Why GIS?
“GIS technology gives public safety personnel the ability to manage and analyze large amounts of location-based information. Data (including files from legacy systems) can be stored in a geodatabase and used to visualize spatial relationships and reveal trends critical to public safety response and planning. Computer-generated maps can be shared across a network or the Internet with multiple agencies to coordinate efforts and maximize resources.”

Why Emergency Response?
"Preparing communities to respond to bioterrorist threats or events is a top priority in our country right now. With GIS as a core component to this solution, the immediate impact will be to make GIS an integral component of the day-to-day operations of public health and public safety organizations.”
Bill Davenhall, Health Industry Solutions Manager, ESRI

Project Goal
• Identify emergency response software package that best fits the needs for a medium sized city (Arlington, TX)– Evaluate off-the-shelf emergency response
software applications and tools – Assume that no GIS-based emergency response
system currently exists

Three Main Components of Autodesk Emergency Response Model
Administrative - Training and preplanning are done in this phase
– Autodesk Pre-Plan
Tactical - Refers to the “first responder” activity that takes place on the scene of an emergency
– Autodesk Mobile Command
Strategic - Refers to the management of a disaster, which often takes place in an emergency command center away from the actual sit
– Autodesk Crisis Command 2
