The indicators show status based on the features you loaded into the feature layers and the impacted area you specified.

You'll digitize a polygon roughly around Bay St. Louis to capture the area impacted by a flood. In this example, the polygon is a rectangle, but you can digitize an area that more precisely captures an impacted area or an administrative area.

You've configured maps for the solution. Adding bookmarks, setting the default map extent, and adding relevant layers makes the solution more useful for your specific situation.

This copies the URL of the REST endpoint for this table. You will use this information in the Survey123 Connect app to update the Community Lifelines Editor survey.

The layers in this map are stored in a file geodatabase that was copied to your computer with the project. This simulates local data that you may already use in your organization's GIS operations. The Critical Infrastructure data was downloaded from the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) site.

When you installed the solution, a number of hosted layers and tables were created in the Emergency Management Operations folder. These layers contain the data that the maps and apps of the solution display and allow you to edit. You've already seen how you can add a feature to the Impacted Area layer by digitizing a polygon and adding some attributes in the Emergency Information Manager app.

The solution contains two Survey123 apps and their associated feature layers. The surveys are named Community Lifelines Editor and Public Message Editor. The surveys will be configured to save the history of updates made to the public message and community lifelines status, over the life span of the incident or emergency. Configuring the surveys to save this data will ensure information is maintained with subsequent updates and allows past information to be documented.

Now that you have deployed and familiarized yourself with the contents of the Emergency Management Operations solution, you are ready to conduct an impact analysis.
