PEMA PEIRS
PA Homeland Security GIS
PEMA PEIRSThe Pennsylvania Emergency Incident Reporting
System (PEIRS) establishes standard-reporting criteria, consolidates reporting requirements. PEIRS provides reporting criteria for county emergency management coordinators, communications centers, 911 centers, commercial and industrial facilities, volunteer agencies and state and federal agencies to report emergency incidents which may affect the safety, health, or welfare of citizens of the Commonwealth, or require multi-jurisdictional response to the emergency incident.
PA Homeland Security GIS• PEMA Pennsylvania Emergency Incident
Reporting System (PEIRS)– PEIRS is the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Incident
Reporting system– PEIRS is a web based system, incorporating
messaging, incident entry, analysis and reporting– Other systems tie into PEIRS
• DEP PAIRS• New Wireless 911 legislation indicates participation
in PEIRS incident reporting to have W911 county plan approved for funding
• Other systems will be added in the future• Potentially, all incidents will flow into PEIRS to the
new Fusion Center

PEIRS Current Status• PEIRS application is currently undergoing several upgrades and
modifications to current Geospatial Data Layers.• PEMA is currently in the process of integrating 911 CAD (Computer
Aided Dispatch) into PEIRS through an XML Schema, which will use the incident location as one of the required fields for identification of a county incident to assist in dispatch, response, recovery and mitigation of emergency incidents.
• PEIRS is being evaluated and modified to ensure it is flexible and robust enough to support future developments and support the Commonwealth in the development of fusion center.
• The current application allows a user to do several different GIS options.
1. Plot an incident location, then be able to identify critical facilities in and around a facility.
2. An user can retrieve key information relevant to those facilities.

DEP PAIRS
PA Homeland Security GISDEP Pennsylvania Incident Reporting System (PAIRS)
Building Enterprise-wide GIS Applications
PA Homeland Security GIS• DEP Pennsylvania Incident Reporting System
(PAIRS)– PAIRS is the Commonwealth’s Agency Incident Reporting
system– PAIRS is a web portal system, incorporating messaging,
incident entry, GIS, analysis, reporting, and public/media outreach
– Used by DEP to manage emergency environmental incidents – spills, contamination, toxic leaks, etc. – air, soil, water
– Primary Agency Partners:• Health• Agriculture
– Other systems tie into PAIRS• PEMA PEIRS
PA Homeland Security GIS
• PAIRS Tracks:– Diseases affecting agriculture
and humans– Environmental conditions
– short and long term– Contamination of food
supplies
DEP PAIRS
• Building on experience and reusing ESRI code from the West Nile Virus (WNV) application, DEP began by linking PEMA, Agriculture, Health and DEP
• Agency Partners can:– Enter incident information from remote sites across the Commonwealth
– Send statewide notifications to other agencies
– Send and Receive information from state labs
– View real-time reports and maps of the incidents
– Add additional information/query an incident
– See patterns between incidents/across political boundaries
PA Homeland Security GIS
Who it is• 4 State Agencies
– DOH, DEP, PDA, PEMA

DEP PAIRS• Existing capabilities of WNV have been/are being
installed into PAIRS. These include:
– Laboratory data entry (associating samples with incidents). Relies on WNV designed concept using intelligent barcodes
– Linking to existing databases (local, state, federal)
– Modeling incidents (plume analysis/fate and transport)
– Sharing summary data with the public at the right time
• Goal: Complete integration of data tied to GIS from the field to the media outlets

Health PA-NEDSS
PA Homeland Security GIS
What is NEDSS?
NEDSS is a national initiative driven by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and uniformity of surveillance data. The “NEDSS vision” includes use of the Internet for data collection and transmission, collection of data as close to the source as possible, incorporation of electronic laboratory reporting and use of uniform coding schemes and data transmission protocols.
Pennsylvania’s Electronic Disease Reporting project, PA-NEDSS, is Pennsylvania’s response to this national initiative. PA-NEDSS is a new way to report diseases and investigative findings to the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) via the Internet. It replaces the card and form-based methods. As of November 16th, 2003, PA-NEDSS is the mandatory electronic diseasereporting application for Pennsylvania.
PA Homeland Security GISPA-NEDSS Functionality
PA-NEDSS establishes a near real-time, secure communication link between laboratories, hospitals, individual medical practices, and the PA DOH. While the reporting process remains unchanged, PA-NEDSS seeks to improve the timeliness and accuracy of disease reporting and expand the public health infrastructure to improve response to possible bioterrorism attacks. PA-NEDSS provides the following core features:
• Web-based reporting for labs, hospitals, and physicians • Integrated electronic lab reporting (ELR) • Integrated Health Alert Network (HAN) • Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) and report extracts for CDC • Graphical reporting/ analytical tools • Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping tools used to plot cases on
a map • Comprehensive and integrated system for all program areas including Case
Management for Epidemiology (EPI), Tuberculosis (TB), Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), and Elevated Blood Lead Level (Lead) program areas
PA Homeland Security GIS
• PA-NEDSS Users– Hospitals (539)– Labs (519)– Physicians (550)– Public Health Staff (county – 487)

• Schematic Diagram of GIS– The purpose of PA-NEDSS GIS is to perform spatial analysis on
the patient and the patient’s contact data within PA-NEDSS.

Agriculture Bureau of Animal Health Diagnostic Services (BAHDS)
Animal Information Management System (AIMS)
Consolidated Database Emergency Management Response System
Animal Tracking System
PA Homeland Security GIS
• Database Consolidation Project – 22 databases, different platforms
• Integration with Ag Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
• Tracking of premises, herds, individual animals, diseases and tests
• Leading U.S. in assigning national premise IDs to PA animal operations premises
• Need for the next Avian Flu outbreak (February 2004 – Lancaster County)
Ag BAHDS
PA Homeland Security GIS
• A need for this project has existed for quite some time– Existing data is fragmented and located in
antiquated systems such as DEC and is often redundant across multiple databases
• This limits the usefulness of the data• It also creates a lack of confidence in data
accuracy• The new system will create a more efficient
method of data retrieval and reporting– There is a strong need for this system based on
Homeland Security issues regarding food safety and the health of our livestock
Ag BAHDS
PA Homeland Security GIS
• Project will consolidate all BAHDS databases into one MS SQL Server application – Will also link to the Ag Laboratory Information Management
System (LIMS) for animal disease test results
– Will provide for a GIS interface that will allow for the spatial analysis of infected livestock operations and other premises
– Provide the ability to track animal movement across the Commonwealth
– An Emergency Management Response System will also be created for incident resource tracking
– Future development is being laid out for the tracking of animal movement into/across the state using web based technology to provide outside access to authorized users such as private veterinarians

Office of Homeland Security Fusion Center (Future)
PA Homeland Security GISOHS Fusion Center
– The objective of the fusion center is to create a command and control facility and a set of processes that will allow agencies to share critical information in a real-time mode, before during and after a terrorist event, natural disaster or other crisis.
– The first phase of the fusion center initiative will be the development of a blueprint that will lay out the technical infrastructure, the data sources and processes and the organizational structure and personnel requirements necessary for proper support.
– The Center will be located at an alternate site location with security level clearance required
– Many data feeds – DHS, PEIRS, PACIC, FBI, etc.
PA Homeland Security GISOHS Fusion Center
• The PA agencies that will be participating in the first phase are:– Governor’s Office– Office of Homeland Security– Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency– Pennsylvania State Police– Department of Veterans and Military Affairs– Department of Health– Department of Environmental Protection– Department of Agriculture– Department of Transportation– Office for Information Technology
