Settings fields and descriptions Field Description Population The jurisdiction’s population as noted in the most recent decennial census. This field is used in formulas and calculations related to FEMA’s thresholds.
Use Tracking Enables Crisis Track tracking functionality. When disabled, tracking data will not be collected and will not render breadcrumbs on the maps.
Use Clustering Enables Crisis Track clustering functionality on maps. When enabled, if there are many data points for certain types of data, those data points are grouped as cluster pins in a grid. For example, when many entries are close together on the map, the group of entries is represented by a red cluster pin. The number on the pin indicates how many entries it contains.
Structures are clustered in the same way as entries, except the pins are different colors.
Cluster Limit Determines the maximum number of structures inside an incident before High Data Mode is activated. This prevents Crisis Track from using too much memory to load structures.
Map Display Limit If clustering is enabled, this is the number of points on the map before points become clustered representations.
Request Block Size The number of entries returned in one request from the console application. Default Coordinates Set what default method is used for displaying coordinates: latitude and longitude (Lat/Long), United States National Grid (USNG), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), or None. Allow Jurisdiction Admins to create incidents As a parent account admin, admin (no payroll), or commander, you have the ability to create new incidents. Any incident created at the parent account level will automatically be added at the jurisdiction child account level.
By enabling this setting, you allow jurisdiction admins to create incidents specific to their jurisdictions. This can be helpful when an event only affects a specific jurisdiction and not the entire account, such as an isolated flood. In this case, incident commanders can respond more quickly without having to wait for someone at the account level to create the incident.
Incident Notifications Enable this setting for Crisis Track to send email notifications when new incidents are created. Enter the email address where these notifications should be sent and click Add. Repeat for any additional persons.
Resident Self-Reporting Notifications Enable this setting for Crisis Track to send email notifications when resident self-reports are received, making it easier to track submitted self-reports and assign them for follow-up.
Enter the email address where these notifications should be sent and click Add. Repeat for any additional persons.
New Self-Reporting Notifications Allows you to configure notifications that send when specific forms are created or when a form field gains a specific value. For example, you can set up a notification that sends whenever a Commercial Damage form is created and the Damage field has a value of Destroyed.
