UPDATED Instructions included.
One of the new features in COBRA is the ability to add County KML Zones to your Organization. Think of these as ATSO Zones, but at a state-wide level. The individual zones can be added to Regions that mirror how your State EMA categorizes responses actions. Once loaded into an Incident Type, the C2 node has the ability to change colors of the zone, exactly like ATSO Zones.
The process to add the County KMLs is very similar to the creation of ATSO Zones. The first step is to determine the desired Regions. For most States, the Regions are defined by the Emergency Management Agency, Department of Health or other entity. Once the Regional break out is determined the Regions and Zones can be added to COBRA for use.
Step 1. Enter the Admin page and select Region Administration under the DOMOPS button. Enter each Region and save.
Step 2. Once the Regions have been entered, begin to add the individual County KML files. On the Admin page select Zones under the ATSO button. Enter the County Name, Select the Incident Type you would like to associate the Country Zones with, Select the proper Region from the drop down, Select the County KML from it's file location, Check the "Include in Mini Map" box, type the Region name in the Description box then click save. Repeat this process for all Counties.
If you would like assistance in building out your Region/County Zones, please submit a help ticket and we will be glad to work with you.

The COBRA support team will be building out zip files with all county files as separate KML for you to begin creating zones. As we finish an archive, we will be adding them as attachments to this article. Reach out to us if you need your state built!
