Current Situation
Today’s emergency response environment is often limited to voice calls and doesn’t leverage geospatial location, video, images, or common communication tools such as texting and social media. Text, for example, can be used in situations in which a victim needs to remain silent, such as a campus incident in progress.
Goals and Objectives
Provide a high level of safety and security to everyone; enable responders to provide meaningful assistance in the shortest time possible. Dramatically improve situational awareness, school safety and resilience, and use resources more efficiently and effectively.
Technology Deployed
Cloud-based dispatch and emergency response, advanced analytics, text, photo and video analytics, and mobile-enabled rich media transfer
Use Case Summary
Cloud, mobile, analytics, and mobile technologies help first responders collect better and new information, enhance situational awareness, and deploy resources more effectively and quickly. Continuous protection of students, faculty, and staff is provided; responders are enabled to arrive on a scene with real-time information needed to respond swiftly and effectively.
