This video provides an introduction to SituationAnalyst's Briefing mode.
The Briefing mode provides information about active incidents, committed resources, and response activities.
You can open the Briefing mode by selecting the Briefing mode icon.
The Briefing mode consists of these main areas:
Location tabs,
Dashboard Summary,
Incidents tab,
Overview tab,
and the legend.
There's also a link to the Incident Management Situation Report or Sit-Report.
The Dashboard summary gives a high level summary of incidents.
The information in the Briefing mode changes depending on the selected view.
The Briefing mode is separated into a national view,
a regional view,
and an incident view.
You can navigate between views by using the location tabs.
The Incident tab provides an itemized list of impacted areas.
You can sort incidents using different criteria with the dropdown menu.
The default sorting criteria is by Acres burned, so you’ll always see the largest incidents first.
Clicking on an incident shows a short summary.
Clicking on “View” opens the detailed incident information and goes to the incident on the map.
The Overview tab shows a summary of details available for the active incident based on the selected view.
The details include both the SIT-209 and IROC committed resources.
Some information may not be available.
Selecting a colored dot opens the detailed incident information and goes to the incident on the map.
Orange Dots are incidents being tracked from IMSR,
Blue Dots are incidents being tracked from SIT-209,
Green dots are new incidents not being tracked on either report,
and Grey dots are incidents older than 24 hours not being tracked on either report.
Additional information about the briefing mode can be found in the SituationAnalyst user guide on the help page.
