The category 4 storm reduced many beachfront towns to rubble, and storm surge flooded large swaths of the state.\r\n\r\nThousands of people living aboard boats posed an early concern, because the storm surge coincided with the highest tide that month, and hundreds of boats were pushed deep into the mangroves.\r\n\r\n\"That kind of search was never done before,\" said Mike Zielonka, a captain on Orange County Fire Rescue, Florida Task Force 4 (FL-TF4). \"Searchers sent up a drone when they got close to each boat to see if it was even inhabitable. That way we wouldn't sacrifice a person wading through really hazardous conditions if a search wasn't needed.\"\r\n\r\nFlorida Task Force 4 focused on large liveaboards, ranging from billion-dollar yachts to shrimp boats, conducting hundreds of searches in hard-to-reach places. Zielonka and team used postimpact aerial images to drop waypoints indicating the next boats to search and forwarded a live map to teams that spread out by boat and bushwhacked through mangrove thickets. \"The map helped us make sure we covered our bases so we could be very accountable for the areas we searched,\" Zielonka said."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[557252,557312,557322]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The FL-TF4 team and more than 20 other search and rescue teams used a suite of tools called the Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform (SARCOP) to collect more than 108,000 field observations. The toolset enabled them to segment search areas to be covered in 12-hour shifts, show tracks where each team had been, and drop icons to indicate what was found or done. The situational awareness gave each team as well as coordinators at the state and federal levels the means to stay informed and adjust quickly to cover places where people might be found.\r\n\r\n\"It made for a better use of teams, not duplicating efforts,\" Zielonka said. \"I have a long list of the names of the storms I've been to over the years, but as far as severely impacted coastal areas, Fort Myers, south Sanibel, and south Pine Island had the most damage I've ever seen. The storm wiped the sand clean of structures, leaving behind just piles of sticks.\""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3><strong>People, Process, Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nSARCOP has been ten years in the making, with a team made up of geographic information system (GIS) practitioners from the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation, funding and support from the US Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology (DHS S&amp;T), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and solution engineers from Esri who refined the toolset over the course of many disaster events.\r\n\r\nSARCOP takes a people, process, technology approach to search and rescue. It pulls together ArcGIS mobile applications (including Survey123, QuickCapture, Field Maps) and ArcGIS Online in a wrapper built with ArcGIS Experience Builder to capture search and rescue workflows. SARCOP provides a system that\u2019s ready to go, works right away, and is designed for use throughout a wide-area-search incident, such as floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes.\r\n\r\n\u201cThere have been a lot of smaller deployments, like in Texas where they used SARCOP more than three different times this year for wildfire, tornadoes, and flash floods,\u201d said Paul Doherty, emergency management specialist (geospatial) at FEMA. \u201cThose no notice events are important because there is less time to prepare, so having a common system ready to go really makes a big difference for first responders.\u201d\r\n\r\nFor Hurricane Ian, Florida\u2019s whole US&amp;R system adopted SARCOP for the wide area search that took two weeks. The local adoption is a key to the success because each disaster starts and ends locally. FEMA coordinates with others and lends support, but it doesn\u2019t lead the response to disasters. Over the years, FEMA has invested in SARCOP and worked alongside the NAPSG Foundation, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and others to create a common platform to lift up all search and rescue responders who don\u2019t have the ability or funding to build something like this themselves."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[557232,557342,557362,557352]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Jared Doke, who works closely with Doherty as a program manager for NAPSG Foundation through a grant from DHS S&amp;T, spoke to efficiency gains and how the tool has evolved. \u201cSeveral years ago, in Louisiana we had a state team and a federal team that were drawing search and rescue segments over each other, going to the same places, and we didn\u2019t know that until the data started showing up,\u201d he said. \u201cBefore we had the ability to draw segments on a map, teams were overlapping, not knowing others were there until they\u2019d bump into them on the streets.\u201d\r\n\r\nDuring recent events, with SARCOP adopted by more teams, the search gets done much faster because there\u2019s little overlap.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>View\u00a0<\/em><i>this animation to see how the search progressed.<\/i><\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","youtube_video_url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0filGcZqPA8"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\u201cYou can spend a lot of time just asking someone where they are, but when you can see everyone on the map, it removes a lot of that time-consuming chatter,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cHurricane Ian was a breakthrough for us, because we had, in one map, live tracking of both federal and state teams across a wide area.