USGS/EROS Remote Sensing Liaison § Provide Federal, State, and Local organizations with timely and relevant pre- and post-event remotely sensed imagery and information § § § 24 x 7 on-call support and coordination for satellite and aerial image access, acquisition, reception, delivery, and archival Facilitate data scheduling, availability, and image coordination as required Host the Remote Sensing Working Group (RSWG) coordination calls for geospatial requirements and remote sensing activities (on request) Image access and delivery through Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) Collection requirements through Collection Management System (CMT) US representation for International Charter ‘Space and Major Disasters’ § http: //www. disasterscharter. org/

Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) Data Holdings § § HDDS currently holds over 395 TB of data representing over 9. 6 million files § Public: 262 TB (8. 9+ million files) § Restricted: 177 TB (1. 3+ million files) Represents over 1200 baseline and disaster events Data Distribution § Over the last 12 months, the HDDS systems have distributed over 65, 000 files to the disaster response community. 5/19/2011 SPOT-5 of Rolling Fork, MS Collected via the USAF Eagle Vision Program © CNES 2011, Distribution Astrium Services / Spot Image S. A. , France, All rights reserved

Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) § History of HDDS § The Hazards Data Distribution System was developed while supporting Hurricane Katrina in 2005 § Consisted primarily of an directory structure which allowed the response to easily obtain imagery in an organized fashion via FTP delivery § Migrated to a web-based HTTP structure in 2006 § Utilized the same directory-based searching mechanism as the previous version § § § Redesign as a graphical interface in 2010 § Allowed users to input search criteria and obtain results interactively In 2012, additional capabilities were added to support data export and registration Migrated to the USGS “Earth. Explorer” framework in April 2014 § Shared code, architecture, and user interaction § Provides enhanced capabilities and functionality

USGS HDDS Explorer § http: //hddsexplorer. usgs. gov § § § § § Interactive map-based interface Earth. Explorer “look & feel” Search by event, location, date Includes multi-event searches On-demand WMS delivery Save previous searches and criteria Standing request notification service RSS feed for newly ingested data Bulk delivery capability via downloadable web-based client Metadata export in multiple formats (e. g. CSV, KML, SHP, etc. ) Directory-based access for all non-ingested (“ad hoc”) datasets Graphical data viewing with browse and footprint area overlay Overview Video § §

Bulk Distribution Capabilities § The Bulk Download Application is a Java-based § client application that is utilized to stream data from EE/Glo. Vis/HDDS to the end user. EROS offers bulk media delivery for users with large volume requests or minimal bandwith throughput

Emergency Operations Ingest System (EIS) § EIS ingest provides: § § § After ingest, all original (vendor-supplied ) files are stored and available via ad-hoc distribution area § § Standardized product packaging and format (Geo. TIFF) Map-based, interactive searching and browse/footprint viewing capability on graphical HDDSExplorer requires ingested data Metadata query and filtering capability Georeferenced metadata and browse files to support user search and communications functionality (e. g. shapefiles, KML) Designated within HDDS ad-hoc directories as “NATIVE” All original (vendor-supplied ) files that cannot be ingested are also stored and available via ad-hoc distribution area § Designated within HDDS ad-hoc directories as “NON_INGESTED”

Emergency Operations Ingest System (EIS) § Output Files from EIS § § § Full-resolution Imagery (reformatted to geotiff) Image browse (thumbnail) graphic Compressed low/medium quality imagery (40%/90% JPG-compressed) § includes. jpg and. jpw (world) file Shapefiles (GIS-based representation of HDDS holdings; aggregated by dataset) Metadata (aggregated by dataset except where noted below) § § § Comma Separated Values (CSV) Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) – file based Keyhole Markup Language (KML) format (v 2. 1) Extensible Markup Language (XML) format (v 1. 0) Native imagery – contains original file packaging and format from vendor § EIS file content definitions provided in the HDDS Quick Guide: § http: //hdds. usgs. gov/sites/default/files/Digital. Library/eo-hddsquickguide. pdf

Collection Management Tool (CMT) § § § Released in February 2015 Allows users to submit and monitor Data Acquisition Requests (DARs) Also allows users to view public image requests and areas-of-interest (AOIs) that have been submitted by other users Includes direct linkage to HDDS, allowing users to view available http: //cmt. usgs. gov/ imagery for active EO events. Provides automated email notification as imagery is collected in support of a request. Includes DAR workflow management and communications functionality (approval, vendor submission, closure/cancellation, etc. )

Collection Management Tool (CMT) http: //cmt. usgs. gov/

Collection Management Tool (CMT) § Features § § § § § Interactive map-based interface Earth. Explorer “look and feel” Search by event § Shared login credentials (user/password) with EE/HDDS § Manage user profile and settings Enter, review, or update a Data Acquisition Request (DAR) AOI can be entered as text coordinates, http: //cmt. usgs. gov/ You. Tube Video interactive map, or KML/SHP View other submitted DARs (public only) View HDDS coverage status Request a new emergency event for HDDS (‘unsupported event’) Change/view map layers or add your own (login required) Close an image request and provide collection feedback

USGS Earth. Explorer http: //earthexplorer. usgs. gov § § § Allows for searching across multiple data collections Accepts user-defined input criteria Modular design Developed in 2008 300+ data sets currently available

Global Visualization Viewer (Glo. Vis) http: //glovis. usgs. gov § § § “Point and Click”user interface Browse-based Satellite centric Utilizes existing EE capabilities Distributable source code
