ICS-209-PLUS - An all-hazards dataset mined from the US National Incident Management System 1999-2014

<b>Abstract</b><b>This paper describes a new dataset mined from the public archive (1999-2014) of the U.S. National Incident Management System/Incident Command System Incident Status Summary Form (a total of 124,411 reports for 25,083 incidents, including 24,608 wildfires). This system captures detailed information on incident management costs, personnel, hazard characteristics, values at risk, fatalities, and structural damage. Most (98.5%) of the reports are fire-related, followed in decreasing order by <i>other</i>, hurricane, hazardous materials, flood, tornado, search and rescue, civil unrest, and winter storms. The archive, although publicly available, has been difficult to use due to multiple record formats, inconsistent free-form fields, and no bridge between individual reports and high-level incident analysis. Here, we describe this improved dataset and the open, reproducible methods used, including merging records across three versions of the system, cleaning and aligning with the current system, smoothing values across reports, and supporting incident-level analysis. This integrated record offers the opportunity to explore the daily progression of the most costly, damaging, and deadly events in the U.S., particularly for wildfires. </b><b> </b><b>External Tables referred to in the original manuscript:</b><b> </b><b>ics209_sitreps_short_masterlist.zip</b><b>ics209-plus_sitrep_definitions.zip</b><b>ics209-plus-wf_incident_definitions.zip</b><b>sit209_lookup_codes_definitions.zip</b><b>fod-join_definitions.zip</b><b> </b><b>Data Description:</b><b>The 'ics209_raw.zip' file contains all of the yearly raw databases and associated lookup tables to run the cleaning algorithm (https://github.com/lisestdenis/ics209plus).</b><b> </b><b>The 'ics209_cleaned.zip' file contain the resulting databases from the cleaning produce (code found here: https://github.com/lisestdenis/ics209plus.

<b>摘要</b><b>本文介绍了一个从美国国家事件管理系统/事件指挥系统（U.S. National Incident Management System/Incident Command System）事件状态汇总表的公开档案（1999-2014年）中挖掘得到的新型数据集，该档案共包含25083起事件的124411份报告，其中24608起为野火事件。该系统收录了事件管理成本、人员配置、灾害特征、受威胁资产价值、伤亡情况以及结构破坏等详细信息。其中98.5%的报告与火灾相关，其余按占比从高到低依次为<i>其他</i>、飓风、危险材料、洪水、龙卷风、搜救、民事骚乱以及冬季风暴。该公开档案虽可获取，但由于记录格式多样、自由格式字段不统一，且缺乏单个报告与高层级事件分析之间的关联桥梁，导致其难以直接使用。本文介绍了经优化后的该数据集，以及所用的开源可复现方法，包括合并该系统三个版本的记录、清洗并对齐至当前系统版本、对各报告间的数值进行平滑处理，以及支持事件级别的分析。该整合后的数据集可用于研究美国各类损失最惨重、破坏最严重且伤亡最多的灾害的每日演进过程，尤其适用于野火相关研究。</b><b> </b><b>原文提及的外部附表：</b><b> </b><b>ics209_sitreps_short_masterlist.zip</b><b>ics209-plus_sitrep_definitions.zip</b><b>ics209-plus-wf_incident_definitions.zip</b><b>sit209_lookup_codes_definitions.zip</b><b>fod-join_definitions.zip</b><b> </b><b>数据说明：</b><b>"ics209_raw.zip" 文件包含用于运行清洗算法的所有年度原始数据库及相关查找表（代码仓库：https://github.com/lisestdenis/ics209plus）。</b><b> </b><b>"ics209_cleaned.zip" 文件包含经清洗流程生成的数据库（代码仓库：https://github.com/lisestdenis/ics209plus）。该压缩包内包含4个二级压缩文件，具体说明如下：</b><b> </b><b>ics209-plus.zip</b><b>：包含1个文件，对应ICS209系统中所有灾害类型的每日报告级数据。</b><b> </b><b>ics209-plus-wf.zip</b><b>：包含3个文件，对应ICS209数据库中的纯野火事件数据，分别为每日报告级文件（ics209-plus-wf_sitreps_1999to2014.csv）、事件级文件（ics209-plus-wf_incidents_1999to2014.csv）以及相关野火复合体关联文件（ics209-plus-wf_complex_assocs_1999to2013.csv）。</b><b> </b><b>ics209-plus_incidents_spatial.zip</b><b>：包含1个*.gpkg文件，为经空间清洗后的事件级数据文件。</b><b> </b><b>ics209_sitreps_deleted.zip</b><b>：原始数据中所有已删除事件的列表。</b>
