Seed your target-hazard inventory from the county parcel roll, or add buildings by hand, with an occupant-load estimate and a pre-plan one tap away.

What this does not do
not an inspection record; the occupant load is an ESTIMATE that names its own derivation, never a verified headcount; parcel-seeded coverage is Monroe County only today (a department elsewhere enters its inventory by hand); not live occupancy or vacancy from any external feed; not a NERIS export (the column names are adopted, the export itself stays parked).
The buildings most likely to turn a routine call into a bad night — apartment blocks, care facilities, schools, hotels — deserve their own list, not a spreadsheet nobody opens during a call. Coffee Table Tactics keeps that list on the Target Hazards screen, one tap from the Dashboard.
Open the inventory
Click Target Hazards on the Dashboard's tab row. Every role can read the inventory — the buildings your department watches shouldn't require a viewer to ask an officer to see them — but only a member and above can change anything. A viewer sees every editing control disabled, with the reason stated rather than hidden.
Seed from the county parcel roll
Click Seed from parcels to pull candidate buildings straight from a county's own parcel data, filtered to the property classes worth tracking: multi-family, institutional, assembly and education, lodging, industrial and hazmat, and large commercial. Seeding only adds — a row you've already curated is never rewritten, and a building you dismissed is never brought back.
That coverage is Monroe County only today. Outside it, the button still appears, but the app states plainly that no parcel data covers your department yet and points you to adding buildings by hand instead.
Add a building by hand
Add building opens a form that geocodes the address you pick from the suggestions — a row with no real coordinates can't be drawn on the map or matched to an incident. From there, open the row to fill in a Hazard group, units in structure, construction, and floor area.
The occupant number the app shows is always an estimate, and it always names how it was worked out: an officer's own count, if one was entered; units times your department's household factor, if not; or floor area divided by a 200-square-foot-per-person residential factor as a last resort. A derived number never gets written back as an entered one.
Check Vacant structure to flag an empty building, add free-text Notes for standpipe locations, knox boxes, or access problems, and open or create a linked pre-plan right from the row — see Pre-plans for what a pre-plan captures.
Draw your district
On the map beside the list, click Draw district to trace your response area corner by corner and narrow what a parcel seed offers. Saving a district changes a department setting, so it takes a department admin; a member who draws one is told that plainly, and the seed still runs on their municipality picks. The list and the map always show the same buildings, so the two can never disagree about what you're looking at.
Filter, sort, and see it on the map
Toggle by hazard group, filter by vacancy, pre-plan status, or review status, and search by address. The map draws exactly what the list is currently showing.
What shows up on a call
The moment an incident lands on a listed address, the Building panel shows a Target hazard card — hazard group, units, the occupant estimate with its derivation named, any vacancy or placard marking, key contacts, and a link back to the full row in the inventory. The card is read-only: an incident commander reads it and decides. Nothing on it writes back to the incident record.
Recording a vacant-structure placard, an occupant profile, and a periodic review with a recorded reason rounds out a building's record between calls.
