ℹ️ About This Tool - Why Use Codes?

▼

Red Cross Code Lookup

Built-in database of all Red Cross chapters, regions, divisions, and counties. Search by name to find ECODE, RCODE, DCODE, and FIPS codes instantly.

Why Use Codes Instead of Names?

Codes are standardized, unique identifiers that eliminate ambiguity and spelling errors.

ZIP Codes (5-digit)

What: United States Postal Service ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA5)

Format: 5 digits (e.g., 33019, 02134)

Why better: Every ZIP code is unique. "Miami" could refer to the city, county, or multiple ZIP codes. 33101 is unambiguous.

FIPS Codes (5-digit)

What: Federal Information Processing Standards codes for counties

Format: 5 digits = State FIPS (2) + County FIPS (3), e.g., 12011 = Florida (12) + Broward County (011)

Why better: "Dallas" could be Dallas County, TX (48113) or Dallas County, AL (01047). FIPS codes are unique nationwide and never change.

ECODE (Chapter Code)

What: Unique identifier for Red Cross chapters

Format: Numeric code (e.g., 1019, 38300)

Why better: "Red Cross of Kentucky" vs "American Red Cross Kentucky Region" vs "ARC Kentucky" - all refer to the same chapter, but 1019 is always correct.

RCODE (Region Code)

What: Unique identifier for Red Cross regions

Format: Alphanumeric (e.g., 01R04, 38R28)

Why better: Region names change over time, but codes remain stable. "Southeast Region" might become "Southeast and Caribbean Division" - the code stays the same.

DCODE (Division Code)

What: Unique identifier for Red Cross divisions

Format: Alphanumeric (e.g., D25, D27)

Why better: Division names are long and can be abbreviated differently. D25 is always "Southeast and Caribbean Division" regardless of how it's written.

Key Benefits:

No spelling variations (Jefferson vs Jeffersons vs Jefferson County)
No ambiguity (Dallas city vs Dallas County vs Dallas Parish)
Standardized format (always 5 digits for FIPS, always consistent)
Never change (names change, codes stay the same)
Perfect for joins (codes match exactly, names require fuzzy matching)
International standards (FIPS is federal standard, ZIP is USPS standard)

Chapter Name or ECODE

Region Name or RCODE

Division Name or DCODE

ZIP Code

County Name

State (shows state code + counties)

FIPS Code (5-digit: State+County)

🔍

Enter a search term to find codes

Search by Chapter, Region, Division, County, State, or FIPS

📸 High-Resolution Screenshot Capture

🙏 Credit: This technique shared by Kevin Ham, Red Cross GIS. Thank you for this brilliant solution!

🎯 What Is This?

A technique to capture ultra-high-resolution screenshots of web content—especially useful for ArcGIS maps, dashboards, and web apps that need to be printed or used in presentations.

💡 Why Use This?

Print Quality: Capture maps at 5000×8000 pixels (or larger!) for high-quality printing
Presentations: Get crystal-clear screenshots for PowerPoint, reports, and posters
No Pixelation: Unlike normal screenshots that look blurry when zoomed, these stay sharp
Perfect for Maps: ArcGIS maps, Experience Builder apps, Dashboards—all captured at full resolution

📊 Resolution Comparison

Method	Resolution	Quality
❌ Normal screenshot (laptop)	~1920×1080	Pixelated when printed
✅ Custom Device (Kevin's method)	5000×8000 (or more!)	Crystal clear, print-ready

📋 How to Do It (Chrome)

Step 1: Open DevTools

Open your ArcGIS map/dashboard/web app
Press F12 or Cmd+Option+I (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows)
DevTools panel opens on the right or bottom

Step 2: Toggle Device Toolbar

Click the 📱 Device Toggle icon in top-left of DevTools
Or press Cmd+Shift+M (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows)
Your page now shows in "mobile device" view

Step 3: Open Settings (The Key Step!)

Click the ⚙️ Settings icon (three dots) next to device selector dropdown

💡 Poster Printing Guide

Choose dimensions based on your final print size. Rule of thumb: multiply inches by 150-300 (DPI).

