If you deployed version 2.0 of the Road Closures solution, you can deploy the Special Events solution and it will use the layer provided with Road Closures. You can then keep the workflows you describe for road closures and add any new workflows for the Special Events maps.

Jennifer - The Road Closures solution is designed to maintain a comprehensive inventory of road closures and share authoritative closures with leading consumer mapping applications. I don't anticipate us adding a polygon feature that would allow you to capture an area that might be impacted. Saying that, sharing your closures (linear features) with Esri's Community Maps Road Closures Live Feed helps you syndicate that data broadly and increase awareness when residents and visitors are in the area. If you want to capture more detailed event maps, I would take a look at our Special Events solutions. They contain a series of layers that help you develop event maps like you describe. Special Event Permitting can be used to collect special event permits, manage the permit review process, and promote special events occurring in the community. It contains a Special Event Site Map Editor you could use to develop special event site maps. Special Event Operations can be used to develop event operational maps for police and fire agencies and increase situational awareness during special events. It contains Event Operations Maps you could use to capture special event site maps and security plans. One final note - the special event solutions also use the same road closures layer used in the Road Closures solution so any closures captured for an event can be shared broadly. Scott

Wind sites, or wind farms, are locations where groups of wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind to electricity and transmit it to the electrical grid. The number, and size, of onshore and offshore wind sites are increasing as the use of sustainable energy grows. As a result, operators need to understand where assets are located on their sites and what condition they are in. If you are a renewable organization who wants to develop an authoritative inventory of wind site assets and share this information with internal stakeholders, we believe the Wind Site Data Management solution will help. Wind Site Data Management will help renewables organizations map wind electricity generation sites in 2D and 3D, edit data, view site maps in the field and office, and view asset reports.

Wildland fires are a formidable natural hazard that can be difficult to prevent and control. The rising incidence and intensity of wildfires, coupled with expanding development in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), underscore the necessity for communities to proactively prepare for wildfire hazards. Communities with high wildfire risk may even develop a formal Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to reduce wildfire risks and enhance public safety. If you are an emergency management agency or fire department who wants to formally assess wildfire risk and identify effective mitigation activities, we believe the Wildfire Protection Planning solution will help. Wildfire Protection Planning will help organizations analyze historical wildfire patterns, evaluate their effects on structures, and prioritize mitigation efforts that minimize wildfire impacts on people and property.

Many infrastructure organizations are facing increased austerity and effective project cost estimation helps utilities, public works, and many other organizations optimize their capital budgets. Accurate cost projections early in the planning process mitigate future project delays and cost overruns. If you are an organization who wants to define new capital projects from existing asset information and quickly generate initial cost estimates, we believe the Project Cost Estimator solution will help. Project Cost Estimator will help organizations create preliminary infrastructure project cost estimates and quickly update project costs as needs change.

Public transit agencies aim to provide high-quality transit services and on-time performance is one of the most common measures of an agency’s service reliability and efficiency. Maintaining on-time performance also helps transit agencies optimize route planning and scheduling, which minimizes the impact of unexpected delays. If you are a transit agency who wants to leverage real-time vehicle locations to understand how transit services align with published schedules, we believe the Transit On-Time Performance solution will help. Transit On-Time Performance will help transit agencies track on-time performance metrics in real-time and analyze historical trends in transit system efficiency.

Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) combine techniques and specific infrastructure to manage runoff and protect water quality. They can be located on public and private land and routine inspections are essential to ensure they continue to function properly. If you are an organization who wants to understand where stormwater BMP assets are located and implement a comprehensive inspection program, we believe the Stormwater BMP Inspections solution will help. Stormwater BMP Inspections will help organizations streamline stormwater inspections, manage private BMP maintenance submissions, and monitor overall BMP inspection activities.

Over the next few weeks, we will give you a sneak peek of each new solution we are delivering for state and local governments, utilities, and public safety agencies. We will try to answer any questions you might have prior to our release, and you’ll find a host of resources available for each new solution when we release in July. Sneak Peek #1: Sidewalk Management Sidewalks and curb ramps within the public right-of-way are essential community assets. Walkable pedestrian infrastructures significantly enhance the quality of life for all residents. Unfortunately, sidewalks and curb ramps deteriorate over time and accessibility standards have driven the need for further improvements. If you are an organization who wants to understand where sidewalks are present in your community, and what condition these assets are in, we believe the Sidewalk Management solution will help. Sidewalk Management will help organizations create a comprehensive inventory of sidewalks and curb ramps, streamline assessment and maintenance activities, and understand conditions and compliance.

The ability to deploy individual information products in an ArcGIS Solution is something we are considering long-term. I would encourage everyone to use the What you Get and new ArcGIS Solutions Diagrams to learn more about the information products in a solution. The diagrams offer a comprehensive view of each ArcGIS item contained in a solution and helps you quickly understand dependencies between items. It will help you quickly understand which ArcGIS items you might need if you just want to use a specific capability in a solution.

Road closures can throw a wrench into our daily routines and travel plans. While email, social media, and government websites are commonly used to share this information, most of us rely on consumer mapping apps to get around. To tackle these challenges, Esri has taken a significant step forward by enhancing its Community Maps Program. Now, ArcGIS users can seamlessly provide road closure data to Apple Maps and TomTom, ensuring that residents and visitors have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips. If you're an ArcGIS user, start contributing road closure data today and help improve the way we navigate our world.

Rapid needs assessments identify urgent community health needs during emergencies or public health crises. Information gathered during the assessments help health and emergency management agencies make informed decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate community preparedness. Understanding where health needs are the greatest helps direct services, funding, and resources to those i need.    If you are a health and human services or emergency management agency who wants to quickly assess community health needs, we believe the Rapid Needs Assessment solution will help. Rapid Needs Assessment will help health and emergency management organizations define household survey areas, identify community needs, and monitor disaster response or health action plan indicators as the assessments occur. Rapid Needs Assessment can be used to define household survey areas, identify community needs, and monitor disaster response or health action plan indicators.

Invasive pests are a constant threat to the world's agricultural trade systems and governments have established inspection programs to combat these threats and protect crop yields. Pest inspection programs also ensure that public agencies comply with regulations and protect public, or private, lands. While routine inspections can reduce the risk of infestation, the sheer volume of trapping sites makes it difficult to inspect every site. If you are a government agency who wants optimize pest detection operations and measure program performance, we believe the Invasive Pest Management solution will help. Invasive Pest Management will help state and local governments develop pest trapping plans, perform field inspections, monitor program metrics, and share program information with stakeholders. Invasive Pest Management can be used to develop pest trapping plans, perform field inspections, monitor program metrics, and share program information.

@VeronicaSarver - I would just echo what @Laura noted above. Over the last 18 months, we have been actively updating ArcGIS Solutions and replacing WAB configurations with new configurable apps. That doesn't necessarily mean every WAB configuration will be an ExB configuration. We evaluate capabilities available across ArcGIS each time we update a solution and pick the most appropriate configurable app. Typically, that means existing WAB configurations are replaced with Instant Apps, ArcGIS Dashboards, or an ExB configuration. The Plans and Drawings solution was updated in late 2023. I'd encourage you to deploy the update and check it out. You will get two new app configurations and associated maps. We did not change the underlying layer so the update will work with your existing content. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
