Hazards, lifelines, facilities, demographics, and community indicators in one field-ready catalog. Search, preview, and carry the layers you need into an ArcGIS map for planning or response.
Take your selected layers into an ArcGIS Online map for planning, analysis, or a response dashboard.
Open a fresh Map Viewer with the item-backed layers pre-loaded where ArcGIS supports that handoff. Sign in, review the map, then Save it as your own web map.
Map Viewer's Add → From URL box takes one endpoint per paste. Click below to copy each available service URL in turn. Item-backed Franzen records without a public endpoint should use option 1 or 3 after ArcGIS sign-in.
Copy or download a web map definition for staff who maintain ArcGIS content and need a portable recipe for the selected layers.
A field-friendly guide for Red Cross staff using the layer catalog inside ArcGIS Experience Builder or as a stand-alone planning page.
Use plain operational terms: flood, hospitals, power-dependent devices, older adults, broadband, schools, wildfire, or transportation access. The catalog searches layer names, categories, and tags together.
Start with source status, then Hazards, Infrastructure, or People. Add topic filters when you need a tighter set. Filters stack together, so a search for flood plus a Housing tag gives a much shorter, more relevant list.
Pick the plus button beside any useful layer. Preview the selected layers, adjust visibility and opacity, then open ArcGIS Map Viewer or copy the layer URLs into another ArcGIS map.
Layer availability follows the source service. Public layers open for everyone; protected layers still require the normal ArcGIS permissions.
Authoritative does not automatically mean current or useful here. Red Cross authoritative candidates can include feature services, maps, dashboards, imagery, apps, and old incident products. Only map-usable feature, map, or image services should graduate into this catalog after review.
Shelter layers need special care. State-specific shelter services may be old or redundant. Compare them against the master shelter layer before promoting any shelter candidate.
The catalog does not change source data. It reads layer endpoints and helps staff assemble a working map.
Use current operational guidance first. A layer can support planning and situational awareness, but it does not replace Disaster Cycle Services direction or incident leadership decisions.
