Use a simple, focused web app to communicate with the public. This map may only include map “mark-ups” and not live data from your other operations.

Walk

Expand your website to include multiple focused applications for the public to find core information such as evacuation notices, shelters, and road closures.

Run

Use story maps and apps to maintain open communication with the public and provide material to the media to help your message resonate.