Poster Size	Acceptable (150 DPI)	High Quality (300 DPI)
2' × 3' (24" × 36")	`3600 × 5400`	`7200 × 10800`
3' × 4' (36" × 48")	`5400 × 7200`	`10800 × 14400`
Letter (8.5" × 11")	`1275 × 1650`	`2550 × 3300`
Tabloid (11" × 17")	`1650 × 2550`	`3300 × 5100`

💡 For maps viewed from distance (wall posters), 150 DPI is usually perfect. For close inspection (reports), use 300 DPI.

Step 5: Select Your Custom Device

Close Settings panel
In the device dropdown (top of page), select "Jumbo"
Your page now renders at 5000×8000 pixels!

🔄 ArcGIS Feature Layer Automation

Automate daily updates to ArcGIS Feature Layers from SharePoint or OneDrive CSV files. This workflow eliminates manual uploads and keeps your maps always up-to-date.

📋 What This Does

1. Save a CSV to SharePoint OneDrive

Could be a daily export, manual upload, or automated report

2. Share the file link with you

Get the SharePoint sharing link or OneDrive sync path

3. You set up automated updates

Using ArcGIS Notebooks (cloud) or Python scripts (local Mac)

4. Feature layer updates automatically

Every day, hour, or whenever you schedule it

⭐ Method 1: ArcGIS Notebooks (Recommended - Runs in the Cloud)

✅ Best for: Cloud-based automation, no local Mac required, already logged into ArcGIS Online

Step 1: Get the SharePoint CSV Link

Ask the data owner to:

Upload their CSV file to SharePoint or OneDrive
Right-click the file → Share → Copy Link
Send you the link (looks like: https://redcross.sharepoint.com/...)

💡 Pro Tip: Make sure the link has "Anyone with the link can view" permissions, or share it directly with your ArcGIS account email.

Step 2: Get Your Feature Layer ID

Go to ArcGIS Online → Content
Find your feature layer (or create a new one from the CSV first)
Open the item page
Look at the URL: https://redcross.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=abc123def456
Copy the ID (the part after id=)

Example ID: 0ac831210d79488481ebe52b4beba35d

Step 3: Create an ArcGIS Notebook

In ArcGIS Online, go to Content → New Item → Notebook
Choose Python 3 runtime
Name it something like "Daily CSV Update - [Your Layer Name]"
Click Create

Step 4: Add the Python Code

Copy and paste this code into a notebook cell:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection
import pandas as pd

# Connect to ArcGIS Online (you're already logged in!)
gis = GIS("home")

# Configuration
SHAREPOINT_CSV_URL = "YOUR_SHAREPOINT_LINK_HERE"
FEATURE_LAYER_ID = "YOUR_LAYER_ID_HERE"

# Download CSV from SharePoint
print("📥 Downloading CSV from SharePoint...")
df = pd.read_csv(SHAREPOINT_CSV_URL)
print(f"✅ Loaded {len(df)} rows")

# Get the feature layer
print("🔍 Finding feature layer...")
item = gis.content.get(FEATURE_LAYER_ID)
flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(item)
layer = flc.layers[0]

# Delete all existing features
print("🗑️ Deleting old features...")
layer.delete_features(where="1=1")

# Add new features from CSV
print("📤 Uploading new features...")
features = df.to_dict('records')
layer.edit_features(adds=features)

print("✅ Update complete!")

⚠️ Important: Replace YOUR_SHAREPOINT_LINK_HERE and YOUR_LAYER_ID_HERE with your actual values!

Step 5: Test It Manually

Click Run on the cell
Watch the output - you should see "✅ Update complete!"
Go to your feature layer and verify the data updated

Step 6: Schedule It

In the notebook, click Tasks (top menu)
Click Create Task
Choose your schedule:
- Daily at 6:00 AM
- Hourly during business hours
- Weekly on Monday mornings
Click Create
Done! Your layer will update automatically 🎉

✅ Advantage: Runs in the cloud - no need to keep your computer on!

🔧 Troubleshooting

❌ "Permission denied" or "403 Forbidden"

Make sure you own the feature layer or have edit permissions. Check that your OAuth token has the right scopes.

❌ "Cannot read CSV from SharePoint"

Ensure the SharePoint link has "Anyone with the link" permissions, or share it directly with your ArcGIS email.

❌ "Field mismatch" errors

Your CSV columns must match the feature layer schema. Create the layer from the CSV first, or add missing fields to the layer.

❌ Scheduled task not running

ArcGIS Notebooks: Check the Tasks panel for errors.
