Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance Adoption Tracking Dashboard

Description

To create an internal GeoHUB ESRI Dashboard to make our Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance Adoption Tracking more efficient and timely than our current processes. We are the NJ State NFIP Coordinators office and one of our responsibilities is to coordinate and assist 555 municipalities adopt new Flood Ordinances. The adoption process has many steps or statuses that we track for each municipality. We have tracked using Excel and currently using SharePoint created by a contractor. These current processes are not meeting our needs.

Project Justification

The dashboard would make the progress of the ordinance adoptions very visible for our immediate supervisors and our program’s upper management to see if the different municipalities are on schedule and if any obstacles are occurring.
Also, we report to FEMA on the adoption progress of new flood damage prevention ordinances and have hard deadlines. FEMA needs to approve adoptions for a community to be in the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program). If deadlines are not met, a community could be suspended from the NFIP.
By creating our own adoption tracking system with a Dashboard, we would eliminate the dependency and cost from using a contractor
