School A “where” nessSaving time to save lives!

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!

How we made our digital indoor map!

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

What we mapped!Alarms Cameras

Floor Plan

Fire Extinguishers

Chemicals

Utility Shut Offs

Tornado Shelters

Creating a Digital Building Map1. 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.

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.
