InterfaceIntel ArcGIS Hub: Executive Summary:

InterfaceIntel’s ArcGIS OnLine Hub is a data commons and digital dashboard platform designed to operationalize the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy through geospatial intelligence, integrated workflows, and community engagement. The Hub supports the three pillars of the strategy — Fire-Adapted Communities, Resilient Landscapes, and Safe & Effective Response — enabling jurisdictions to collect, share, and act on wildfire-relevant data in real time.   InterfaceIntel has developed a partner launch tool that automates the addition of new geographies for rapid scalability. 

Built on an ArcGIS Online backbone InterfaceIntel is ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and SSAE 16 SOC1 Type2 compliant. The platform adheres to privacy standards like GDPR and the US Data Privacy Framework.

1. Fire-Adapted Communities

The community-level dashboard functions as a data common for parcel-specific risk information and mitigation workflows.

Key capabilities:
• Integrates Insurance Institute for Home Safety (IBHS) home assessments, structural triage data, and potential control line features (trails, roads, fuel breaks) into one spatial interface.
• Provides community-specific ArcGIS Hub portals for HOAs, towns, or counties to request assessments, authorize work, access grants, and educate residents.
• Automates recurring work orders for IBHS assessments and fuels maintenance.
• Enables visualization of CWPP elements and status (planned, active, or completed).
• Supports public engagement tools such as evacuation sign-ups, smoke management guidance, and local resource links.

Outputs include map layers for IBHS compliance and triage readiness, forming the foundation for structural protection planning.

2. Resilient Landscapes

This component provides spatial tracking of large-scale fuels projects and control line management.  Many of the current data sets, including the RMA dashboard, do not account for the fuels work that occurs in HOA’s and small communities in the wildland interface.    

Core functions:
• Integrates ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 for field data collection, mapping, and project monitoring.
• Displays multiple analytical layers such as Suppression Difficulty Index, Wildfire Risk to Homes, and local fuels data for planning prioritization.
• Supports work order creation, contractor tasking, and progress tracking for treatments such as thinning, mastication, or prescribed burns.
• Incorporates live Community Wildfire Defense Plan dashboards for community transparency and feedback.

The result is a resilient landscape map that links ecological treatments to operational readiness and community safety.

3. Safe & Effective Response

InterfaceIntel’s Initial Attack (IA) Dashboard provides real-time situational awareness for incident commanders.

Features include:
• Auto-populated incidents from CAD/911 systems with live resource tracking.
• Layers for control lines, evacuation zones, TRA’s, current weather, and fuel treatments.
• Sidebar panels for weather plots, energy release components (ERC), burning index (BI), and communications plans.
• Integrated two-way emergency notification system (CodeRED, Everbridge, etc.) that updates map layers dynamically based on resident responses to evacuation notifications. 

This module consolidates all operational data into one screen to enhance decision-making and responder safety.

Summary:

The InterfaceIntel ArcGIS Hub delivers a unified geospatial ecosystem for wildfire intelligence — connecting community preparedness, landscape resilience, and incident response in a secure, scalable platform. It empowers jurisdictions to own their data, streamline mitigation workflows, and align local action with the National Cohesive Strategy.
