This is the Harrison County 4-H IT Adventures Team Community Service Project Powerpoint for 2013 IT Olympics. Creating digital interior maps of two schools in county for E9

1. School A “where” ness
Saving time to save lives!

2. Providing Emergency Response Data
• Gives an easy, quick digital building plan
• Allows first responders and incident commanders to quickly assess the
scene, plan a route and prepare for all possibilities.
• Makes a large scale evacuation easier and faster to manage
• Also creates school awareness to emergency situations
Time
Lives!

3. Take a paper floor plan
Add outlines for walls and directions
for which way doors swing. Then go
to the school and do a walk through
to verify floor map
Anchor it to a digital Satellite Image Map with ArcGIS

4. What we mapped!
Alarms
Chemicals
Utility Shut Offs
Tornado Shelters

5. Creating a Digital Building Map
1. Start with the basic floor plan. Add walls, rooms, and Doors.
Do a walk through of building to verify the floor plan accuracy
and map additional points such as fire
alarms, extinguishers, tornado shelters and security
cameras.
2. Add attributes like a picture and details for a certain room.
Attributes can be room number, room usage, number of
students, and teacher name.
3. Then we would add a layer called emergency point layer.
This is to show where the fire alarms and
extinguishers, tornado shelters and security cameras are
located.
4. Then another layer for utilities shut off.

6. Why this is so important!
• Due to recent events, there is a serious need to have access to a
digital emergency situation model for public buildings.
• Most schools are not prepared for emergency responders to
come in and know where to go.
• This model gives schools and law enforcement a reason to get
active and create an emergency situation model.
• This model provides an opportunity for high school students to
take a part in mapping the school.
• Saving time with this emergency model can save lives of many
people.
