Incident Journal Job Aid

PurposeThis job aid will lead the GIS analyst through the process of manually creating an incident map journal and how to create additional pages for the journal. This process should be used at the beginning of an incident and then the journal should be maintained to assure it remains viable. The incident map journal serves as a curated center to place maps, apps, and dashboards relevant to the incident. 

This job aid assumes a working knowledge of how to create maps, apps, and dashboards on ArcGIS Online. For a tutorial, go to the Create apps from maps - ArcGIS Tutorial.Example workflow for the Geo-Enabled Plans Session at InSPIRE.  Job Aid developed by FEMA GIS to enable GIS analysts to rapidly spin-up a standardized incident journal.
