St Tammany Parish
Resource Asset Manager (RAM)
RAM consists of two sides of resource availability:
- Viewing
- Updating
For St Tammany Parish, resource availability is considered to be the number of vacancies available in the Shelters and Hospitals around the parish.
RAM makes viewing of all the available resources very simple by mapping them in a web-based application. In the map, symbols help to show the type and location of each resource. Labels aid in denoting the availability of each resource on the map and provide a quick and simple visual cue. A legend is also provided as a quick reference guide for the meaning behind each symbol and label.
For each type of resource there is a website that can be utilized for updating the availability status of each resource. Depending on the resource, a user login and password may be required. The login information is used to determine which resource(s) that user is allowed to update. Once the user is into the website, they are allowed to select the specific resource from a drop down list and update the resource's availability.
It is important to note more tools based on other resources can be created and added to RAM.
