This is the Wilson County GIS Web Application for information regarding tropical cyclones and other related weather events affecting Wilson County. The information presented is collected by Wilson County GIS with the assistance of various Wilson County and City of Wilson departments, in addition to publicly available tropical weather event sources such as the National Hurricane Center, The American Red Cross and The Federal Emergency Management Agency. Wilson County GIS has made every effort to insure that the information provided within is accurate to the best of its knowledge, however the information herein may reflect errors from sources used to obtain the data, and accuracy therefore is not guaranteed. Users are encouraged to consult original sources as well as the National Weather Service for additional information.Wilson County GIS will make every attempt to keep this site updated through the course of a natural disaster. For specific Wilson County Information please refer to our Wilson County GIS Web Mapping Application website. In the event of a disaster please exercise all caution in traveling and please heed any and all recommendations put forth by local and state authorities.Please note that some layers maybe updating from time to time disabling the map. If this occurs please allow the web services that are updating a few moments and then refresh the map. During peak usage events users may experience abnormally long delays in loading the information due to the amount of web traffic accessing the national storm data.

ScopeThe Alberni Valley Stream Atlas represents the culmination of almost six years of work and a successful partnership among federal, provincial and local governments, First Nations and volunteer groups. The project focused on mapping and inventory of all streams in the Alberni Valley within community plan areas for the City of Port Alberni, the Regional District and First Nations reserves within these boundaries. Tree Farm Licence and private forest lands are not included. Additionally, in the Fall of 2000, the Regional District made the decision to amend the boundaries of Sproat Lake Community Plan to encompass the entire length of the Sproat Lake and surrounding watershed. Portions of Two Rivers Arm and Taylor Arm which fall within that extension are not yet fully mapped.RationaleTo date, the Alberni Valley has not been su0ject to the growth rates experienced by the east coast of Vancouver Island. It was therefore felt that the opportunity existed to protect significant fisheries habitats before they became subject to major development pressures. Over recent years, federal and provincial agencies have placed increasing emphasis on local government land use controls to protect environmentally sensitive areas, particularly fisheries habitat. Additionally, local enhancement groups expressed the need for an overview of habitat conditions throughout the Alberni Valley to assist in prioritising enhancement projects and for use in public education. Accurate base mapping is key to all of those endeavours. Prior to the stream mapping project, however, existing cadastral and TRIM mapping was often unreliable in terms of stream location. Deficiencies ranged from streams being delineated inaccurately in relation to property lines, to the complete absence of any map reference to minor creeks and tributaries that are of crucial importance to salmonids.MethodologyThe initial impetus for the mapping program came from a local salmon enhancement group -the Alberni Valley Enhancement Association. They were instrumental in obtaining the initial funding and chaired a steering committee with representatives from the Regional District of Alberni-Clayoquot, the City of Port Alberni, the Regional Aquatic Management Society and the West Coast Sustainability Association. The committee met on a monthly basis to oversee the budget and give overall direction to field work. Day to day administration was the responsibility of staff of the Regional Aquatic Management Society and the West Coast Sustainability Association. From the beginning, local government representatives stressed the importance of accuracy if the mapping were to have credibility for planning purposes. For this reason, a decision was made at the outset, that work crews should be directed by a trained technician; he, in turn, worked closely with mapping technicians from the Regional District and the City of Port Alberni. Because of the degree of local government input into quality control, there is a high level of confidence in the end product. Orthophotos specifically for this project were flown in 1996 and the cadastral map base was subsequently adjusted to fit. AutoCAD is used for cadastral base mapping. Positional stream data was collected by crews using chain and compass and GPS technology to SHIM standards. The data was entered into an Excel spread sheet and imported into ArcView for visual truthing with orthophotos. Field crews were deployed as necessary to rectify inaccuracies. The Stream Atlas was printed using orthophotos flown in 1999. Funding for atlas production was provided by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks through the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund. The mapping project also includes a database with information on fish presence, bank slope and riparian cover. Photos of several of the major creek systems are also included on an accompanying CD.For any questions about this dataset please contact:Amy Wilson, GIS & Mapping Technician, Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District
