WebEOC Fusion Admin Guide

WebEOC Fusion is an information hub that lets you connect multiple WebEOC systems into a secure network to facilitate collaboration and information sharing. This solution can be successfully used by emergency management services, empowering managers at national, state, and regional levels to communicate critical incident information in real time and streamline response efforts in their communities. WebEOC Fusion is also suitable for the private sector to help large organizations and multi- office companies create an uninterrupted information flow among all parts of their business.

A Linked, Information Sharing System

One of the most beneficial characteristics of WebEOC Fusion is that it enables you to share incidents. This ability is useful when more than one emergency operations center (EOC) is responding to the same incident and needs a fast and reliable way to communicate incident information to all involved entities.

Additionally, WebEOC Fusion gives WebEOC systems in the network an ability to link incidents together. The advantage of linking incidents is information disseminated among jurisdictions in real time. When one of the EOCs in the network updates incident details, the updates become instantly available to the other connected WebEOC systems. Because systems using WebEOC Fusion make outbound-only connections, firewalls can remain in place, maintaining maximum security throughout all interactions.

About Subscription Boards

Status boards on one WebEOC Nexus system can be published to other WebEOC Nexus systems as subscription boards to provide a common operating picture of regional events, and with little end-user training.

Subscription boards allow board posts to transparently pass across users on different WebEOC Nexus systems. This feature allows bi-directional communication that bypasses firewall issues, enabling all members of the networked community to interact in real time.

Subscription boards take advantage of the same features as standard WebEOC Nexus status boards to provide a familiar interface to end users. Permissions can be assigned to subscription boards to protect the mechanisms of data entry. Subscription boards are easier to manage than their predecessors—dual commit and remote boards—and can be created ad hoc or quickly updated as needs arise and/or requirements change

Furthermore, subscription boards enhance capabilities normally provided by dual commit or remote board functions by ensuring that a lack of network connectivity does not prevent use of WebEOC Nexus firewall issues are mitigated, and missed information is synchronized when network connectivity is restored.
