Infrastructure dependency Dashboard

Geospatial Infrastructure Resiliency Dashboard - Desktop

 

The Infrastructure Dependency dashboard is a created specifically for owner/operators, state, regional and local infrastructure liaisons. The tool was designed specifically for use in identifying and “out of service” utilities across the 16 major infrastructure lifelines (as identified by FEMA). The tool allows the user to enter the tool and drill down into state, county and census tract levels to view impact outages.

Additionally, the user is able to identify, add an asset, break an asset or upload a shape file to view all impacted assets and their dependencies/interdependencies both up and downstream - up to the 3rd degree. We pulled in relevant census data to help the user identify the severity of a situation to the general population within a tract. we have implemented the use of AHA (what does this stand for) data to apply sourced infrastructure information. Additionally, we pulled in relevant census data to help the user identify the severity of. a situation to the general population within a tract.

THE PROBLEM

The client wanted a system that collects data from multiple sources, both verified and user submitted. By collecting this data from facility Owner/Operators we can expect a level of accuracy that enables a future verification and acceptance process to be put in place. This dashboard is built to deliver a high-level proof of concept to show infrastructure dependencies/interdependencies both up and downstream.

THE Solution

Below is a walkthrough of select wireframes for the first phase of work. We provided the client with a robust system that allows the user to not on view dependencies within the infrastructure, but allows the users to do the following:

1) Sign up & log-in to an account. User governance is crucial going forward as this information is highly sensitive. This will be a future phase of work

2) Create a new dependency within the tool

3) View a graphic that shows standard generic dependencies that may be missing within the grid.
