| Definitionskos:definition | Disasters are geographic events and, therefore, geospatial information, tools, and applications have the potential to support the management of, and response to, disaster scenarios to save lives and limit damage. The use of geospatial data varies significantly across disaster and emergency communities, making the exploitation of geospatial information across a community more difficult. The issue is particularly noticeable when sharing between different organizations involved in disaster response. This difficulty can be mitigated by establishing the right processes to enable data to be shared smoothly and efficiently within a disaster and emergency community. To do this requires the right partnerships, policies, standards, architecture, and technologies to be in place before the disaster strikes. Having such a set-up will enable the technological and human capabilities to quickly find, access, share, integrate, and visualize a range of actionable geospatial information, and provide this rapidly to disaster response managers and first responders. For over 20 years, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has been working on the challenges of information sharing for emergency and disaster planning, management, and response. In Disaster Pilot 23 (DP23) the aims were to: develop flexible, scalable, timely and resilient information data workflows to support critical disaster management decisions, enabling stakeholder collaboration; and provide applications and visualization tools to promote the wider understanding of how geospatial data can support emergency and disaster communities. The Disaster Pilot Provider Guide describes the technical requirements, data structures, and operational standards required to implement the data flows or tools developed in DP23 and Disaster Pilot 21 (DP21) where participants have worked on disaster scenarios relating to the following. Droughts Wildland Fires Flooding Landslides Health & Earth Observation Data for Pandemic Response Case Studies have focused on the hazards of drought in Manitoba, Canada; wildland fires in the western United States; flooding in the Red River basin, Canada; landslides and flooding in Peru; and pandemic response in Louisiana, United States. The participants have developed a series of data specific workflows to generate either Analysis Ready Datasets (ARD) or Decision Ready Indicators (DRI) alongside a number of tools and applications to support data discovery, collection, or visualization. Annex A describes the tools and applications developed within the Pilots along with technical details and the benefits offered similar to the data flows. The Guide finishes with details of future possibilities and where the Disaster Pilot initiatives could focus next. Annexes B to E give descriptions of the data flows developed, including technical details of input data, processing and transformations undertaken, standards applied, and outputs produced with details of the aspect of disaster management or response supported, benefits offered, and the type of decisions assisted with. The Provider Guide is one of three Guides produced within DP23 together with the User Guide and the Operational Capacity Guide. While the Guides are separate individual documents, the Provider and User Guides work together, mirroring each other in terms of structure. The Operational Capacity Guide is a stand-alone document effectively underpinning the other two. |
