Councilman Information Society of the City of Lorca, Francisco Garcia, has reported that "from the city of Lorca is opened to the public the internal working tool that the city council introduced for geolocation and mechanization of the chips resulting from inspections were conducted at the buildings, both municipal and volunteer technicians. It is a tool that facilitates access to information and also helps to understand the magnitude of the disaster.
Francisco Garcia has said that this application arose as a result of earthquakes before the emergency arose and the need to equip ourselves with the most advanced technological means at our disposal, we allow the best possible management.
We are talking about a web viewer that comes from internal tool that was created in record time (48 hours) and whose main task has been to collect thousands of pieces of technical inspections by the buildings affected by earthquakes Lorca .
Machining these chips has been a difficult and ongoing task, and the subsequent quality controls to which they have had to submit.
Nevertheless the continuing evolution of building codes and still no breaks occur daily changes that will update the data provided.
Derived from the primary database has been generated for internal use various municipal applications, but come this time we find it significant and appropriate, to enable a public map viewer provide a detailed overview of the state of condition of buildings, and the possibility collaboration with citizens in cases where rush for repairs or absence of inspection indicated the level of involvement varies.
The geographic viewer is simple, intuitive, and although it has detailed instructions for use on the login page.
Can be accessed from the home page by clicking on the banner www.lorca.es identification.
Cartographic support bases are lightweight and include a geolocator to position the desired location by address, but is also available with the mouse movement.
In order to see the content must approach sufficiently enabled by zooming to the left of the screen.
On the map that we can choose the palette that appears at the top right shows the different color codes (which also allows activation or deactivation in the right margin selector) identifying the degree of involvement of the building.
Green, yellow, or red.
These colors has joined the black for those demolished buildings or demolition current record.
A handy tool that includes 6319 chips
There are a total of 6319 machined chips, of which 4014 are Green, 1370 yellow, 762 red and 173 Black.
Garcia wanted to underline the enormous work that has brought all these chips machined the difficulty encountered in buildings in the spread.
In fact many of them have not been properly georeferenced and are grouped in areas close to the place they belong.
All these will leave debugging on the extent to which owners and technicians provide the necessary data.
When using this application must bear in mind that during the first days after the earthquake proceeded to record all the cards collected regardless of the degree of affection.
Subsequently, given the large amount of data it was decided to machine only had records of inspections condition, obviously the green, except for changes resulting from improvements or more extensive revisions to do so.
Francisco Garcia has underscored the important participation that has had this project, which has enjoyed the cooperation of companies like Nevintec, or Aguas de Lorca Arnaiz, a large group of volunteers among them UMU volunteers, and of course a large group of staff hours worked without limit, especially since the council of the Information Society.
