GIS Mapping seamlessly integrates powerful mapping capabilities into your emergency management workflow. Leveraging Esri ArcGIS base-layers, our GIS Mapping offers satellite imagery, street maps, geocoding, clustered visualizations, annotations, and image overlays. When you start a new channel, the location set on the Situation Report is pinned to the map, and all other location fields throughout the channel feed back to the main map. Visualize incident locations, track resources, and monitor the evolving situation on an interactive map, enabling informed decisions and effective coordination across your organization.
The GIS Mapping feature in D4H provides interactive maps with Esri ArcGIS base-layers, allowing for satellite imagery, street maps, geocoding, clustered visualizations, annotations, and image overlays. It enhances situational awareness and incident management.
When you start a new channel, the location set on the Incident Summary is pinned to the map. All other location fields used throughout the channel, such as in tasks or on status boards, also feed back to the main map, ensuring a comprehensive view of all relevant locations.
The drawing tools can be used to mark areas of interest on the map, such as:
Yes, you can display tasks and status boards on the map. This allows you to see the location spread of tasks and the distribution of status information across the event or incident.
Yes, you can change the basemap or add custom basemaps. You also have the ability to add weather layers to the map, providing additional context and information for incident management.
The available weather layers include temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, pressure, precipitation, cloud cover, and visibility. These layers can be added to the map for enhanced situational awareness.
By providing a visual representation of the incident, D4H GIS Mapping allows you to quickly assess the situation, identify potential risks, and make informed decisions about resource deployment and tactical operations.
