Accurate and timely population data are necessary for Search-and-Rescue personnel and first responders. Population data is often mapped using large geographic areas, making it difficult to determine the area's actual population. This project uses 1-km gridded maps as grids to more accurately reflect population density. The U.S. National Grid (USNG) 1-km format is used as a recognized Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) standard and is already familiar to many rescuers. SARTopo is a web-based GIS system that can be accessed via any web browser, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The instructions below will aid in accessing SARTopo and loading population data into the maps. The USNG 1-km 2020 Population data was processed utilizing the WorldPop Constrained 100m PPP (persons per pixel) population counts for the United States of American and can be located at the web address https://www.worldpop.org/geodata/summary?id=49727. Furthermore, the USNG 1-km data can be access via the website, https://usngcenter.org/portfolio-item/usng-gis-data/. The USNG 1-km 2020 Population datasets were processed via FSU, FREAC. These maps were intended for use with the SARTopo platform. Permission for using and distributing this data must be granted via FSU, FREAC, and CalTopo.This dataset was developed under the guidance of the U.S. National Grid Institute to support Search-and Rescue missions.  The original data is from WorldPop.org, converted to a 1-km USNG format courtesy of the Demographic Division of the California Division of Finance, and mapped and hosted at the Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center, Florida State University.
