⚒ Planning Tool
Allows users to plan collaboratively by enabling multi-user editing of one data set. Crowd source planning processes and create re-usable digital maps. Like a “smart board”, the Planning Tool can help you capture planning conversations and uses your GIS server to jumpstart new collaborations within or across jurisdictions. The Planning Tool is a simple to use tool that allows an operator to geographically document situation reports. The Planning Tool can be configured for a variety of purposes and has been customized to be used as a field asset tool, event tracker and exercise inject creator. This tool was used in a Pacific Northwest exercise as part of the Virtual USA program to assist states with planning and implementing cross-border field operations.
The tool was also used during the 2011 Mississippi River floods by Kentucky Emergency Management, the 2011 National Level Exercise, and to test regional collaboration during the Virtual Northeast States Pilot in 2012.
