Sanborn Emergency Response Services provide Immediate Situational Awareness

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., February 15, 2018 /BUSINESS WIRE/ — In response to hurricanes, widespread flooding and catastrophic western wild fires, The Sanborn Map Company, Inc. (Sanborn) was awarded multiple contracts for emergency response services. Sanborn mobilized its fleet of aircraft equipped with sophisticated sensors to collect high-resolution orthoimagery, oblique imagery and elevation data. Sanborn’s geospatial mapping products are supporting a multitude of end users from both government and commercial realms. Sanborn acquired data within California, Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas, Montana, and the US Virgin Islands.

Sanborn was able to acquire imagery for these areas as soon as there were safe conditions, typically within 24 hours of the storm or fire subsidence. Following successful collection, Sanborn rapidly processed the imagery data within 18 hours. The data was then made available through a cloud-based imagery web-service to allow users to view the imagery through a web browser on any desktop PC, tablet or mobile device.

Sanborn technology and experience enabled rapid, cloud-based delivery of processed imagery products. Sanborn personnel resources and state-of-the-art technical resources provided the capability to deliver in the required timelines. For these programs, challenges beyond standard aerial collections were overcome. Rapid planning, immediate mobilization, constant (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) staffing and dedicated production resources were required to support these emergency response activities.

“We recognize that timely, consistent, and quality collection of aerial imagery is essential in an emergency situation. We were saddened by the devastations these communities had to endure, but it was gratifying to be able to support the post-disaster response,” said John Copple, CEO and President of Sanborn. “Sanborn has extensive experience and expertise in using the correct acquisition platform (manned versus unmanned) with the most effective sensor technology for a specific project’s geographic area and mission. We continue to invest in technologies that enable increased collection capacity as well as IT infrastructure for faster data processing and dissemination.”

Sanborn Receives Final Acceptance and Praise for Early Completion of Arkansas Statewide Orthoimagery Project

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., January 5, 2018 /BUSINESS WIRE/ — The Sanborn Map Company Inc. (Sanborn) team mobilized to Arkansas to collect high-resolution imagery to map the entire State of Arkansas under the 2017-2018 Statewide Orthoimagery Program. Sanborn collected more than 50,000 aerial images at 12-inch and 6-inch resolutions, all with 4-bands, covering over 60,000 square miles. The initial 12-inch resolution collection, covering the entire State, was completed within a total of four (4) weeks.

Sanborn provided an innovative cloud-based service solution for imagery delivery and quality review. The service solution included delivery of geo-referenced imagery within four (4) weeks from flight, allowing stakeholders early access to imagery web services while final image processing was performed. Sanborn’s early delivery system allowed end users access to imagery substantially faster than the previous Arkansas Statewide contract for similar services.

The Statewide Orthoimagery Program fulfills the requirement for the Arkansas GIS Office to update and maintain the Arkansas statewide imagery base map. The base map products are an important resource for state and local governing entities, and they form the foundation that enables accuracy and consistency for the geospatial products and data produced in and for the State of Arkansas.

“The early access and expedited imagery delivery was a major benefit for the State’s Geographic Information System base map,” says Shelby D. Johnson, Geographic Information Officer from the Arkansas GIS Office. “We were able to provide imagery data quicker than previous projects while dramatically improving the resolution and quality of the imagery for many areas. The new data provides significant value to our constituents. Our ability to quickly disseminate this data to many of our rural 9-1-1 centers in the State will enable them to put it to use for public safety faster. It’s a springboard for them on the steps toward next-generation 9-1-1 capability.”

The project culminated in a meeting on October 3-6, 2017, with officials from the Arkansas GIS Office and representatives from Sanborn meeting at the Arkansas GIS User Forum in Eureka Springs, Ark., where Sanborn presented a complete overview of the project to both stakeholders and end-users. At the meeting, the project team worked with State and county agencies to provide detailed information as to the products and distribution.
