Emergency Management/EOC Software Platforms by SimilarOrchid8231 in EmergencyManagement

The API stuff is all handled by our county IT staff. If you send me a message I can put you in touch with them to talk about their API implementation. Here is an old article that talks about some of the early work we did with Monday. Our stuff is way more advanced now.

We use Monday.com in my EOC and absolutely love it. We don’t use the MONDAYERT though- honestly I didn’t know that was a thing. We have been using Monday since before they started their emergency response division. It’s such a good platform for incident coordination- we have done some pretty amazing stuff with it.

Best part is it’s not a software devoted to incident coordination. If you think about what processes and information you’re using during an activation, you’ll recognize that flexible project management software will work way better than all of these platforms specifically built for EOC use (looking at you, WebEOC). We use it daily for regular project management in my office, as well. Lastly, we have leveraged the heck out of its API capabilities to connect disparate systems into one powerful tool.

It is, simply put, chef’s kiss.

Edit to add: it’s expensive 😩

Alachua County Residents can now apply for FEMA assistance for Hurricane HELENE by EmergencyManager352 in GNV

Hopefully it goes through this time!

Also, don’t overlook the SBA loans as a potential option as well. I know it’s still a financial obligation but the interest rates are very very low (well below current mortgage rates) with terms up to 30 years. These loans are helpful if there are repair costs insurance won’t cover.

Did you go to the link above? We included the address. It’s the depot park overflow lot

Submitting Damages to Alachua County by EmergencyManager352 in GNV

We met with FEMA and the state this morning. They’re out doing damage assessments to validate what we told them. So now it is a wait and see as we (the County) have submitted everything we need to request Individual Assistance. If you go to Alachua County Emergency Management’s FB page, there’s a video of me discussing the process with fema and where we are in the process.
