In the evening hours of Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 the Waldo Canyon Fire destroyed over 350 structures in Mountain Shadows, a Northwestern Subdivision of Colorado Springs that sits in the wild land-urban interface. This single event led to the Waldo Canyon Fire being considered the most destructive Wild Fire in Colorado history. The Governments and Utility GIS organizations were working 24 hours a day in support of the community providing maps and other geospatial information of the damage areas. To support the government community and wildfire response teams, Sanborn deployed an emergency response service that used remote sensing and web based technologies to provide maps of the disaster area. This presentation will focus on the events that led up to this disaster, a firsthand experience of evacuation, provide a timeline of the fire response, discuss technologies used by Sanborn including VisionMap’s A3 camera, ESRI’s Map Service and Leaflet. Furthermore, the presentation will focus on how the data was/is being used by the Government(s) and Utility organizations for both tactical and recovery efforts.

11. Prevention and Risk Mitigation
• Multi-Spectral Imagery and LiDAR provide the following
datasets that are used for identifying risk
– Vegetation (Fuels), Slope, Aspect, Population

12. Tactical Response During a Fire
• IR Flights were conducted nightly
• The USFS uses Common Operating Picture Technology
with AVL to manage assets such as aircraft and wild land
fire teams

13. Emergency Response After
Containment
• Ortho imagery and burned vs. unburned classification is
the primary need for GIS Specialist on the BAER (Burned
Area Emergency Response) teams to assess damage
• If damage is on non-Federal land City, County and State
have significant interest in data as well
• Issues:
– Speed of delivery is very important
– Data distribution to the government and public is difficult
– Public access to information for evacuees

14. Fire Emergency Response After
Containment: Case Study
• Sanborn Completed acquisition of 4 to 6-inch pixel resolution imagery
for the entire Waldo Fire Burn area on Thursday July 28th, 2012
• We needed a solution that would enable a flying height that would
allow us to avoid tactical aircraft
• We needed a solution that would allow for the shortest timeframe for
data acquisition and post processing with a 24 hour turn around time
• We decided to test and VisionMap A3 camera system for this
application

16. Emergency Response After Containment
• Final ortho product met expectations!
• Geometric accuracy was remarkable good considering NED source
DEM
• Color saturation met expectations
• Building lean was less than traditional methods due to longer focal
length lens
• Cost and Schedule to product was at least 70% of traditional methods
for completing the project
