[1st-mile-nm] Local Web Mapping Resources for Dog Head Fire

[Shirley Baros]

Hello 1st Mile Community,

 

Below are links to several mapping resources that you may find useful
given the Dog Head and other NM fires, and the potential for subsequent
flooding. Feel free to contact me should you have questions or need
support locating mapping information.

 

New Mexico Broadband Map: 

http://nmbbmapping.org/mapping/

 

The Broadband Web Map for New Mexico displays those areas within the State
where Broadband is accessible. Included is an "Address Finder" where users
can tap in an address and discover what Broadband Technologies and
Providers are available to them.  The Web mapping sites contains a wealth
of data and information on the NMBBP Map that can be used to identify the
providers and their technology types and contact them directly for
assistance.

                Developer: Earth Data Analysis Center/UNM 

 

New Mexico Watch - Wildfires: 

http://nmwatch.org/

 

The "New Mexico Watch Demonstration Project" that focuses on Statewide
Wildfire Reporting is an example of building onto the existing structure
created by the Broadband Program. The web site is "interactive". Meaning
users who have broadband access (field/home/office) can measure (area and
distances), draw to establish focus areas, annotate, and print. Also,
individuals can tap in an address, zoom to that location, and reference
the fire incident to an area. In addition, the locations of emergency
operations centers, fire stations, law enforcement, hospitals, community
centers, and schools are shown. Clicking on these locations and the Fire
Areas will provide information.

NMflood - Flooding and Floodplain Management

http://nmflood.org/content/interactive-maps

 

nmflood.org helps support FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (
<http://www.fema.gov/risk-mapping-assessment-planning> Risk MAP) program.
The vision for Risk MAP is to deliver quality data that increases public
awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property. Risk
MAP builds on flood hazard data and maps produced during the Flood Map
Modernization (
<http://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-flood-hazard-mapping
/map-modernization> Map Mod) program. The goals of Risk MAP are:

.         Flood Hazard Data. Address gaps in flood hazard data to form a
solid foundation for risk assessment, floodplain management, and actuarial
soundness of the National Flood Insurance Program (
<http://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program> NFIP).

.         Public Awareness/Outreach. Ensure that a measurable increase of
the public's awareness and understanding of risk results in a measurable
reduction of current and future vulnerability.

.         Hazard Mitigation Planning. Lead and support States, local, and
Tribal communities to effectively engage in risk-based mitigation planning
resulting in sustainable actions that reduce or eliminate risks to life
and property from natural hazards.

.         Enhanced Digital Platform. Provide an enhanced digital platform
that improves management of Risk MAP, stewards information produced by
Risk MAP, and improves communication and sharing of risk data and related
products to all levels of government and the public.

.         Alignment and Synergies. Align Risk Analysis programs and
develop synergies to enhance decision-making capabilities through
effective risk communication and management.
