Reporter for MRGPThe Reporter for MRGP doesn't require you to download any apps to complete an inventory; all you need is an internet connection and web browser. The Reporter includes culverts and bridges from VTCULVERTS, town highways from Vtrans and the current status of the MRGP segments and outlets on the map.MRGP Fieldworker SolutionNotes on MRGP fieldworker solution: July 12, 2021. The MRGP map now displays the current status of road segments and outlets. Fieldworkers using the MRGP solution should remove the offline map area(s) from their device, and keep their new offline map current, by syncing their map. Enabling auto-sync will get you the current segment or outlet status automatically. See FAQ section below for more information. Road Erosion Inventory forms are available and have a new look and feel this year. The drainage ditch survey is broken out into three pages for a better user experience. The first page contains survey and segment information, the second; the inventory, and the third; barriers to implementation. You will notice the questions are outlined by section so it’s easier to follow along too. The questions have remained the same. Survey123 has a new option requiring users to update surveys on their mobile device. That option has been enabled for the two MRGP Survey123 forms. Step 1: Download the free mobile appsFor fieldworkers to collect and submit data to VT DEC, two free apps are required: ArcGIS Collector or Field Maps and Survey123. ArcGIS Collector or Field Maps is used first to locate the segment or outlet for inventory, and Survey123, for completing the Road Erosion Inventory. ArcGIS Field Maps is ESRI’s new all-in-one app for field work and will replace ArcGIS Collector. You can download ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Fields Maps and Survey123 from the Google Play Store.You can download ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 from Apple Store.

Step 2: Sign into the mobile appYou will need appropriate credentials to access fieldworker solution, please contact your Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation Planner or Jim Ryan (MRGP Program Lead) at (802) 490-6140.Open Collector for ArcGIS, select ‘ArcGIS Online’ as shown below, and enter the user name and password. The credential is saved unless you sign out. Step 3: Open the MRGP Mobile MapIf you’re working in an area that has a reliable data connection (e.g. LTE or 4G), open the map below by selecting it.Step 4: Select a road segment or outlet for inventoryUse your location, button circled in red below, select the segment or outlet you need to inventory, and select 'Update Road Segment Status' from the pop-up to launch Survey123.

Step 5: Complete the Road Erosion Inventory and submit inventory to DECSelecting 'Update Road Segment Status' opens Survey123, downloads the relevant survey and pre-populates the REI with important information for reporting to DEC. You will have to enter the same username and password to access the REI forms. The credential is saved unless you sign out of Survey123.Complete the survey using the appropriate supplement below and submit the assessment directly to VT DEC.Paved Roads with Catch Basin SupplementPaved and Gravel Roads with Drainage Ditches Supplement

Step 6: Repeat!Go back to the ArcGIS Collector or Field Maps and select the next segment for inventory and repeat steps 1-5.

If you have question related to inventory protocol reach out to Jim Ryan, MRGP Program Lead, at jim.ryan@vermont.gov, (802) 490-6140If you have questions about implementing the mobile data collection piece please contact Ryan Knox, ADS-ANR IT, at ryan.knox@vermont.gov, (802) 793-0297

The location where I'm doing inventory does not have a data coverage (LTE or 4G). What can I do?ArcGIS Collector allows you take map areas offline when you think there will be spotty or no data coverage. I made a video to demonstrate the steps for taking map areas offline - https://youtu.be/OEsJrCVT8BISurvey123 operates offline by default but you need to download the survey. My recommendation is to test the fieldworker solution (Steps 1-5) before you go into the field but don't submit the test survey.Where can I download the Road Erosion Scoring shown on the the Atlas? You can download the scoring for both outlets and road segments through the VT Open Geodata Portal.https://geodata.vermont.gov/maps/VTANR::mrgp-scoring-open-data/aboutHow do I use my own ArcGIS Collector map for launching the official MRGP REI survey form? You can use the following custom url for launching Survey123, open the REI and prepopulate answers in the form. More information is here. TIP: add what's below directly in the HTML view of the popup not the link as described in the post I provided.

Open Survey123 and open a blank REI form (Collect button) Note: it's important to open a blank form so you don't save the same segment id for all your surveys Fill-in your 'Name' and 'Organization' and clear the 'Date of Assessment field' (x button). Using the favorites menu in the top-right corner you can use the current state of your survey to 'Set as favorite answers.' Close survey and 'Save this survey in Drafts.' Use Collector to launch survey from selected feature (segment or outlet). Using the favorites menu again, 'Paste answers from favorite.

