Tutorial Audience: GIS / Technology SpecialistsEnd User Audience: Emergency Management Planning and Operations StaffProblem: 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 AppRequirements: 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.

Purpose: This is a web map used for a situational awareness viewer. Click on links below for more information, this is just a summary of the layers in this map as of 09/14/2018.Live Data Live Feed - Storm Reports (NOAA) - This map contains continuously updated U.S. tornado reports, wind storm reports and hail storm reports. You can click on each to receive information about the specific location and read a short description about the issue. Live Feed - Observed Weather (NOAA METAR) - Current wind and weather conditions at all METAR stations.Live Feed: Open Shelters (FEMA / Red Cross National Shelter System) - his web service displays data from the FEMA National Shelter System database. The FEMA NSS database is synchronized every morning with the American Red Cross shelter database. After this daily refresh, FEMA GIS connects every 20 minutes to the FEMA NSS database looking for any shelter updates that occur throughout the day in the the FEMA NSS.Live Feed: Active Hurricanes - Hurricane tracks and positions provide information on where the storm has been, where is it going, where it is currently located and the category as defined by wind speed. This data is provided by NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC).Live Feed Action Level Stream Gauges (USGS) - This map service shows those gauges from the Live Stream Gauge layer that are currently flooding. It only includes those gauges where flood stages have been defined by the contributing agencies. Action stage represents the river depth at which the agency begins preparing for a flood and taking mitigative action.Live Feed: USA Short-Term Weather Warnings - This layer presents continuously updated US weather warnings. You can click on each to receive information about the specific location and read a short description about the issue. Each layer is updated every minute with data provided by NOAA’s National Weather Service - http://www.nws.noaa.gov/regsci/gis/shapefiles/.Live Feed: Power Outages - Current power outage data reported by the EARSS system.Live Feed: Radar (NOAA) - Quality Controlled 1km x 1km CONUS Radar Base Reflectivity. This data is provided by Mutil-Radar-Multi-Sensor (MRMS) algorithm.Flood Prediction / Simulation (Created on 09/13 by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory RIFT Model) - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory RIFT Model: The simulations, based on NOAA weather forecasts, are used to improve understanding of the storm and its potential flood impacts. The simulations were created with PNNL's Rapid Inundation Flood Tool, a two-dimensional hydrodynamic computer model.Base Data - FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer - The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) dataset represents the current effective flood data for the country, where maps have been modernized. It is a compilation of effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases and Letters of Map Change (LOMCs). The NFHL is updated as studies go effective. For more information, visit FEMA's Map Service Center (MSC). Base Data - Storm Surge Scenarios (NOAA) - This mapping service displays near worst case storm surge flooding (inundation) scenarios for the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. This map service was derived from an experimental storm surge data product developed by the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Contents: This is an ArcGIS Pro zip file that you can download and use for creating map books based on United States National Grid (USNG). It contains a geodatabase, layouts, and tasks designed to teach you how to create a basic map book.Version 1.0.0 Uploaded on May 24th and created with ArcGIS Pro 2.1.3 - Please see the README below before getting started!Updated to 1.1.0 on August 20thUpdated to 1.2.0 on September 7thUpdated to 2.0.0 on October 12thUpdate to 2.1.0 on December 29thBack to 1.2.0 due to breaking changes in the templateBack to 1.0.0 due to breaking changes in the template as of June 11th 2019Updated to 2.1.1 on October 8th 2019Audience: GIS Professionals and new users of ArcGIS Pro who support Public Safety agencies with map books. If you are looking for apps that can be used by any public safety professional, see the USNG Lookup Viewer.Purpose: To teach you how to make a map book with critical infrastructure and a basemap, based on USNG. You NEED to follow the steps in the task and not try to take shortcuts the first time you use this task in order to receive the full benefits. Background: This ArcGIS Pro template is meant to be a starting point for your map book projects and is based on best practices by the USNG National Implementation Center (TUNIC) at Delta State University and is hosted by the NAPSG Foundation. This does not replace previous templates created in ArcMap, but is a new experimental approach to making map books. We will continue to refine this template and work with other organizations to make improvements over time. So please send us your feedback admin@publicsafetygis.org and comments below. Instructions: Download the zip file by clicking on the thumbnail or the Download button.Unzip the file to an appropriate location on your computer (C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects is a common location for ArcGIS Pro Projects).Open the USNG Map book Project File (APRX).If the Task is not already open by default, navigate to Catalog > Tasks > and open 'Create a US National Grid Map Book' Follow the instructions! This task will have some automated processes and models that run in the background but you should pay close attention to the instructions so you also learn all of the steps. This will allow you to innovate and customize the template for your own use.FAQsWhat is US National Grid? The US National Grid (USNG) is a point and area reference system that provides for actionable location information in a uniform format. Its use helps achieve consistent situational awareness across all levels of government, disciplines, and threats & hazards – regardless of your role in an incident.One of the key resources NAPSG makes available to support emergency responders is a basic USNG situational awareness application. See the NAPSG Foundation and USNG Center websites for more information.What is an ArcGIS Pro Task? A task is a set of preconfigured steps that guide you and others through a workflow or business process. A task can be used to implement a best-practice workflow, improve the efficiency of a workflow, or create a series of interactive tutorial steps. See "What is a Task?" for more information.Do I need to be proficient in ArcGIS Pro to use this template? We feel that this is a good starting point if you have already taken the ArcGIS Pro QuickStart Tutorials. While the task will automate many steps, you will want to get comfortable with the map layouts and other new features in ArcGIS Pro.Is this template free? This resources is provided at no-cost, but also with no guarantees of quality assurance or support at this time. Can't I just use ArcMap? Ok - here you go. USNG 1:24K Map Template for ArcMapKnown Limitations and BugsZoom To: It appears there may be a bug or limitation with automatically zooming the map to the proper extent, so get comfortable with navigation or zoom to feature via the attribute table.FGDC Compliance: We are seeking feedback from experts in the field to make sure that this meets minimum requirements. At this point in time we do not claim to have any official endorsement of standardization. File Size: Highly detailed basemaps can really add up and contribute to your overall file size, especially over a large area / many pages. Consider making a simple "Basemap" of street centerlines and building footprints.We will do the best we can to address limitations and are very open to feedback!

