 Hello, my name is Carlos and I'm the Director of Engineering and Technology at Miami College and I will be presenting today one of our projects that is called Geographic Information System for Environmental Awareness and Community Engagement. This program has three main objectives. The first one is to develop an educational pathway. The second one is to develop technology applications for disaster reduction. And the third one is to contribute to the community engagement by being part of a strategy developed by the Miami-Dade County that is called Receiving 305. For the first objective, we have created a college credit certificate on Geographic Information Systems at Miami-Dade College. It's a 21 credit program that can also be followed by high school students because we have created, we have articulated a program with them to do an involvement. So when the students, when they are in high school, they can be part of this college credit certificate with us. And once they complete the college credit certificate, they can continue to obtain their associate degrees in Science and Information Technology and continue with this educational pathway. Once they complete the Associate in Science and Information Technology, they can go on and complete the Bachelor of Science and Information Technology at Miami-Dade College. If they want to continue studying in these areas, they can go on to the Florida International University to pursue a graduate certificate in GIS. So this is the pathway that we have created and it gives the students a huge opportunity learning information technology and applications in GIS, especially with environmental impacts analysis. The second objective is to develop a platform for maternal and disaster reduction that can be shared with the students and that the students will be able to share with their communities and well, the community to see either their families or so there are other students in the colleges. These are several phases. The first phase is to develop capacities for data capture with remote sensing, which mainly is the use of drones. The second is to create with this data capture, we create the urban models. Then we do the hazards and vulnerability analysis. First, we develop the risk analysis and finally we estimate the economic and social losses. I will explain you a little bit how this works. We have chosen, for instance, this study area in Miami-Dade. You see the, well, this is Florida, this is Miami and then we have this region, which is one of the census tract. We call it census tract 21 and we have chosen this area to analyze. We fly our drone and we, you see the number of photos, the points that we analyze here, 1.5 million, billion points to analyze this area and to raise the urban models that would allow us to understand and to assess the impact of the hurricanes and flooding. We complete models like this and those are very precise models that really let us understand what's going on and we actualize all data related to the urban, to the urban condition of the buildings and also the whole census tract. In relation to the hazards, we are working with analyze hurricanes and flooding and we follow deterministic and probabilistic strategies and in this example that I will be showing to you, we use the hurricane for a 500-year return period and the flooding for a 100-year return period. In order to analyze the risks, we follow the methodologies developed by FEMA in the strategy and methodology that is called HASUS, which means hazards in the US and FEMA has defined three levels of analysis. A level one, which is of easy access but it's based on public inventory available data. A second level, which allows you to improve this inventory and a HASUS level three, which allows you to do a building by building evaluation. When we go from level one to level two, we have to go and analyze each one of the regions and obtain more information related to each building, each house for instance. This is the general data that we have to analyze and the specific data also is shown here. The situation is that when we have to use this data analysis and this data capturing capacities using the drones because the public data is not adequate, will never lead to good results. So level one that is provided by HASUS is not such a good thing. It never allows us to have good results and here you can see the footprints that are real realistic. We can see them here and the difference between the ones that we can capture with the drones and the ones that are shown that are taken into consideration by HASUS level one. That will show you some of the differences when you use the level one with the public inventory. FEMA considers that the exposure for the buildings in this census tract is 661 million dollars but what we have evaluated is a lot more than that, more than twice. So this shows you that the results that we might obtain when we expose this value is different to what we will obtain if we expose the value that we have assessed ourselves. So the inventory is 2.6 times higher when we do the analysis following the more precise methodologies that we use. And this leads to differences that are important. The economic classes when for an hurricane, economic classes for a 500-year hurricane, you can see the difference here. Level one is about 400 million dollars and when you use level two, it's a big difference of almost a billion dollars that we have as a difference here. When we work with the flooding, the situation is very similar. This is the public inventory and this is the improved inventory that we have assessed. The economic class is estimated with improved inventory is 1.8 times the obtained with the public inventory. When we analyze the debris that is generated by the hurricane, winds and by the flooding, you can see also a big difference as I want to show here in this picture. The debris losses improved with the improved inventory is about 145 times between 1.5 and 1.9, the losses, the debris generated when we use level one. This shows that we really need to develop local capacities to be able to use these models created by FEMA. The third area, the third objective of our program is to develop community engagement and the main way that we have followed this is by being part of a network that has been created by the Miami-Dade County and includes municipalities, community organizations, and public schools. Here with Miami-Dade College, with this program, we are active members of the Resilient 305 strategy. This is a strategic program for Resiliency that has been led by the Office of Resiliency of Miami-Dade and it includes also the Office of Resilience of the Miami Beach and the City of Miami and also the universities, not only Miami-Dade College but also the Florida International University and the University of Miami. This is a very active network and this project, GSEC, has allowed us to be active and to propose solutions and to help the development of this Resiliency strategy. GSEC contributes to several outcomes of the Resilient 305. We support natural disaster preparedness. We help students and people understand Resilience. It expedites disaster recovery, gives up a capacity for that and also to improve the housing quality when people understand the risks that they are having or suffering. They can take this as a reference and also to reduce the impact of the sea level rise and coastal and stormwater including the impacts. The conclusions of our program at this stage, the present stage, would be that we have created an academic pathway that supports community. We have developed accurate risk analysis procedures because the available data of public sources is not always accurate and we have been able to improve the data of the target zone. We obtain results of losses and risk of around twice the results generated by the most that use public data. This is all folks. Thank you very much and I really want to help to thank the Public Interest Technology University Network because it's been their support that has allowed us to develop this program. Thank you very much.
