Future RAPT

In July 2024, FEMA released a version of RAPT built on Esri's new WebApp tool ArcGIS Experience Builder, called Future RAPT. Future RAPT looks different and some of the analysis tools have different steps. Esri will stop supporting RAPT's current platform, WebApp Builder, at the of 2024 so we will need to transition to Future RAPT in 2025.  Please explore Future RAPT and provide feedback!!
