to form systems to meet evolving ‘all hazards' mitigation needs. This presentation will illustrate some of the key examples of these requirements and how geospatial technology is being deployed in anti-terrorism force protection, major event security, transportation security, and the protection key national infrastructure.

Emergency Management web-based GIS applications require flexibility for adaptation to constantly changing requirements during an emergency event. Designing and building a modular framework system that addresses common functionality across environments and customized to specific user needs can speed development and deployment of applications, as well as, modifying applications without downtime or significant user training. Using case studies at the federal level with customers such as the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the Social Security Administration, we will demonstrate how this concept of a "common approach" can be implemented. Examples include: How to leverage application level permissions using Active Directory, building and integrating geoprocessing services specifically designed for emergency management, and common GIS functionality such as query, add layers, and batch geocoding on the fly.

Invasive Species Management
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Hawaii has one-third of the endangered species in the United States, and invasive species pose the greatest threats driving these and other native species toward extinction. At the same time, invasive species pose huge threats to Hawaii’s watersheds and water resources, tourism-based economy, agriculture, health, and general quality of life.
Kauai Invasive Species Committee (KISC) is a partnership of government, private and non-profit organizations working to eliminate or control the most threatening invasive plant and animal species in order to preserve Kauai’s native bio-diversity and minimize adverse ecological, economic and social impacts. KISC has developed adaptive management strategies to control targeted pests. By driving these management plans using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), strategies can be quickly analyzed and modified to assure efficiency in the dynamic world of invasive species control.
There are many factors that go into managing invasive species; reproductive rates, time of flowering, seed longevity, methods of spread, rainfall, terrain, elevation, survey type (ex. aerial vs. ground), effectiveness of control, and more. These factors can all be analyzed using GIS to determine suitable habitat, determine management units, schedule re-visitation and treatments, prioritize surveys, evaluate effectiveness of field operations, and predict unmitigated spread. Also, by utilizing mobile GIS in the field we are collecting more accurate data while making better informed decisions on the ground.
GIS technology is the perfect tool in driving invasive species management strategies. By leveraging GIS we are ensuring our effectiveness in the protection of our vital resources from the invasion of invasive species.

Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Google Maps have had a tremendous impact on the GIS industry. Google Maps is an impressive application and is commonly used here in Hawaii as a supplement to desktop GIS systems. It offers fast, responsive, and nicely rendered maps. It also offers the developer a well-documented and well-understood API. However, most GIS users have made a large investment in data themselves. Wouldn't it be nice to have the same Google Maps functionality but using individualized data instead of Google's? Creating individualized Google-like Maps is not difficult as long as the necessary components are understood. The key is to understand the map stack. There are four major components to the map stack - the browser UI, tile cache, WMS service, and GIS data. In this session, the speaker will begin by with a brief discussion of how Google Maps work and then will examine each component of the map stack.

Internet GIS
Monday March 5, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
Many organizations today build mapping applications using ArcGIS Server and technologies like Flex, HTML/Javascript, and Silverlight. Historically these mapping applications only needed to be viewed on a traditional desktop, but increasingly there is demand to view them on mobile phones and tablets, using iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. With varying levels of support across these platforms for each client technology, what is the best way for GIS administrators to build applications that can be viewed cross-platform by the greatest number of people? What happens when HTML5 gains greater acceptance in the coming months?
With growing sets of mobile users, administrators are forced to balance browser compatibility issues with limited resources to build and maintain platform-specific applications coming from multiple software vendors. This presentation will introduce the concept of a Spatial Application Infrastructure (SAI), a more efficient way to build and maintain cross-platform mapping applications. This session will also explore the benefits of using an SAI, and include a live demonstration of building these types of applications using ArcGIS Server and Geocortex software.
