Who This Is For

If your job depends on knowing what's happening right now across your threat environment.

Public Sector
01

Emergency Managers & EOC Directors

Jurisdictions that need a persistent, reliable hazard picture without relying on staff to aggregate feeds from a dozen separate agency portals during a fast-moving event.

02

Public Safety Leadership & Planning Offices

Police, fire, and OEM planning staff who need situational awareness built into daily operations, not just activated during emergencies. Tribal nations with unique geographic hazard profiles.

Private Sector & Special Districts
03

Utilities, Infrastructure & Healthcare

Power utilities, water systems, hospital networks, and logistics operators whose continuity planning depends on early warning of wildfire, flood, seismic, or severe weather events affecting operations or supply chains.

04

Regional Planning Agencies & Grant Programs

Multi-jurisdictional councils of governments, regional coalitions, and UASI/SHSP-funded programs that need a shared operational picture across a planning district rather than individual city dashboards.

Data Sources

Federal data, not vendor data.

Every feed is sourced from authoritative federal agencies with open APIs. No proprietary data, no licensing fees passed to you, no vendor lock-in. The platform aggregates what the government already publishes and puts it on one screen.

USGS

Seismic Activity

Real-time earthquake events by magnitude and region, updated as events are reported to the national network.

NOAA / NWS

Weather Alerts

Active watches, warnings, and advisories at the county and forecast zone level. Tornado, flood, severe thunderstorm, blizzard, and more.

NIFC

Wildfire Activity

Active fire incidents from the National Interagency Fire Center, including size, containment percentage, and suppression status.

NHC

Tropical Systems

National Hurricane Center active storm tracking, including named systems, tropical depressions, and disturbances under investigation.

SWPC / NOAA

Space Weather

Solar flare activity, geomagnetic storm watches and warnings, and current Kp index from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Custom Scope

Jurisdiction-Specific Feeds

Custom builds can include additional sources such as state-specific flood gauges, local air quality sensors, social media threat signals, or agency-internal data on request.

How It's Built

The work, in three phases.

A custom dashboard isn't a template with your logo dropped in. Every build starts with a scoping conversation, because what your operation needs to see is specific to your geography, your hazards, and the way your team actually works during an incident.

01Scope

Requirements & Scoping

We work through your hazard profile, geographic area of concern, user roles, and workflow. Which feeds matter, which don't, what alert thresholds make sense for your context, and where the platform will live. This determines scope and final pricing.

Typical timeline: 1 – 2 weeks
Outputs
  • Scoping document and feed inventory
  • Defined geographic area of coverage
  • Alert threshold recommendations
  • Fixed-price build proposal
02Build

Platform Development & Configuration

Design, feed integration, tile layout, alert logic, and testing against your specific geographic area. You review a staged version before anything goes live. Revisions within scope are included before deployment.

Typical timeline: 2 – 6 weeks
Outputs
  • Fully functional staged build for review
  • Revision cycle (within scope)
  • Final tested and deployed platform
  • Hosted on client or Fenix EM domain
03Deploy

Orientation & Handoff

Your staff needs to know how to use it and trust it before an event. We deliver a briefing session covering what's on screen, how the feeds update, what to do when alerts fire, and how to flag discrepancies. Written documentation is included.

Typical timeline: 1 week
Outputs
  • Staff orientation briefing (remote or on-site)
  • Platform documentation package
  • 30-day post-launch support window
  • Optional annual data feed audit
Pricing & Options

Three tiers, one starting point.

Pricing scales with scope. Most organizations start with the Standard Build and determine whether Enhanced features justify the additional investment after seeing the platform in operation.

Why Fenix EM for Dashboard Builds

Built by a practitioner, not a vendor.

Most situational awareness tools are sold by technology companies staffed by people who've never managed an EOC during an actual activation. This platform was designed by someone who has. The decisions about what's on screen and what isn't were made with operational experience behind them, not UX assumptions.

You're not buying a license to a platform someone else built. You're getting a custom build from a federal-credentialed emergency manager who uses and iterates on this tool in live environments.

  • 1

    Operationally designed

    Every display decision reflects how information is actually used during a declaration, not how it looks in a demo. Built for the watch desk and the EOC, not the boardroom.

  • 2

    Federal data, authoritative sourcing

    All feeds are authoritative federal sources. No third-party data aggregators, no proprietary feeds that go dark during events or require additional licensing.

  • 3

    Jurisdiction-scoped from the start

    Generic national dashboards are noise. Your build is scoped to your hazard profile, your geography, and your team's operational context. What's relevant is prominent. What isn't stays out of the way.

  • 4

    No vendor dependency

    You own what we build. No per-seat licensing, no ongoing platform fees, no risk of the vendor sunsetting the product. The platform is yours to operate and maintain after handoff.

Common Questions

What organizations typically ask.

How is a custom build different from the free National Hazard Dashboard?
The National Dashboard shows national-level data with no geographic filtering. A custom build is scoped to your jurisdiction or region — only the counties, forecast zones, seismic regions, and fire areas relevant to your operation appear. Alert thresholds, tile layout, and data sources are also configured to your specific context. The national version is the demonstration model; a custom build is the operational one.
Where is the platform hosted?
Your choice. We can host on your existing web infrastructure, on a subdomain you control, or on Fenix EM's hosting environment. Hosting requirements and IT coordination are discussed during scoping. No proprietary cloud environment is required — the platform is built on open standards and can be deployed wherever your IT policy allows.
What happens when federal data feeds change or go offline?
Federal APIs change occasionally. The standard build includes a 30-day post-launch support window for feed issues. Enhanced and Enterprise tiers include an annual data feed audit. We also document all feed endpoints so your IT staff can monitor and flag changes independently. If a source goes offline during an event, the platform is designed to display a feed status indicator rather than silently show stale data.
Can this be grant-funded?
Often yes. Situational awareness tools have been funded through UASI, SHSP, BRIC, and EMPG in various jurisdictions. Fenix EM holds active UEI (E81ND1RHAEH6) and CAGE (83J35) codes for direct federal contracting and pass-through awards. We can provide the documentation your grants administrator needs to justify the expenditure under applicable program guidance.
How long does the build take?
Standard builds typically deliver in 3 to 7 weeks from signed scope. Enhanced builds run 6 to 12 weeks depending on feature complexity and IT coordination requirements. Regional/enterprise timelines are scoped individually. Scoping itself takes 1 to 2 weeks and results in a fixed-price proposal before any build work begins.
Can it integrate with WebEOC, ArcGIS, or our existing EOC software?
Direct integration depends on what your EOC software exposes. ArcGIS integration is technically feasible and has been scoped for Enhanced-tier builds. WebEOC and similar platforms operate as separate workflows; the dashboard is most commonly deployed as a companion display on a dedicated EOC screen rather than an embedded feature. Specific integration requirements are evaluated during scoping.
