Homeland Coordination
The Other View
The platform is up. The picture in use is not the record.
The next allocation follows the cleaned view instead of the system of record.
DEMONSTRATION SCENARIO
This is a demonstration scenario. It is not a live demonstration and does not report an executed result.
The situation
A coordination platform is reachable. A system of record exists. The picture in use may not be that record.
The platform is up. The picture looks decided. It does not match the record.
Why this is hard
A cleaned view can disagree with the system of record while the platform is up. Refreshing a public page, or restoring a link that is already up, does not repair that split.
Restoring a link or refreshing a website should not count unless that is the picture that is actually wrong.
What the operator can see
Gap
In use
A cleaned view
At risk. The next allocation
What V8Y must determine
V8Y must distinguish a cleaned view from the system of record, from a public page that merely lagged, and from a path that is down.
What may happen next
The next allocation follows the wrong view if it stays in use.
What counts as recovery
Not recovery
Success is not a cleaner slide.
Recovery
Success is that the next decision matches the system of record.
Observed results
No executed results are published for this thread.
What this evaluation would test
- Two internal pictures, platform up.
- Not a public page that lagged.
- Not an unreachable unit.
- The next decision is the edge.
These are the conditions the evaluation would test. They are not reported results.
Operational basis
View operational basis and sources
Derived from a DHS OIG review of FEMA’s WebEOC during early COVID resource requests: the system stayed in use while a cleaned decision view diverged from the record. The two-screen difference here is synthetic.
