Esri ArcGIS 10.1
Monday March 5, 2012 - 10:45 am to noon

ArcGIS 10.1 will make it simpler to put mapping and geospatial analytics into the hands of more people without requiring that they be GIS experts. One of the most important aspects of this release is that ArcGIS users will be able to deliver any GIS resource, such as maps, imagery, geodatabases, and tools, as a web service. Come to this presentation to learn more about how this new release of ArcGIS will help you expand the use of GIS throughout your organization as well as help you become more efficient and effective.

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.

The Hawaii State Department of Health's Environmental Health Administration (EHA) has made great strides with GIS and geospatial technologies in recent years. EHA has integrated GIS capabilities into several applications to enhance finding and viewing environmental information across the state. We will showcase three separate systems developed at EHA that utilize GIS and geospatial tools.

EHA implemented an Environmental Health Warehouse in late 2009. This warehouse extracts information from the administration's environmental and health systems, reconciles the points of interest, and presents a holistic view of the data to consumers. A spatial inquiry system is used to find and explore known environmental information within locations and areas.

The Safe Drinking Water Branch designed and implemented a custom map viewer application, providing county and environmental health specialists ways to query water system, facility and sample point information. The solution also provides field users with a way to improve locational data with GPS-collected coordinates using custom mobile software on Trimble handheld devices.

The Clean Water Branch (CWB) created a custom water quality data viewer that gives internal and external users access to water quality data and beach warnings, advisories and postings. The system also includes a mapping utility that helps the CWB quickly and easily define affected locations and areas.

EHA has integrated ArcGIS Server technologies into many of its systems available inside and outside of the organization, often overlaying ArcGIS server layers over GoogleMaps as well as deriving geopolitical data to enhance the search capabilities of its inquiry tools.

Mobile GIS at Maui Electric Company

Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm

Co-administrators, Jamie Legsay and Carol Kennedy, have been using GIS to document the electrical network at Maui Electric Company. Their current challenge is to make the resulting information available digitally out in the field where it can be further verified and used by field crews. This enables the GIS Administrators to quickly respond to updates from the field, allowing changes made to the electrical network to be reflected in a matter of a few days versus weeks or months. They will discuss the hardware and software they have selected as a mobile solution. A demonstration of the way personnel interact with the technology will highlight the strengths and weakness of their mobile product.

Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm

The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has developed a tool for the collection of National Flood Insurance (NFIP) inspection data. This tool enables data to be collected on a mobile device for inclusion into a standard database. Once on the database, the inspection data is used for analysis and reporting. The tool has several GIS capabilities built in, including the ability to find your location, view and analyze a map, and retrieve attribute data. It is designed to be user friendly and intuitive for inspectors. An overview of the business process, workflow and tool capabilities and features will be presented.

MERCI (Mobile Emergency Response and Command Interface): A Mobile Situational Awareness System for Emergency and Disaster Response

Disaster Management and Emergency Response III
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm

Events immediately following a natural disaster are often chaotic and frenzied as time and resources need to be quickly allocated and dispatched to areas hit the hardest. An assessment of damage needs to be gathered to accurately document the magnitude and impact of an event, as well as to verify if supplemental assistance is required. Oceanit's MERCI (Mobile Emergency Response and Command Interface) system is a platform technology developed for the Hawaii State Civil Defense that enables two-way communication of information so that better decision-making can take place after a disaster.

MERCI includes a mobile data collection app enabling responders to collect multiple data types (text, photo, video, GPS) using a mobile handheld device such as an iPhone or iPad2. FEMA-based damage assessment forms can be completed in the field while emergency managers back at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) have a geospatial view with a real-time dollar value of total damage. Important points of interest (POI's) such as historical events can be pushed to the mobile device's map view to provide the early responder with field-level situational awareness so that they are not going into a new operational environment ‘blind.' Information is securely uploaded to the EOC where it can be analyzed, collated, and queried, enabling decision-makers to quickly identify the worst affected areas, damage trends, disruptions in public services, and to prioritize recovery activities.

GIS for Utilities II
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 3:15 to 4:30 pm

A presentation to discuss the many benefits associated with introducing Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and data into the mobile workforce for Utilities. Rather than reviewing the mobile technology itself this presentation will review some of the work flow advantages while exploring key areas where the Return-on-Investment (ROI) analysis can be developed. Automation combined with enterprise data not only changes the working behavior of the mobile workforce itself but also shifts the data ownership and responsibilities within the organization, creating a more effective enterprise workflow.
