Greetings NEARC-ers:

The Operations Dashboard is a configurable web mapping application that provides real-time feeds from a geospatial data service. That service can originate from a Survey123 or Collector or QuickCapture survey that people in the field are filling out or from some other continuously-updating feed such as stream gauges, wildfire perimeters, weather sensors, etc. This particular one is an effort from Esri Australia and the Government of Victoria and contains MODIS thermal imagery, current burn perimeters, and incidents, and was created to assist homeowners, emergency workers, and others in the region to mitigate the fires and make the wisest decisions possible with real-time data.

This is useful in at least 2 ways:

If you want to teach or illustrate to your colleagues about a current world emergency in a real time manner and show why geography and maps, imagery, and data are actually CRITICAL for this type of situation, use the above dashboard.
If you want to create your OWN operations dashboard, on your OWN theme, such as invasive species, pedestrian counts at intersections, graffiti, weather, water quality, or anything else in your community or area of research, follow these short steps: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/operations-dashboard/help/create-a-dashboard.htm Here is an example; one I created on “how walkable is your community?” : https://community.esri.com/community/education/blog/2019/08/27/how-walkable-is-your-community

Just hoping and praying for calm winds and some (but not too much) rain.
