With geographic information system (GIS) mapping software, public safety agencies and organizations gain a deeper understanding of where to focus efforts to prevent, protect against, and mitigate complex threats and hazards. With real-time data-driven insights aiding mission-critical decisions, departments can respond to and quickly recover from the threats that pose the greatest risk to keeping communities safe.

  • Understand

    Integrate real-time sensor data with data from business systems and partner organizations, using maps for context and communication. Visualize and analyze data to uncover hidden vulnerabilities and patterns and prioritize efforts to increase community safety.

  • Plan

    Access a global geospatial infrastructure to support secure data sharing and collaboration. Create, share, and modify plans, together with partner organizations, reducing redundancy and ensuring coverage. Engage the public on initiatives to increase resilience.

  • Act

    Monitor ongoing situations and make adjustments in real-time using maps for better situational awareness. With live asset tracking and up-to-the-minute location data, public safety organizations can use a geographic approach to inform mission-critical decisions.
