Emergency medical service (EMS) organizations must ensure trained personnel and medical equipment arrive on scene within time standards. GIS plays an essential role in optimizing the deployment of EMS resources and reducing response times. [PDF]

GIS provides decision makers the information they need to:

  • Analyze historical incidents to determine staffing and resource needs
  • Provide dynamic analysis to determine optimum EMS unit positioning
  • Supply dispatchers a comprehensive view of EMS unit locations and their response capability
  • Create a common operating picture that dynamically updates incident and unit locations.
  • Support EMS units with field GIS capabilities
