The Hawaii State Department of Health's Environmental Health Administration (EHA) has made great strides with GIS and geospatial technologies in recent years. EHA has integrated GIS capabilities into several applications to enhance finding and viewing environmental information across the state. We will showcase three separate systems developed at EHA that utilize GIS and geospatial tools.
EHA implemented an Environmental Health Warehouse in late 2009. This warehouse extracts information from the administration's environmental and health systems, reconciles the points of interest, and presents a holistic view of the data to consumers. A spatial inquiry system is used to find and explore known environmental information within locations and areas.
The Safe Drinking Water Branch designed and implemented a custom map viewer application, providing county and environmental health specialists ways to query water system, facility and sample point information. The solution also provides field users with a way to improve locational data with GPS-collected coordinates using custom mobile software on Trimble handheld devices.
The Clean Water Branch (CWB) created a custom water quality data viewer that gives internal and external users access to water quality data and beach warnings, advisories and postings. The system also includes a mapping utility that helps the CWB quickly and easily define affected locations and areas.
EHA has integrated ArcGIS Server technologies into many of its systems available inside and outside of the organization, often overlaying ArcGIS server layers over GoogleMaps as well as deriving geopolitical data to enhance the search capabilities of its inquiry tools.

Waikoloa - What you didn't know: The UXO cleanup of a Formerly Used Defense Site

During World War II, the military used the Former Waikoloa Maneuver Area on the island of Hawai‘i as a training camp and artillery range. The military ceased activities and vacated the 100,000 acre parcel in 1946 and performed a cleanup. Another cleanup was conducted in 1954, and the current effort was triggered by the fact that munitions and explosives are continuing to be discovered. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the Executive Agent for the Formerly Used Defense Sites Program, and is responsible for the current cleanup effort. We are managing the large effort through a GIS database to keep track of the number and locations of munitions found, areas cleared, right-of-entries targeted, and more. While over 17,000 acres have been cleared, clearance continues to improve public safety.

GIS has been a helpful tool for the Hawaii Department of Health Injury Prevention Program's (IPP's) efforts to prevent injuries from motor vehicle crashes in Hawaii. IPP has a long-standing prevention partnership with the North Hawaii Outcomes Project to publicize maps of fatal crashes in Hawaii County and to mitigate high risk road environments. Electronic patient care data from EMS reports has also been used for the prevention of pedestrian injuries on the island of Oahu. Incident maps have helped the planning and advocacy efforts of community organizations and county and state agencies.

An Overview of the Hawaii NFIP Mobile Inspection Tool

Mobile GIS
Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm
The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has developed a tool for the collection of National Flood Insurance (NFIP) inspection data. This tool enables data to be collected on a mobile device for inclusion into a standard database. Once on the database, the inspection data is used for analysis and reporting. The tool has several GIS capabilities built in, including the ability to find your location, view and analyze a map, and retrieve attribute data. It is designed to be user friendly and intuitive for inspectors. An overview of the business process, workflow and tool capabilities and features will be presented.

CCH-DPP Storm Water Application

Hi-Tech Urban Solution, Inc., Honolulu, HI
Engineering and Public Works
Wednesday March 7, 2012 - 10:45 am to noon
The City & County of Honolulu's Storm Water Application is a web-based GIS application that delivers powerful mapping, network tracing, and data access tools to users throughout the City. It is the culmination of a multi-year, collaborative effort by the City's Department of Planning and Permitting to improve the coverage, accuracy, and dissemination of its storm water-related GIS data. The application is designed around NPDES permit obligations the City is required to meet. The application is a completely custom ArcGIS Server Web ADF implementation. It is programmed in ASP.NET/VB.NET, incorporates custom ArcObjects modules, and integrates multiple City SQL data servers. The presentation will discuss (1) the user-interviews and NPDES requirements driving the design process, (2) the application's capabilities and toolsets, (3) a high-level review of its technical architecture, and (4) lessons learned. The presentation will also include a live demo (subject to internet access and technical support).
