For many possible reasons, there are usually areas serviced by the utility where keeping cool is a real challenge. Health concerns during excessive heat is one of the biggest challenges.\u00a0 Once again, utilities along with the local regulatory agencies have a solution for this, they open up Cooling Center\/Stations.\u00a0 These are usually libraries, fire stations, and community centers that stay open beyond normal operating hours.\u00a0 The ideas is that families can take shelter in these air conditioned facilities during the hottest times of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Most utilities provide a list of these cooling centers for their customers on their website.\u00a0 For example, here is a list of centers for Naperville, IL. and the surrounding area (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dupageco.org\/CoolingSites\/\">https:\/\/www.dupageco.org\/<strong>Cooling<\/strong>Sites\/<\/a>). With the power of GIS, this data can be geo-enable so that, it can be insightful and discoverable.\u00a0 Using ArcGIS Online, this list can be transformed into a full-fledged engaging app.\u00a0 Now families can quickly identify the closest cooling center and available services.\u00a0 Salt Lake County in Utah did just that and created a very nice cooling center app.\u00a0 Read the article here (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/esri-news\/arcwatch\/0616\/chilling-with-arcgis-online\">http:\/\/www.esri.com\/esri-news\/arcwatch\/0616\/chilling-with-arcgis-online<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>One thing the article did not share is how to create the app.\u00a0 Here are the few steps to set up a similar cooling center app.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is create a data schema to house all the cooling center locations.\u00a0 Traditionally this has been done in ArcGIS Desktop and then published up to ArcGIS Online.\u00a0 You\u2019re going to do something a little different that does not require you to use ArcGIS Desktop or having to publish any service.\u00a0 There are organizations that have published cooling centers for their customers so you just need to clone one of their schemas.\u00a0 For this example, you can use Cal EOS\u2019 State Wide Cooling Center feature service as the basis for your data schema.\u00a0 There\u2019s attributes for address, contact, hours of operation, and capacity (<a href=\"http:\/\/caloes-msstg.esri.com\/arcgis\/rest\/services\/Active_Incident_Heat\/Statewide_Cooling_Centers\/FeatureServer\/0\">http:\/\/caloes-msstg.esri.com\/arcgis\/rest\/services\/Active_Incident_Heat\/Statewide_Cooling_Centers\/FeatureServer\/0<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>To get started, log into your ArcGIS Online Organization account.\u00a0 Once logged in, go to \u201cMy Content\u201d.\u00a0 In the drop down menu under \u201cCreate\u201d, select \u201cFeature Layer\u201d.\u00a0 You will see a dialog box appear.\u00a0 This lets you create a new feature layer based on an existing template.\u00a0 Select the third tab, \u201cFrom URL\u201d.\u00a0 Here, copy and paste in the Cal EOS link above.\u00a0 Your dialog should look like the following.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_clone_url1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_clone_url1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"246\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you press \u201cNext\u201d, you will see a list of feature layers in this service.\u00a0 It should look like below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_clone_url2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_clone_url2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"745\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Press \u201cNext\u201d and you can define the extent of the data if you wish.\u00a0 Press \u201cNext\u201d once more and it will bring you to a screen to fill out the name and description of this new feature layer.\u00a0 Name it \u201cCooling Centers\u201d, then click \u201cFinish\u201d.\u00a0 You should see the newly created feature layer in your list of items under \u201cMy Content\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You can now add the layer to a map and start creating the cooling center features.\u00a0 This article assumes you know how to create a web map, add layers to it, and add\/edit data.\u00a0 If you need a refresher for these steps, please read the ArcGIS online help guides (<a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/use-maps\/edit-features.htm\">https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/use-maps\/edit-features.htm<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 Also note, since the list of cooling centers for Naperville and surrounding areas is in PDF, you will need to manually locate and digitize the points.\u00a0 You can use the search bar to help you locate the addresses.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a screen shot of a few of the cooling centers located on the map.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_map11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cc_map11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At this point, the data and map has been created.\u00a0 Now, you will use this map to create the actual public facing app for your customers.\u00a0 In the article for Salt Lake County, they used the Local Perspective template (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=6e02b538bea841ed858ef9f52709b655\">http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=6e02b538bea841ed858ef9f52709b655<\/a>) to share this information.\u00a0 That is a very good and focused application.\u00a0 But, in this case, you will use ArcGIS Web AppBuilder instead.\u00a0 The main reasoning for using ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is because it is widget based with new widgets added constantly.\u00a0 In the future, if there is a widget that would enhance the experience for the customers, you can add the widget into the existing application without any interruption to your customers.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, under \u201cMy Content\u201d, under the \u201cCreate\u201d menu, select \u201cApp\u201d, then \u201cusing Web AppBuilder\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 When a dialog appears, give the app a name and some tags.\u00a0 You will now be brought to the ArcGIS Web AppBuilder configuration screen.\u00a0 Making an app is done in three simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>First step is to define the layout.\u00a0 There\u2019s 8 layouts and wide variety of colors.\u00a0 Choose your preference.<\/p>\n<p>The second step is to pick a web map.\u00a0 In the top bar in the left panel, click on the \u201cMap\u201d tab.\u00a0 Click on the button \u201cChoose Web Map\u201d and select the cooling centers web map you previously created.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final step is the most involved.\u00a0 Click on the \u201cWidget\u201d tab.\u00a0 Click the section where it states \u201cSet the widgets in this controller\u201d, then click the plus sign \u201c+\u201d in the resulting panel.\u00a0 Once you do this, you will be presented with a dialog full of widgets.\u00a0 The one you want to choose is the \u201cNear Me\u201d widget.\u00a0 This widget performs a similar action as the Local Perspective template.\u00a0 It buffers an address or a point clicked on the map and returns all the features in that buffer sorted by distance away.\u00a0 Read more about the widget here <a