What if the map doesn't have the outlet or road segment I need to inventory for the MRGP? Go Directly to Survey123 and complete the appropriate Road Erosion Inventory and submit the data to DEC. The survey includes a Geopoint (location) that we can use to determine where you completed the inventory.

This 2019 version of the MRGP Outlets is based on professional mapping completed using DEC's Stormwater Infrastructure dataset. In catch basin systems, work was completed to match outlets to road segments that drain to them. The outlets here correspond to Outlet IDs identified in the Hydrologically connected roads segments layer. For outlets that meet standard, road segments will also meet the standard for MRGP compliance.

Attend this session to find out how teachers are using GIS to engage students in hands-on learning.Engaging Secondary Students with Spatial Community Based ProjectsCory Munro, Saugeen District Secondary School, Bluewater District School BoardStudents become engaged when they collect and analyze data for projects that produce meaningful results. This session will briefly highlight the work of several student and class projects at the local and international level. Forming community partnerships in recent years has provided excellent opportunities for students to build their spatial analysis skills using ArcMap, ArcGIS Online, Survey123, Story Maps, and Collector for ArcGIS. Projects to be highlighted include mapping safe routes to school based on local infrastructure and student surveys, tracking school graduates and their post-secondary destinations, fire safety in Saugeen Shores, and more.

The Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve protects eight miles of last-of-its-kind wild coastline and more than 24,000 acres of oak woodland, chaparral and grassland habitats in Southern California. The preserve, located at Point Conception, Southern California’s “elbow” where the coast bends northward to San Francisco (called “the last perfect place” by the Los Angeles Times) presents significant opportunities for geospatial innovation, among which is the restoration of oak woodlands.

Coast live oaks are among California’s most iconic trees, unique in their ability to thrive in the dynamic, diverse environment. Drought resistant, adapted to fire, and evergreen with a dense, hemispherical crown and complex architecture of branches, they are a keystone species of coastal woodlands and the dominant feature on more than 6,000 acres of the preserve’s land. However, despite its wide distribution and because of its unique habitat characteristics, areas of the coastal oak woodland need serious attention.

The large-scale restoration project is driven by orders from the California Coastal Commission that were transferred to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) when it purchased the property in 2017. Using coast live oak acorns and seedlings collected from the preserve, restoration managers are beginning the project by re-planting 200 acres. To monitor the project’s health and progress, TNC enlisted the interconnected suite of ArcGIS Apps for the field including Collector, Survey 123 and Operations Dashboards, coordinated and hosted through ArcGIS Online. When used in conjunction, these applications enable project teams to capture critical spatial information on the location, health and condition of each tree planted. The ongoing work is conducted by a spatially distributed team of project managers and scientists who access real-time information that supports timely decision-making. Further, the map and report structure allow for the generation of complete annual monitoring reports that are required by the Coastal Commission.

The trees will be monitored for five years; metrics on each individual will be collected annually and updated live in the operations dashboard. This project, one of many taking place on the preserve, relies on quick, reliable data capture and delivery in order to ensure that the preserve remains the last perfect place in California.

This is Version 4 of the CUSEC Building Safety Evaluation Survey123 Form (previously available as a Geoform or Collector App), created from feedback from MOSAVE, INSPARK, TNSAVE. For Training and Exercise Use Only.

Data collected with this form can be visualized in the Building Safety Evaluation Dashboard. More information: Following a large disaster, thousands of damaged buildings may need to be quickly surveyed to determine their safety and habitability. Traditional survey methods can be time consuming and inefficient. In 2015, the Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC) created a FREE mobile data collection app to address this issue. The "Safety Evaluation App" captures post-disaster safety assessments into a geographic information system (GIS) that can be used by emergency managers and decision makers to improve disaster response and recovery efforts. Trained engineers and architects can use the app quickly document whether or not buildings are safe to occupy following an earthquake, wind, or flood event. Instead of using paper forms that are time-consuming and cumbersome to enter into a GIS database, assessment teams can use the app on iOS, Android, or Windows-based smartphones and tablets. Updates and Improvements over Previous Version:Updated name to Building Safety Evaluation FormUpdated to use Survey123 (while Geoform and Collector are still supported, they are no longer being actively maintained).When opening this form using the native iOS or Android App, the basemap includes a GNIS survey grid and locations of previously collected building assessments.Survey automatically populates address information from the devices GPS location. This address can be changed by the user using the form. Please leave feedback or questions in the Comments section below.
