Operations Response - NAPSG Tutorial

Tutorial Audience: GIS / Technology Specialists
End User Audience: Emergency Management Planning and Operations Staff
Problem: Your County Emergency Management Agency is planning a training exercise and wants to make use of “Web GIS.” Typically, they have you print out a new wall map each operational period and the status of facilities (e.g. shelters) are maintained in spreadsheets. This time they want to coordinate planning and operations across multiple locations, with everyone having the most up to date information on a live map. For example, they want to be able update the status of evacuation zones and shelters without requiring GIS expertise. Can you provide them with a web app that gives them some simple tools and just the layers they need to get started? Use a simulated flood or any other incident type to guide you through this process.
Solution: Operations Response App
Requirements: You will need a license for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online to complete this tutorial.
Note: This application is used with the Public Information Application Tutorial.
