This step will determine which set of instructions you follow going forward. First, figure out if your institution has an ArcGIS organization account by searching your library or tech/data services website for ArcGIS materials, guides, contact info, etc.

it is really quick and easy to add users to your ArcGIS Online organisation. You can add users individually or as a batch of up to 200 users using a csv file. Watch the short videos below to find out how.

In order to do anything with the StoryMap template we have created, you need your own copy in your own ArcGIS account. In the process, we're also going to give you a course website - you can use it if you like or not, but it turns out it's the easiest way to get a copy of the template into your account.Navigate to your ArcGIS homepage and sign in with your institutional login.Click to the "Hub" menu by clicking the square of dots near your name in the upper right (the app menu), and finding "Hub" Select "New Initiative"Select "Browse Templates"Select "World" under Published by and search for "Teaching Research." Our template should be the only one to pop up. Click "Activate Initiative." Name your initiative for your class and click "go." After a minute or two, you'll arrive at a template of a website (called a Hub by Esri) that you can customize for your class. ESRI has a guide to editing your Hub, or you can just click and replace text as you see fit within the template. You need to save content as you go and make sure you hit publish any time you want to update live content for your Hub. If you do not want the website, ignore it and move on to the next step.You now have a copy of the StoryMap template that you can edit to suit your needs. Practice finding it by navigating directly to storymaps.arcgis.com and signing in. You should see "Learning StoryMaps" at the top of your content. You can also find it by navigating to your content folder at arcgis.com . Open the template and create a duplicate the template by clicking the three dots at the top right and select "duplicate story." Your newly created copy of the StoryMap will open with the word "(Copy)" in front of the title. This way you always have a clean copy of the template in your content to come back to as needed. Your new template copy will be named "(Copy) Learning StoryMaps."

This web map features a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data created and hosted by Esri. Esri produced this vector tile basemap in ArcGIS Pro from a live replica of OSM data, hosted by Esri, and rendered using a creative cartographic style emulating a blueprint technical drawing. The vector tiles are updated every few weeks with the latest OSM data. This vector basemap is freely available for any user or developer to build into their web map or web mapping apps.OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather _location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap site: www.OpenStreetMap.org. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project and is excited to make this new vector basemap available available to the OSM, GIS, and Developer communities.

Last Update: 06/18/2025 with v10 launch and Reverse Geocode HotfixRequires ArcGIS Pro 3.3.xThis is a file structure with ArcGIS Pro project and layout templates for supporting Urban Search and Rescue Teams in 2024. It points to the latest feature layers and is based on the NWCG Wildfire GIS templates.Updates to this project can be found in the Read Me text document in the root folder of the template after downloading. Some patch notes can also be found below in the comments.Special thanks to NIFC and the Wildfire GIS Community for the starting template. For more documentation see NWCG Standards for Geospatial Operations, PMS 936 | NWCGYOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS any incident data unless you are a member of the NSARGC Group.If the template brings you to a screen saying "Invalid Token", you may need to try downloading it again. How to deploy templateThis template is not a traditional ArcGIS Pro template. When you download this template, you are downloading the full folder structure, pre-made map projects, layouts, databases, and tools that have been designed to work alongside SARCOP. This "template" does not use the "Create a project from a template" workflow within Pro, rather you are downloading the full project, and it can be modified as you see fit from there. Below are the recommended steps to take to deploy the template.Download the template anywhere on your PC by clicking the Download button on the top right below Sign In and Overview. This will download as a Zipped folder, likely to your Downloads folder.Go to the C drive of your computer and create a new folder called "Incidents", then create another folder within that Incidents folder with the name of the incident you are using the template for. For example, if the incident name is "Hurricane Lisa", the folder path should look something like "C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa".Extract the zipped folder contents from step 1 to that new incident folder you created in step 2. In the Hurricane Lisa example, data would be extracted to C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa.Go to the newly extracted folders and find the Projects folder. Open that and double click on any APRX file to begin work.
