The Lower Green River Valley Project: Lessons Learned
h j li dThe project was complicated
• The flow of data and information was arduous
• Data came from multiple sources, at different times and in different formats
• Issues of confidentiality of personal information when used for emergency planning are complex, unclear
W h d 3 4 th i d t f t ti l iWe had a 3‐4 months window to prepare for a potential emergency in the Green River Valley
• Most emergencies occur with little or no advance warning
• Vulnerable populations are all over the state, many in rural or otherwise hard‐to‐reach areas
• The state needs: —A central repository of timely, accurate and well‐integrated data about its vulnerable populations
—Tools to turn the data into information for decision‐makers

Our Long‐Term Goal
d l hi f i S ( S)To develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) on
• Residential location and functional needs of people served by DSHS • Location of DSHS offices and critical staff‐service providers• Areas prone to natural and man‐made disasters
To be ready to provide necessary information to DSHS and EMD
• Whenever a disaster happens and for planning purposes
• Anywhere in the state• Close to real timeClose to real time
• In accordance with applicable privacy laws
First step: to develop and build a preliminary statewide GIS

• Planning and preparation for disasters potentially affecting DSHS clients with access and functional needs
The EM‐GIS will provide information about DSHS clients with access and functional needs for:
—All Washington State’s jurisdictions (cities, counties)
—Custom‐defined geographic areas (neighborhoods, health planning areas, travel zones)
