Are you providing the fastest and most efficient response possible to a potential incident site? Are there gaps in your response network? Does your organization fully realize their response potential?
These are some of many questions that may be answered by choosing a Network & Response Analysis, one of EmergeX's emergency management geospatial solutions.
In order to accurately assess an organization or agency's response capabilities, EmergeX will put its GIS expertise to use in order to effectively accomplish a detailed analysis. Examples include determining the most efficient route from responder to incident, determining service area coverage (residences reached within 8 minutes, for example), or determining the closest response facility to a potential incident (e.g. High fuel load site or chemical facility). These are just some examples of how EmergeX staff can effectively communicate the response capability of the client using road network, critical facility and other available data.
Additional specific examples of this service at work include:
- Assisting fire departments in fulfilling NFPA 1710 standards (based on the fire propogation curve)
- Completing drive time analysis for fire, ambulance and other response services to vulnerable areas or common response locations
- Determining optimal location for the construction of a new critical facility, such as a fire hall
- Analyzing ingress and egress of a new subdivision or complex concerning emergency response
- Predetermining optimal response routes to hazard "hotspots" in a community
