Emergency Shelter System
The ONUMA Planning System (OPS) is set up to support scenario planning.
OPS allows for massive collaboration with a wide range of users.
In the San Francisco Shelter Database Project, ONUMA
customized a system to support the documenting and management of
hundreds emergency shelters. Shelter sites were cataloged and then made
available for access by authorized users.
The ONUMA Planning System was one of the key components that
supported the Open Geospatial Consortium OWS 4 project to connect
geospatial data and building information modeling data using open
standards based web services.
Some of the features of the ONUMA Planning System for
Emergency Shelters Include:
- User interface to to speed up data collecting and use.
- Real-time data collection on site to allow for team
coordination.
- Live links of data to Google Earth for visualization.
- Access to data through PDAs and web-enabled phones.
- 2D and 3D views in Google Earth to show the location of
shelter support facilities.
- Use of Web 2.0 functionality and Web Services to connect to
other data.
- User interface to support self documenting features.
- Shelter point of contact ability to validate data.
- Mock scenario planning or for actual disaster relief.
Shelter Locations in Google Map, Data is live from OPS. As
new site surveys are entered by field teams they appear on the map
automatically. During an emergency the same interface can be used to
manage releif efforts.
Web interface to manage shelter site data. Field teams can
enter data direclty. The online forms guide users to relevant sections.
The interface is set up to be used with minimal or no training. User
