Software
tool for emergency planners
Confronted
by natural disasters, the continuing threat of terrorist
activity and new hazards such as avian flu, first and
second line emergency support agencies are expected to
respond effectively to a widening range of incident types.
To
help meet these demands, the systems integrator Imass has
developed planning software which provides an efficient
and flexible way of creating and implementing emergency
plans in pressurized environments.
Using
the company's Strategic Emergency Planning Solution
(STEPS), organizations can create plans that deal with
various levels of dynamic emergencies. These provide
essential information in support of responses to incidents
which may range from everyday events to natural disasters
and terrorist activities.
STEPS
integrates cordons, points of interest and data overlays
such as OS Address Point, census data, CAD plans, aerial
photography, flood levels etc., into powerful mapping
capabilities. Additional functionality can include
live CCTV feeds, audit trail and address look-up.
When
used with Smart Board tools, STEPS can record details of
an incident as it develops, offering practical features
such as a playback facility and freehand drawing.
