Шаблон:Infobox website InciWeb is an interagency all-risk incident web information management system provided by the United States Forest Service released in 2004.[1] It was originally developed for wildland fire emergencies, but can be also used for other emergency incidents (natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes).[2]
Introduction
It was developed with two primary missions:
- 1. Provide the public a single source of incident related information
- 2. Provide a standardized reporting tool for the Public Affairs community[3]
Official announcements include evacuations, road closures, news releases, maps, photographs, and basic info and current situation about the incident.
Incident information can be accessed by:
- web browser at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/
- Twitter[4]
- RSS web feed
Technical
The original application was hosted at the United States Forest Service - Wildland Fire Training and Conference Center, at McClellan Airfield, California, comprising three servers:
- Database server
- Administrative server
- Load balancer for the public content which routes traffic to a pool of eight servers.
Web traffic averages 2 million plus hits daily during the fire season with the ability to handle 3.5 million hits.
The servers were moved to the National information Technology Center (NITC),[5] Kansas City, Missouri on July 16, 2008, along with the release of version 2.0;[6] the current version is 2.2.
Availability issues
InciWeb was having technical difficulties due to the high volume of Internet users trying to access the site during the September–October 2006 Day Fire[7] and the Summer 2008 California wildfires.[8]
