POINTS OF DISTRIBUTION FIRE MANAGEMENT MAPS AND RESOURCES
Maps and Pins: When creating your Plans, you will select a Map. A Map is similar to a template and each Map has a collection of Pins to meet an objective. Pins are action points that are placed on a geographic location. Community Partner Agencies, such as Fire and Law Enforcement, can be assigned to a Pin, and supplemental information can be included. Custom Maps and custom Pins can easily be created to fit your needs. To learn more, visit the Create and Manage Maps article and the Create and Manage Pins article.
