NAPSG Situational Awareness Web Map

Purpose: This is a web map used for a situational awareness viewer. Click on links below for more information, this is just a summary of the layers in this map as of 09/14/2018.Live Data Live Feed - Storm Reports (NOAA) - This map contains continuously updated U.S. tornado reports, wind storm reports and hail storm reports. You can click on each to receive information about the specific location and read a short description about the issue. Live Feed - Observed Weather (NOAA METAR) - Current wind and weather conditions at all METAR stations.Live Feed: Open Shelters (FEMA / Red Cross National Shelter System) - his web service displays data from the FEMA National Shelter System database. The FEMA NSS database is synchronized every morning with the American Red Cross shelter database. After this daily refresh, FEMA GIS connects every 20 minutes to the FEMA NSS database looking for any shelter updates that occur throughout the day in the the FEMA NSS.Live Feed: Active Hurricanes - Hurricane tracks and positions provide information on where the storm has been, where is it going, where it is currently located and the category as defined by wind speed. This data is provided by NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC).Live Feed Action Level Stream Gauges (USGS) - This map service shows those gauges from the Live Stream Gauge layer that are currently flooding. It only includes those gauges where flood stages have been defined by the contributing agencies. Action stage represents the river depth at which the agency begins preparing for a flood and taking mitigative action.Live Feed: USA Short-Term Weather Warnings - This layer presents continuously updated US weather warnings. You can click on each to receive information about the specific location and read a short description about the issue. Each layer is updated every minute with data provided by NOAA’s National Weather Service - http://www.nws.noaa.gov/regsci/gis/shapefiles/.Live Feed: Power Outages - Current power outage data reported by the EARSS system.Live Feed: Radar (NOAA) - Quality Controlled 1km x 1km CONUS Radar Base Reflectivity. This data is provided by Mutil-Radar-Multi-Sensor (MRMS) algorithm.Flood Prediction / Simulation (Created on 09/13 by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory RIFT Model) - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory RIFT Model: The simulations, based on NOAA weather forecasts, are used to improve understanding of the storm and its potential flood impacts. The simulations were created with PNNL's Rapid Inundation Flood Tool, a two-dimensional hydrodynamic computer model.Base Data - FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer - The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) dataset represents the current effective flood data for the country, where maps have been modernized.  It is a compilation of effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases and Letters of Map Change (LOMCs). The NFHL is updated as studies go effective. For more information, visit FEMA's Map Service Center (MSC). Base Data - Storm Surge Scenarios (NOAA) - This mapping service displays near worst case storm surge flooding (inundation) scenarios for the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. This map service was derived from an experimental storm surge data product developed by the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