\u201d\r\n<h3><strong>US&amp;R Incident Support<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nLexi Passaro deployed to Florida for Hurricane Ian as a Situation Unit Leader on FEMA\u2019s Blue Incident Support Team, which coordinated US&amp;R operations, including strategic and tactical planning. She has been involved with SARCOP\u2019s evolution, using a predecessor tool and then the latest iteration on recent missions to the Champlain Towers building collapse in Florida, floods in Kentucky, and now Hurricane Ian.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn just a year, it has matured and evolved,\u201d Passaro said. \u201cWe came up with an intel cell concept, which is even now maturing into a Search and Rescue Intelligence Group concept. When the data and imagery is combined with human intelligence and remote sensing like unmanned aerial systems images, video, thermal imaging, and other technologies, we can make science and data-based decisions on search planning. The technology has been there for a while, but now we\u2019re getting to use it in more beneficial ways.\u201d\r\n\r\nMembers of US&amp;R task forces are certified for their skills, such as structural collapse, wide area search, swiftwater rescue, confined spaces, HAZMAT, and other specialties. Passaro relishes her role as a \"translator\", to analyze data and information coming from SARCOP and distill it into an informed search plan the Incident Support Team then uses to guide specialists.\r\n\r\n\u201cA lot of our members are very skilled at technical rescue, which involves power tools to break and cut concrete, which is really hard hands-on work,\u201d Passaro said. \u201cThese are folks who day-to-day are often running into burning buildings, which doesn\u2019t involve computers. They appreciate how easy the tool is to document what they just did, because the data helps all of us. It's a culture of problem-solving and helping, and just getting done what needs to be done.\u201d\r\n<h3><strong>Data-driven Preparation and Response<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nBefore Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida, FEMA\u2019s response geospatial office provided models of where homes might be damaged. The modeled data drives response, knowing where and how many families will need help. It\u2019s also useful for coordinating and clustering search and rescue teams where the most help will be needed.\r\n\r\nFEMA\u2019s Tool for Emergency Management and Prioritizing Operations (TEMPO) utilizes the Priority Operations Support Tool (POST) algorithm to provide predictions for areas of greatest social vulnerability, looking at conditions that would cause people not to evacuate, such as non-English language speakers, financial hardship, or lack of transportation."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[557262,557272,557302,557242]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The US&amp;R teams use this information to plan searches in the hardest hit areas first, to do what\u2019s called a hasty search, moving fast to get people out quickly. Once that is completed, they then go door-to door\u2014this is when the SARCOP map fills in, with first a primary search and then a secondary search to find people who may be trapped.\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the Hurricane Ian response, internet connectivity was supported by the federal program called FirstNet, which supplies mobile telecommunications infrastructure for first responders, and by the satellite-based internet company Starlink. Connectivity ensured response teams could access and make use of photos US&amp;R collected in ArcGIS QuickCapture, as well as other imagery and video captured from drones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Always Improving<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nFuture goals with SARCOP are to apply a Search and Rescue Intelligence Group concept, using its agile framework to pull data together and see it in different views for different groups.\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another objective is to predict how long it will take to search an area, based on factors such as population density, distance traveled, and severity of impact. This leap will help leaders allocate the right number of resources for the task ahead, whether the mission is in a city or rural area. The ability will build on past performance to know what teams are capable of accomplishing.<\/p>\r\nTablets and phones were used on the Hurricane Ian response, and both will continue to be supported for SARCOP. But with GPS and data capture tools in use, better battery charging systems are needed to keep devices powered during dynamic searches. Internet access is key to collaboration and continuing to improve connectivity is a high priority.\r\n\r\nThe outreach continues with states, cities, counties, and agencies, such as the US Coast Guard, to spread the word about SARCOP and welcome wider participation. The more people who use it, the more effective it can become. With greater information sharing at the outset, the stage can be set for a swifter recovery.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re there for two weeks, mostly to protect and save lives,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cAt the end, we package up the information to give it to the local agency to help them plan the recovery. Recovery is the long game, because that will last months and years and we\u2019re happy to help them get off to a good start.\u201d\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLearn more about how GIS supports all types
