Wildfire Preparedness and Evacuation Coordination with Unified Command Platform
Use Unified Command Platform during wildfire season to support every step in your emergency and continuity operations — from initial alerts to coordinated response and recovery workflows — and provide your team and community with:
-
Operational coordination
-
Situational assessment
-
Public information and warnings
Here are just some of the ways that Unified Command Platform can help you prepare, respond, and recover:
-
To prepare for the wildfire, create custom boards and dashboards for any need: Public Information, Personnel Tracking, Finance Approvals, or any other requirement.
-
Create an incident to log all wildfire details and operational responses.
-
Add maps with layers to track the wildfire as early as possible through its aftermath to visualize affected areas and damage.
-
Activate wildfire checklists so team members know their mission during time-sensitive scenarios where rapid response is needed.
-
Create links to essential resources, like weather data, so that all users have a common understanding of the threat.
-
Keep users informed with system-wide messages and alerts delivered to their inbox, email, text or other channels.
Use the following Unified Command Platform boards throughout the wildfire:
-
Situation Report: Provide status updates across teams.
-
Event Reporting: Document key activities from all stakeholders to provide a timeline of events within an incident.
-
Wildfire Detection: Monitor wildfire conditions in real time using integrated sensors, cameras, and environmental data to detect early signs of fire and generate alerts for faster response and improved situational awareness.
-
Checklists: Activate flood checklists assigned to different positions.
-
Plan Builder / Incident Action Plan: Create and organize structured plans to guide flood mitigation and response efforts.
-
Schedule: Plan and manage operational timelines, meetings, and key activities during flood preparedness and response.
-
File Library: Store and access important documents, plans, and resources related to flood preparedness and mitigation.
-
Road Closures: Track road closures to help provide situational awareness for stakeholders and easily map road closures to overlay them with other critical data such as shelters and facilities.
-
Shelters: Manage shelter information to help provide situational awareness for stakeholders and collect shelter occupancies throughout an event to better understand your availability and capacity.
-
Call Center DS: Enhance coordination, documentation, and decision-making within emergency call centers. Tailored for dynamic operational environments, it empowers call takers, supervisors, and duty officers to manage calls with precision and clarity from intake to incident resolution. With real-time call logging, deployment tracking, and duty officer coordination, this board ensures rapid response and accountability in high-pressure scenarios.
-
Requests and Tasks: Manage all resource requests and task assignments related to an incident and track deployments and expenses related to each request and task.
- Requests, Inventory, and Deployments: Manage and track resources, supplies, and their deployment across operations.
-
Sign In/Out: Track personnel check-ins and check-outs for accountability and safety.
-
Facility Status: Track the statuses of facilities to provide situational awareness on key indicators, such as whether the facility is damaged, has power, and/or is staffed.
-
Damage Assessment: Collaborate with stakeholders to collect Public Assistance damage costs and conduct Individual Assistance damage assessments.
-
After Action Review: Capture lessons learned and identify improvements after flood events or exercises.