These are a set of features that includes fire, radioactive release, hazardous materials release, and other human related disasters. Some of these feature can portray ongoing events or events that have the potential of happening that create hazards to responders or citizens.

Crowdsourcing is a way to obtain information from the public by enlisting the services of the general public or volunteers via the Internet. This can be a valuable source of information during a disaster if it is done in a way that answers important questions, for instance:

• Where are roads obstructed by standing water?

• What homes have individuals that need assistance evacuating?

• Where are debris that needs to be removed?

Tutorial Audience: GIS / Technology SpecialistsEnd User Audience: Emergency Management Planning and Operations Staff

Problem: The emergency management agency has requested that you prepare a crowdsourcing solution in advance of the next disaster. The data collected must be structured in a way so that it is informative and actionable for decision makers. Your crowdsourcing app should be:

• Fast and easy to use for the Public.

• The database behind it should contain structured information that answers specific questions for emergency managers (e.g. Where are the hazards? How severe is it? Where should we focus our resources?).

• Allows for submitting attachments such as photos.

Public Information is a configuration of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS that can be used by the public to review authoritative emergency information and understand the status of an incident or event.

Tutorial Audience: GIS / Technology SpecialistsEnd User Audience: Emergency Management Planning and Operations Staff

Problem: The Public needs situational awareness as much as emergency managers and first responders. They want answers to questions like – Do I need to evacuate? Where can I go for more information or protection? How do I get there / are there any road closures?Solution: Public Information Web Mapping ApplicationRequirements: You will need a license for ArcGIS Online to complete this tutorial.Note: This tutorial works with the Operations Response Tutorial.
