The majority of the content in ArcGIS Living Atlas is public and free to use. Using ArcGIS Living Atlas, you can explore maps, apps, and data layers from Esri and thousands of other organizations. You can also check out already created maps via Map Viewer, which may give you the information you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-need-a-quick-and-easy-dashboard-for-situational-awareness\"><em>Do you need a quick and easy dashboard for situational awareness?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">Configurable dashboards specific to your situation are achievable with ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online. To configure the data, you will need your own ArcGIS license.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">You can also search for prebuilt, nonconfigurable dashboards in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-need-arcgis-support-during-an-emergency-there-are-several-options-to-consider\"><em><strong>Do you need ArcGIS support during an emergency? There are several options to consider:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If your organization already has ArcGIS licenses but you don&#8217;t have the staff capacity to manage postdisaster workflows, ask a partner organization if they can detail their staff and technology to your organization during a crisis, or prior to a planned event. Similarly, you can leverage the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) by contacting your state&#8217;s emergency management office.<\/li>\n\n<li>For ArcGIS license agreement holders, Esri also offers a Crisis Support Package for an additional fee. During incidents where additional geographic information system (GIS) support is needed, you can leverage this package to receive Esri on-site support for the duration of the planned event or incident. Similarly, Esri&#8217;s Public Safety Named User Program is available to provide surge staffing, guaranteeing unlimited named ArcGIS users during drills, trainings, or events. Be sure to ask your Esri Account Manager for details regarding both programs.<\/li>\n\n<li>Esri&#8217;s Disaster Response Program (DRP) is another option to consider for technology and staffing. To submit a DRP request, navigate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/disaster-response\/overview\">Esri&#8217;s DRP page<\/a>, then to the &#8220;Request Assistance&#8221; button. Once the request is approved, Esri can deploy GIS software and technical support to aid your response and recovery efforts. Esri&#8217;s DRP team is here to ensure you get the help you need to understand the situation, make better decisions, and respond more effectively during a crisis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">Any questions? Connect with your Esri Account Manager or email emergencymanagement@esri.com to get a response from our Emergency Management team at Esri.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\"><strong><em>Need assistance during an active event?
