Dashboards

All data below is made up for purposes of training and exercises. 

Any similarities with actual people, sites and data are coincidental and not intentional.

VARA Chat Dashboard

Demonstrating the effectiveness of combining  VARA Chat and Quick Messages for situational awareness. Our radio operators send this information via VARA Chat in a specified format. From there it is aggregated and added into the visualization.

LAXNORTHEAST Digital Net Traffic Dashboard 

The dashboards below demonstrate typical traffic from one of our Thursday Night practice nets. Stations sent a variety of digital traffic, for example Check-ins, Did-you-feel-it, Bed Availability Reports and Check-outs. In this case they used Winlink, an email-over-radio program.

Click on the numbers (1,2,3,4) on the left side of the dashboard to see different data visualizations.

Traffic for LAXNORTHEAST is voice coordinated. Depending on the situation net control operates on a repeater or on simplex.

Hospital Bed Availability Dashboard 

This dashboard combines bed availability data from VARA Chat and from Winlink. VARA Chat data is sent as industry standard spreadsheets in MS Excel format.

The dashboard demonstrates the data delivery capabilities LAXNORTHEAST has developed. Our capabilities allow for building near-real-time common operating pictures, even when when commercial infrastructure is compromised .

Note: The information is for demonstration only and does not reflect real conditions, names nor phone numbers.  Any similarities with actual places and people are coincidental.

Maps

This map shows information from our regular digital practice nets. Our radio operators generate the data points and send them via VARA Chat or Winlink.  The data is then checked, cleaned, and aggregated to enable visualizations and analyses.

Situational awareness reports are a critical service we provide to our County EMS and hospital partners.
