Abstract
Pre- and Post-Disaster Data Collection in North Carolina Track: Disaster Mangagement and Emergency Response Author(s): Sarah Wray, Tara Aims This project includes analyzing the requirements needed to collect, inventory, update, and archive the GIS data available for use in the state of North Carolina during a disaster declaration. The project focuses on the top five "greater hazards" as defined in the State Hazard Mitigation Plan: Flooding, Earthquakes, Wildfires, Hurricanes and Coastal Hazards, and Severe Winter Weather. This project analyzes the requirements for developing procedures to assess Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps using data collected post-disaster. This project includes the following activities: review of existing GIS data and resources available from public, private, state and federal sources; review FEMA disaster operations to determine what data is needed throughout the disaster assistance operation; perform stakeholder interviews; identify the IT requirements necessary; and compile the information gathered into a final requirements documentation set.
