HYPERLINK "(www.virtual.alabama.gov) " (www.virtual.alabama.gov)  Virtual Alabama is a 3-dimensional visualization tool that uses existing state asset imagery and infrastructure data overlaid on Google Earth technology to provide real-time information about geographically oriented events occurring in the state, like the impact of natural disasters, or the effects of manmade events like chemical spills. Background The idea for Virtual Alabama stemmed from Governor [first name] Rileys need for better map data following Hurricane Katrina. During a flyover of the coastline, the governor asked what the coastline looked like before the hurricane. Director Walker realized he didn't know the answer, and after searching the state, he found that the best map data existed in local governments in counties, cities, and towns. At the request of the Governor, the Alabama Department of Homeland Security (ALDHS) began exploring and identifying ways to leverage existing state asset imagery and infrastructure data into a visualization tool that is affordable, scalable, maintainable, and capable of employing the power of existing and evolving internet based applications. As a result, the Virtual Alabama program was created. Challenges One of the first challenges the State faced when trying to get Virtual Alabama off the ground was convincing 67 counties to contribute their data. There were many reasons jurisdictions did not want to participate in developing a common operating picture in which data and images could be shared and communicated across jurisdictions including: Jurisdictions often use their own proprietary systems to obtain, store and organize information. Concern over security of the information. Local jurisdictions are hesitant to provide their information to State driven systems due to lack of ownership of the system. Costs associated with the system/Concern over sustainability of the system. It was essential to get the counties onboard. A quick start was needed and project staff started looking at who might have the most immediate gain from input of their data. It was decided that law enforcement would be a good place to begin. In Alabama, local sheriffs are powerful community leaders and if they got on board they would bring others along. One of the applications they found critical was the ability to layer their data from a public sex-offender registry with other data about the locations of schools, playgrounds, and other places where children might be vulnerable. This was the tipping point and data began to flow in. Before Virtual Alabama, many state and local agencies were doing aerial maps of the state and collecting other useful information, such as the design of public buildings and the location of every fire hydrant, but no one was consolidating it all in a useful fashion. With much of the data in the hands of cash-strapped counties, the effort required collaboration between local government workers. Once sheriffs saw the possibility, they worked with members of their local department of revenue to obtain imagery to map out their sex offender investigationsincluding data on the location of children and schools within the perimeter of an offender's home. How does it work? As ALDHS began engaging stakeholders at the local level, they overlaid the Google maps with pertinent information, providing a common operational picture across the state that first responders, county planners and other officials can use. Virtual Alabama is a visualization tool that uses an enterprise version of Google Earth, customized to show overlaid maps of the state's most critical data. Virtual Alabama is a collaboration success story, Walker said. ALDHS relies heavily on state and local partnerships to provide previously collected imagery and asset data. Virtual Alabama leverages the existing data sets to give an overall visual representation of the states data inventory. The visualization platform helps stakeholders, users, and decision makers understand the quality, resolution, scale, coverage, vintage, and useful applications of existing data and imagery. This, in turn, provides valuable information that will improve efficiencies, reduce redundancies throughout the state, and illustrate where data is currently missing or incomplete. Virtual Alabama uses a 3D globe interface to retrieve images from a merged global imagery dataset. This dataset transforms massive amounts of data into useful information for technical and non-technical users. As an example, Virtual Alabama provides the common operating picture and situational awareness needed by Alabamas first responders to protect lives and safeguard citizens before, during, and after a disaster. Virtual Alabama serves a wide user base of state and local officials at various levels of technological proficiency. As an information tool, Virtual Alabama reduces technology gaps in economically challenged areas and levels the information playing field throughout the state. Additionally, the program provides the ability to integrate and distribute proprietary data securely across the internet. Benefits to government of using Virtual Alabama: Common operational picture Emergency evacuation routing Situational awareness/understanding Vehicle and asset tracking Critical infrastructure mapping Identification of assets and vulnerabilities Visualization of risks Plume modeling and real time sensors feeds Implementation of protective measures during events Damage assessment Costs Virtual Alabama has provided a tremendous return on investment for the State. The total outlay for the initial purchase of the Google Earth application and necessary hardware was approximately $150,000. This is far less than it would have cost if the state had purchased individual software licenses for all Virtual Alabama users. Furthermore, this does not factor in the costs avoided by having different state agencies share the same aerial imagery. The current database is estimated to be valued at over $30 million. The development team consists of 4 individuals. All are government employees, two are state employees and two Federal government employees on loan from the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) through a memorandum of understanding between ALDHS and SMDC. Replicability The Virtual Alabama program has been viewed as a model for other states, several of which have expressed interest in a similar initiative to equip their emergency responders with a similar database of location information and the visualization tools to assist their efforts to safeguard the general public. In July 2007, Google entered into an agreement with the state of Louisiana on a similar project for that state's emergency responders. The State of Louisiana asked Alabama for permission to copy the concept for their State and immediately began the implementation of Virtual Louisiana. To date, the Virtual Alabama team has met with Governors offices and Departments of Homeland Security in the following states: California, Mississippi, Tennessee, Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Indiana, Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New York City. Summary While the license for Virtual Alabama is owned at the State level, counties and towns all around the state can contribute new data, and decide what kinds of data to contribute. As a result, the system has empowered Alabama's first responders to create tools that work for them. In turn, the system has gained buy-in quickly as populations who didn't even know about the system for example, Alabama's revenue commissioners are rapidly exploring it, getting involved, and contributing more and better data in the process. In August 2006, Virtual Alabama reached initial operational capability. In August 2008, Virtual Alabama had over 3300 online users and the best imagery available from all 67 Alabama counties ingested into the program. ALDHS is now not only sharing disaster management data on the Google Earth Enterprise platform but data from such areas as the state's education, economic and agricultural segments as well.
