Situational Awareness
Whether you are an incident commander, firefighter, paramedic, emergency manager, law enforcement officer, or homeland security professional, having the right knowledge at the right time, is essential to perform your mission safely and effectively. GIS provides actionable information through a real-time common operational picture that integrates dynamic data feeds with the necessary local data to map the emergency, evaluate damage, and identify impacts.

Critical Infrastructure Protection
Protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure is as much an outcome of good analysis and planning as it is an exercise in physically securing assets. GIS provides functionality to accurately locate the physical location of critical assets as well as to identify and model potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural or manmade disasters.

Data Fusion
The fusion of time sensitive dynamic data with geographic data provides decision makers with a much more intuitive understandable picture that can be quickly acted upon. Analysis can be performed to better understand risk/threat density, exposures trends, and vulnerabilities or to determine whether occurrences are isolated or part of a much larger imminent event.
