The Idaho State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has been in the process of developing an Idaho Cultural Information System (ICRIS). The ICRIS is a GIS enabled application which provides internal SHPO workflow management tools resulting in efficiencies that will decrease turn-around times for federal project review. Additionally, it is a portal through which external stakeholders, who are professionally qualified can view all SHPO data via a GIS, and create, upload, and track projects. The general public can view unrestricted data through the guest portal.
Use ICRIS to submit Section 106 or 110 reviews, surveys, resource records, monitoring and annual reports, or to start new PA consultation.
For the best functionality and experience, use a Chrome browser for ICRIS.
