Mobile GIS field Units were Used to do Damage Assessment, Map the perimeters of floods and site various Locations. Field Damage Assessment Tool Field Damage Assessment Tool > Easy to use with focused form based data entry and provides some error checks and validation > Over 30,000 sites surveyed and captured in the system ! > Also adopted and Deployed at City of Palm Beach Gardens , County of St.Lucie and being adapted for County of Palm Beach and City of Wellington. > Results uploaded and available via ArcIMS same day! Built on ArcPad, available for Free. Focused on field updates by Inspectors (not GIS analysts) Focused on field updates by Inspectors (not GIS analysts) Field Damage Assessment Tool Built for City of West Palm Beach Field Damage Assessment Tool Built for City of West Palm Beach “The Capital City of the Palm B h ” > Built to automate Specific data needed for FEMA > Auto populate fields based on GIS data > Built in Days between ESRI – West Palm and the City > Deployed and in production in a week.

Establish support contracts ahead of time if possible (and dbl check their schedule and availability) Make sure you have good, usable background data including streets and key facilities prepped and ready for GeoCoding/address matching and quick asset look up functions Good grid/tile systems and index maps, build map books and make accessible to others.
