Map Layers Module

Administrators can create preconfigured map layers from third-party map services. These layers can then be added to the maps in Crisis Track modules.

Preconfigured map layers make it easier to add a specific map layer to incidents. You can add preconfigured map layers when you create a new incident, or you can add them to an existing incident through the Info module. In both cases, the map layer appears in the maps in the Operations View, Footprint, Entries, and Tasks modules and the mobile app.

For more information about map layers, see Map Layers.

Crisis Track includes FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) as a preconfigured map layer with the initial installation. For more information about this layer, see FEMA's documentation on their website.
