About the app
Based on a boundless open-source
software stack, the app aims to
deliver the information associated
with various locations to detect
wildfire and prevent it from
stretching across the region.
‘NIFC reports that 60,000
wildfires have occur each year in
the United States since 1960 and
has damaged millions of acres
of land.'
ENPLAN, a pioneer in geospatial
technology industry, joined hands
with our OneClout’s team of
technology experts to have solutions
for accurate detection of wildfires
not only in United States but across
the border.
AVAILABLE IN THE USA, UNITED
MEXIAN STATES AND SOUTH
AMERICA
Wildfire Viewer
HOW IT WORKS
1. The geospatial information is first detected
through MODIS and VIIRS satellite sensors on
hourly basis, shared on Geo-server and then
displayed after necessary processing.
2. The data is updated continuously in the fire
containment perimeters as soon as the leading
fire agencies update the USGS Geomac when a
wildfire has occurred.
3. After gathering the information, unique colors
appear on the map that symbolize fire
progression and its behavior in the affected
vicinity.
4. All other information related to thermal radiative
power with accurate detection times is also
provided
BASE LAYERS
With the installation of these base layers, users
can toggle between them from one layer to
another,
Google Hybrid Imagery
Open Streetmap
Google Terrain

 Wildfire Viewer

Visualization and Data Layers

Unique color schemes were used to improve the visualization as can be seen in the image above. Apart from that, in time collection
of information from weather stations is further displayed through the data layers. Some of the essential layers given below were
utilized by our team to help in spatial organisation of the gathered data.

Current fire activity displays the happening wildfires at various locations

Historic fire activity shows previously occurred wildfires within a specific time-frame
Fire Hazard Severity layer tells the intensity of fire whether it’s moderate, high or very high
Informs you about the responsibility areas in case of potential wildfire
With the help of Wildfire Viewer, the direction of wind can also be identified through geomac perimeters. This improves the
analysis and decision-making when a wildfire occurs.

About the app
Parcel Viewer It’s an open-source
platform that was developed to
acquire the accurate property
information across the region.
'NRC reports that around 150 million
parcels exist in United States and
the  number is increasing.'
The best feature of this parcel viewing
platform is the fact that you can have
all the property information within
seconds with one tap of your finger or
a click. This could not have been
possible without OneClout’s highly
qualified tech team.
Details such as street address,
mailing address, identification
number (APN) or the parcel size can
be accessed conveniently with the
help of Parcel Viewer.
AVAILABLE IN 30+
COUNTIES ACROSS

the respective user allowing them to explore parcels
with their various details.
2. Intelligent search tool enables the customers to get
the desired results
3. Accurate and quick parcel searching and browsing
can be done through its advanced feature.
4. The data fields and property attributes in the app
enables the user to identify the parcels in no time.
5. Apart from advanced search, you also have a luxury
to compile different subject parcels of your choice
and download their property data.

HOW DID WE MANAGE TO BUILD SUCH BENEFITS &
AN EFFICIENT PLATFORM?
RESULTS
It’s not the question of what resources and technologies we
used, but in fact how we utilized those components which led
to the development of MapPort®.
Following are the technologies that helped us achieve
efficiency and efficacy:
Python and Django
Our Python and Django team was not only able to put the app
together, but most importantly, they made sure that the app
was scaled enough for a large number of users across the Scalability for THOUSANDS
country. of users
1000+ Gigabytes of data
Geoserver, PostgreSQL and OpenLayers
served so far and increasing
It was a step-by-step process that had to be done intricately.
Therefore, we started off by installing GeoServer, creation of High volumes of GIS data
analytical server-side processes and lastly, rendering the data processed and extrapolated
using latest OpenLayer technologies which were done successfully
immaculately.
Furthermore, other technologies like Bootstrap were also Transitioned from a small
company to getting its name
utilized wherever necessary to keep the efficiency of the app
among top industry rivals
intact.
