In the event of an emergency—whether from a terrorist attack, natural disaster, or other large-scale incident—first responders (local police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, SWAT, and HazMat teams) play a critical role. According the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the first responder community is our primary line of defense in a terrorist attack. "Properly trained and equipped first responders have the greatest potential to save lives and limit casualties after a terrorist attack."
But first responders are likely to encounter extreme environments where chaos rules. To enhance their effectiveness, they need immediate access to information to help navigate very dangerous terrain. For instance, what exit routes are safest for evacuation? Where are the closest fire hydrants? Are there gas lines that could increase danger? Understanding the needs of the first responder community and equipping them with tools to accurately assess the situation and quickly take appropriate action will help save lives and minimize risk to both the responders and the public.
