Emergency Response requires offline data access. The Hypervoxels project strategy proves that a system combining huge amounts of historical, real-time stream, and user generated data, with the right technology choices, can provide a highly accessible geo-based data system for use during emergencies.
If developed and implemented during peace-time, this system could be adopted rapidly with very few barriers, requiring only a device, web browser, and occasional network access.
Our project is technology agnostic, vendor agnostic, completely open source, and requires no app store, account sign-up or prior knowledge for the public to make full use of the service.
We explored the best technologies that could be used to deliver consistent and accessible data, then used live feeds and historical data related to emergency management, climate, citizen incident reports to create a visualisation that represents what could be built.
We considered uniform data structures, network structures, security architecture, bandwidth constraints, automated system deployment (devops) and software license constraints to develop a national emergency data management strategy.
Work on Babelfish 42.0 resulted in two vector and value datasets converted from their hosted format into geo-located multi-value point data. Those samples did not make it into the ARGIS demo, but proved that we could convert various data formats into hypervoxel database suitable for streaming, distribution, uniformity etc.
Some datasets included in the main web app are listed below.
Wave power: The wave resource data is made available from the jointly funded CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and Australian Renewable Energy Agency Australian Wave Energy Atlas Project.

Bushfire Prone Area (July 2017)
Potential intensity classes within the Bushfire Prone Area are calculated by combining information on Potential Fuel Load, Maximum Landscape Slope and Fire Weather Severity to calculate Potential Fire-line Intensity from Public Safety Business Agency Managed by PublicSafetyQldData

Regional Fire Management - Planned Burns
PCS conducts a number of prescribed burns each year in and around urban and rural areas across Canberra and Googong Foreshore (NSW) to prepare for the upcoming fire season.

Fire History Scar
Aggregated historic fire severity classification from 1998 onward for wildfires. It currently has all of the fire sev classification done from FIRESEV98 to FIRESEV09 as well as Grampians Victoria valley complex 2013 and Grampians northern complex 2014
