Year: 2018

In 2017, the York County Department of Fire and Life Safety/Office of Emergency Management identified the need for a concise significant event situational electronic briefing “dashboard” for major emergencies/disasters that have the potential of or actually impact our locality. In order to meet this need, the electronic significant event briefing dashboard tool was developed. This dashboard incorporates data that has been obtained for authenticated sources, as well as local specific data/information so that the recipients can quickly find the critical information related to the event. Further, this allows them to meet their mission responsibilities related to the major emergency/disaster, ultimately being better prepared for action related to the incident. This comprehensive dashboard is electronically distributed to County staff/allied agencies with York County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) responsibilities and other responsibilities in the County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), as well as external emergency management partners that have a need to know (i.e., military and Federal facilities within the geographic boundaries of the County, etc.). It is also provided to operational public safety management staff and senior County management.
