Don, do you have an organizational account? If so you can upload your files as a feature service which also uploads labels. All you have to do is open an empty mxd, add your layer you want to upload, change the symbology and add labels, and then upload it through ArcGIS Desktop to your organizational content. If you don't have an organizational account , try this and this. Hope this helps! Tim ... View more

Joe, If you have an organizational account, I would add your normal road layer as a feature service and then also add a "damaged/closed" road layer, that has edit enabled. I would create this layer in a geodatabase, which enables you to create domains, which result in dropdown boxes once importat into ArcGIS Online. I would create one column called Active/Inactive depending if the road is still blocked or cleared (with this you can later do a summary of all roads that have been blocked/damaged, without having to delete them). Next I would have a column with the possibilities of the road condition (i.e. blocked, damaged, destroyed...). Later you can use this column to summarize different damage types. With the new changes coming to the ArcGIS Collector map, your field crew is able to digitize lines and with the dropdowns created in your geodatabase, they can gather information very quickly, regarding road conditions. Hope this helps! Fellow EOC GIS person, Tim 🙂 ... View more

Mitchell, after your create your dual range address locator, make sure to right click your locator in ArcCatalog ->Properties -> Geocoding options There set "Match without house number" to "Yes" and set "Match with no zones" to "Yes". Now open a fresh MXD, if you have that locator already in use, remove it and then re-add it. If it is not in your list of locators just add it and use it. Now you should be able to find intersections. Tim ... View more
