It is used as a situational awareness and documentation tool. A component is the ability to map data related to the incident. WebEOC has a mapping tool, but it is limited to WebEOC users. This limitation has two consequences. First, if the mapping features need to be shared outside the WebEOC community, sharing the data with a GIS platform is necessary. For example, if the City opened cooling centers during an extreme heat event, the cooling center locations and relevant attribute information will need to be shared with the public. Other information will need to be shared with front-line City staff but not the public. For example, where an incident command post is located. In the past, data was exported from WebEOC to a spreadsheet and then imported into ArcGIS Online. This process introduces the second consequence: updating the data is too slow in high-tempo emergency response. In the past, GIS maps lagged behind text-based information. </span><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>The solution to the export/import problem was a WebEOC extension that links WebEOC data with ArcGIS online in real time. WebEOC users can map emergency response locations in WebEOC. The information is transferred to ArcGIS online. Doing so eliminates the need for emergency responders to have ArcGIS Online licenses while enabling them to update locations in real time without the need for a GIS analyst to help. Workflow on the WebEOC side ensures that location and attribute data is accurate. During the 2023 ice storm, the City of Seattle designated libraries as warming centers, but Seattle Public Libraries had trouble staffing and opening libraries. Operating hours sometimes changes multiple times per day. Using the WebEOC-ArcGIS Online connection, Seattle Public Library public information officers were able to update hours of operation that got mapped to a public map of warming centers. </div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><br /></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>WebEOC's mapping system is geometry agnostic. The same data table can map points, lines, and polygons. To ensure all WebEOC mapping features get represented in ArcGIS Online, three feature layers are required, one for points, one for lines, and one for polygons.</div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><br /></div><div><font face='Avenir Next W01, Avenir Next W00, Avenir Next, Avenir, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif'><span style='font-size:16px;'>Data is pushed from King County's WebEOC emergency management software tool.
