Minimizing the effects of a disaster requires a coordinated effort between multiple government agencies, interagency departments, and first responders.
Imagine if within the first few hours after a storm you knew exactly what facilities had been damaged and to what extent (with pictures), where flooding or debris were making roads impassable, where signals had been damaged, what hospitals had or were currently being evacuated, which hospitals were full and no longer accepting patients, the location of all of the city’s fire and police personnel, all in real-time, all on ONE situation map.
Not only would you have this information readily accessible, but you could broadcast this information via a secured website to all governmental agencies and first responder organizations. Situational changes, which previously could take hours to circulate, instead would take only minutes.
With the aid of the latest technology developed by Northrop Grumman and ESRI, Metric Engineering stands ready to assist government agencies with a real time, dynamic situational awareness solution for emergency response efforts. Dynamically updating and quickly disseminating information about the current status of the situation enables all organizations to respond promptly and appropriately to an emergency event. Thus ultimately reducing the amount of consequential damage and restoring normalcy to our citizens.
