All eight FEMA Community Lifelines on one board — colors suggested by live data, confirmed by your desk. Outage-to-asset fusion every 15 minutes. A cascade view for what fails next. And the Senior Leadership Brief writes itself.
Status arrives by phone call and email. Somebody types it into the slide. The colors reflect whatever the desk heard last — with no way to see how old any of it is. FEMA's own 2024 doctrine review asks the question out loud: what standard data should actually feed each lifeline's status?
Meanwhile the feeds already exist: statewide outage polygons refresh every 15 minutes, facility registries are public APIs, grid conditions are published — and none of it touches the board.
Reporting tools structure the workflow. Modeling firms left for insurance. The national asset portal retired in 2025. The intersection stayed empty.
The question your desk answers by phone today, answered by geometry — with the phone call reserved for confirming it.
Power → water systems de-energized → facilities on those systems → shelters. Dependency arcs draw on the map; the lens lists every impact.
Every edge says what it is: "geographic — high" or "heuristic — medium." Until utility topology is connected, the lens says so — labeled inference, never fake certainty.
No outage yet? Sketch a hazard area — the same cascade computes for the earthquake or storm you're planning against.
The analysis that lives in consulting PDFs today, running live on the board — and honest about its limits.

186 lifeline services classified from a 2,339-service state inventory — every endpoint verified before it entered the catalog. Re-pointing to your state is configuration, not development.
Your desk confirms instead of collects. Your leadership reads freshness, not hope. Your after-action starts from evidence.
