  • Successfully operate an all-hazard incident within your agency/jurisdiction common operating picture for your agency and other agencies of the California Emergency Service’s Community.
  • Track multiple concurrent incidents within the State of California predictive analytics for fire and other hazards.
  • Integration and hosting of your agency’s Wildland Fire Pre-Plans.
