The Web AppBuilder Team has done a fantastic job of supporting the US National Grid with the Grid Overlay, Grid Reference, Coordinate Conversion, etc. but this is a capability that needs to be pervasive throughout all apps. Audience: All First Responders and Emergency Managers Problem: US National Grid is the official coordinate notation for points and areas for search and rescue and emergency management. Solution: Provide Grid Overlay capabilities in the following apps - Operations Dashboard Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS - Explorer for ArcGIS Explorer for ArcGIS - Collector for ArcGIS Collector for ArcGIS - Survey123 for ArcGIS Survey123 for ArcGIS

Lesson: Prepare for Search and Rescue Incidents | Learn ArcGIS After a few years of teaching how to deploy MapSAR Online, Alix Vezina and I decided it was time to open up the no-cost training to a much wider audience. In this lesson, you'll create a web map to prepare data for search operations. Your map will contain static base data showing regional boundaries and key features, as well as editable layers that can be changed as an incident develops. Then, you'll use the map to create a web app that even non-GIS professionals can use. Finally, you'll use the app to track a fictional SAR mission. We worked with the Learn ArcGIS team to produce a lesson that walks you through the following steps: Create a map Create and configure a web map with base and incident data. 30 minutes Create an app Create and configure a web app with tools to support search operations. 1 hour 15 minutes Map a search operation Use the app to map a fictitious search and rescue operation as it happens. 1 hour 15 minutes This will give a GIS professional a basic understanding of search and rescue OR a SAR professional a basic overview of how ArcGIS Online works. The app you create is using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS. Here is an older video on how the app works (needs an update but will give you a general idea of the approach) Introduction to MapSAR Online (for SARGIS) - YouTube We plan to do follow up blog posts on topics: - Integration with ArcGIS Pro (including GitHub - dferguso/MapSAR_Pro: ArcGIS Pro template for Search and Rescue ) - Integration with Survey123 for ArcGIS - Integration with SARTopo - Archiving Incidents - Spatial Analysis - +More

This is critical to a search and rescue workflow (see MapSAR Online GitHub - pjdohertygis/MapSAROnline: MapSAR Online is a research and development project to enable WiSAR teams to easily … ) and soon to be released Learn Lesson. Audience: Search and Rescue, Planning Section Real-world Problem: When planning missing person search operations we often need to search trail or stream corridors with a specified "sweep width". Technical Problem: We would like to construct search assignments by selecting a trail or drawing a route (polyline) and then buffering by a specified distance depending on the search scenario (10m on either side of the trail). Technology: Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS In ArcGIS Desktop we used a tool by Doug Morgenthaler and team (GitHub - dougmo/mapsar-arcgis: Collection of editing tools included with MapSAR for buffering polylines, but would like this same capability in Web AppBuilder to make this capability more accessible to non-GIS Specialists. This is critical to the adoption of MapSAR Online, as other web mapping software currently have this capability (see SARTopo - Backcountry Mapping Evolved).

Access the Podcast: GIS in Urban Search and Rescue – Mapping Technology in Public Safety Mapping Tech in Public Safety interviewed Chief John Morrison with the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department and Battalion Chief Ry Kendrick with the Fairfax County Fire Department. Both are members of the Virginia Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (see bios below). We discussed practical uses of mapping in public safety and talked about a lot of John’s and Ry’s experience using mapping in USAR from Puerto Rico to Nepal. Many of the key takeaways from our discussion include: Need access to a lot of data but need to view it in an actionable and focused way Need to have a quick turn around when requesting mapping Keep things simple and portable when possible Drill and train on the GIS and map resources before you use them in real life

Real-world Problem: In emergency management both internal situational awareness maps and public information maps can be used to provide near real-time information to stakeholders. However, it is a challenge to convey that the map will automatically update and when it will update. Audience: Emergency Managers, the Public Software: Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Online Proposed Solution: A countdown timer that will tell you when the map will look for updates. How would it work? When I set the refresh interval for my map, it also ticks on a message somewhere in the App header or layer list widget that is a countdown. Alternatively, it could be a new widget tied to the refresh interval. Here is an example using the Australian "Fires Near Me" app Fires Near Me Of course you could use Operations Dashboard for some maps, but in many cases Web AppBuilder is a better fit, especially the Situational Awareness and Public Information Solution configurations.

Dan Patterson thank you for the quick reply. As soon as I clicked "Post" I thought of this myself. When I used to teach ArcMap I encouraged the use of C:/GIS and will go back to that here for this lesson. I just had hoped ArcGIS Pro somehow fixed this since it defaults to the "Documents" folder. It just shows, sometimes you have to go back to basic GIS101!

Dan Patterson et al. We (+Alix Vezina) are working on a shareable ArcGIS Pro "template" but have hit two major issues. Link: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ee44dd7cd11c4017a67d43fcbb1cb467 1) Project Template: When using a Project Template, ArcGIS Pro Tasks could not find the models we built and totally broke. Let's skip this for now because maybe templates are not a good approach. 2) Zip and Ship: When we use a more "classic" approach of zipping up all of the resources (ArcGIS Pro Project File, Toolbox, GDB, Folders) - this problem is resolved but we run into another similar relative path issue. If our Task references a geoprocessing tool or model, the predefined inputs / outputs are still pointing to the original PC. What is the best way to resolve this? Screenshot below shows it references C:\Users\avezina but this is Alix' PC not mine Note inputs that point to feature layers in the web map are not broken, just the local feature classes stored in the .gdb. Whether it is the Default .gdb or other. Any help you can provide would be fantastic! As a non-profit we do not get access to Esri Support for ArcGIS Pro
