[Sora] Wildfire and Ed locations

Fri Sep 18 17:40:01 PDT 2020

Hi Laura and SORA members,

I thought it'd be helpful to share this response and update with everyone.
About constant updates: ArcGIS online maps and dashboards automatically refresh to be "up-to-date" with all data layers that they are built upon. This is why (by default) you will see text such as "Last Updated: a minute ago" often appearing in such interactive visualizations (technically true). Though, what this means is that a map is only as up-to-date as the data layers it is built upon. So it is important to always check data layer source information and details.
The dashboard shared in the email below is dependent on the Fire Evacuation Areas Public<https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=dd2bee51e3004dc4b1004df34fbd9e29> data layer, which shows all wildfire evacuations across Oregon as collected and updated by OEM. So the dashboard map will always be as updated as that data layer.
About most recent wildfire data: OEM also maintains a real-time assessment and planning tool<https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicInformation/index.html?appid=f8a0d8814a67445a9e6bf3485f4fd24f> that may be of interest to know about if you are working with maps/GIS data. In particular, this tool depends on the USA Current Wildfires<https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d957997ccee7408287a963600a77f61f> data layer which includes the most recent (daily) point and perimeter locations of wildfires reported in the US. Any persons or teams looking to visualize and understand the most recent information relating to wildfires in Oregon would benefit from knowing about the USA Current Wildfires data layer.
Learning about and working with the Current Wildfires layer inspired me to create an updated version of the ODE Recent Wildfires Dashboard<https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/4929ba5f37fa45fe8711efb77f8df9cf>. This dashboard provides counts and a list of the most recent Oregon wildfires, along with the original indicators and features provided by the dashboard I originally linked below. Check it out and read more about the tool functionality and features here<https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=4929ba5f37fa45fe8711efb77f8df9cf>.
I hope all helps with the collective efforts and community support. Thanks for the question, Laura!
Best,
Amelia

Hello SORA members,

This message is to share a dashboard + map of all educational locations and wildfires<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeo.maps.arcgis.com%2Fapps%2Fopsdashboard%2Findex.html%23%2Faa6f620bbeab48bf9f502cee8e583b88&data=02%7C01%7CAmelia.Vargas%40ode.state.or.us%7Cb72970e82f3e46d718d708d85a69e233%7Cb4f51418b26949a2935afa54bf584fc8%7C0%7C1%7C637358758115186007&sdata=IeuAquo%2FFN6%2BbxYROmd6EGyKUYTcPwqO1%2BvJAglymf0%3D&reserved=0> created by Arron Heriford of DHS/OHA (original message and details below). By design it provides updated information relating to evacuation zones. Many thanks go to Arron for creating this incredible resource, and the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Unit (CRRU) team members for finalizing these data layers!

Subject: Wildfire and Ed locations
Importance: High

Good evening everyone,

Would ODE like a map of all educational locations and the wildfires (evacuations, perimeter, locations).  We finished verification of all locations from child care to higher education for both public and private institutions.  Your data are good to go for authoritative use.  We also have all boundaries, minus Woodburn SD.

Thank you

Arron
