You can monitor the progress of evacuations by generating reports from the Active evacuations task in Security Desk.

Before you begin

You must have the Active evacuations privilege.

What you should know

  • At least one evacuation must be in progress for you to generate reports from the Active evacuations task.
  • Make sure to export reports for each evacuation before stopping the evacuation. This is the only way to save the information about past evacuations. After an evacuation ends, the data for that evacuation will no longer be available.
  • You must manually regenerate the report to get the latest information, or you can add the report to a dashboard and configure it to auto-refresh.

    For more information about creating dashboards, see Creating a dashboard.

Procedure

  1. From the Security Desk home page, open the Active evacuations task.
  2. Select one or more of the following query filters for your report:
    Evacuation
    The evacuations from the selected areas.
    Mustering areas
    The areas to which people are gathering.
    Cardholder status
    The safety status of the cardholder:
    Unknown
    The individual has not reached the mustering area.
    Safe
    The individual has reached the mustering area.
    Unsafe
    The individual was manually marked as Unsafe in the MusteringApp.
    Custom fields
    Click Add criterion, and select a custom field to add as a filter.
    NOTE: The Employer and Essential worker custom fields are added by the plugin by default. These custom fields are visible to all users in the Evacuation Assistant portal, regardless of the Security configuration of the custom fields.

    Employer
    The cardholder's employer. This value comes from the Employer custom field that was added by the plugin.

Example

The following image shows the Active evacuations task configured to display all cardholders that are part of the evacuation from Building A. The chart is configured to display the data by status.

The following image shows the same report for the Building A evacuation added to a dashboard, and configured to auto-refresh every minute. Another instance of the Active evacuations task was configured to display the same data for the Building B evacuation, and added to the dashboard.
