Change a zone's contact list or message

Staff move on, teams reshuffle, procedures change. When they do, repoint the zone at the right contact list or rewrite its message from the Notification Zones tab. Two clicks and a pulldown.

Before you start

You need initiator or administrative access and an active session with data loaded: Load and refresh wildfire data. If the new list does not exist yet, build it in Contact Manager first: Create a contact list.

Steps

  1. In your session, go to Wildfire Management > Manage Notification Zones and click Show Fires and Zones.

  2. Click the Notification Zones tab. Every zone created on the map is listed here.

  3. On the zone's row, click the Edit button (pencil icon) on the far right.

  4. Use the Contact List pulldown to choose a different list, or update the message text. Your text is appended to the system-generated template.

  5. Click OK. The zone now alerts the new list with the new message.
