Esri and our Disaster Response Program are actively monitoring Tropical Storm Henri. We wanted to share some information and resources to help your response efforts.

ArcGIS Solutions: From a capability perspective for hurricane response, the following are core solutions to consider.
·
Dashboard for your command center to monitor key indicators and current conditions in real time to help you maintain situational awareness (see this ArcGIS solution)
·
Configuring the Web AppBuilder with the Situational Awareness widget/template to better understand the situation and potential impact to your organization (see this ArcGIS solution)
·
Share information with the public to convey information to keep them safe and point them to resources to help (see this ArcGIS solution)
·
Conduct a Damage Assessment using a Survey123 form that can be used by staff in the field to conduct initial damage assessments, and apps that can used to monitor field
assessments and determine whether damage costs exceed declaration thresholds (see this ArcGIS solution)
·
Please note that some states have created Survey123 damage assessments for their local jurisdictions to use. If you think your state has done something similar, we
recommend checking with your state emergency management agency.
·
Citizen Reporting – A set of capabilities to help you solicit non-emergency problem reports from the public (damage, 311 reports/issues, etc.), manage the response to
each report, solicit feedback from the public after addressing a report, and monitor the resolution of non-emergency reports in the community (see this ArcGIS solution)
·
Collect and monitor debris – Tools for staff in the field to collect information on debris type and location to assess and report back where debris clean-up is needed
and dashboards that can be used to monitor reports of debris and understand resource needs for clean-up (see this ArcGIS solution)
Community Apps: Here are a few good example apps for hurricanes from the community.
