We can help you implement a custom or COTS-based GIS that is adaptable, open, and interoperable to support your emergency management, critical infrastructure protection, data fusion, and disaster response activities. We build GIS solutions, such as common operational pictures, to help you

• Enable near real-time situational awareness during daily operations or during a major event.
• Collect and analyze your critical infrastructure and key resource inventories and tie them to your mitigation and response plans.
• Create overall vulnerability, threat, and risk views across your area of interest.
• Share information across departments, organizations, and levels of government on threats, targets, and response resource needs.

Our focus is on developing GIS solutions that integrate with your existing information sources and systems to enable visualization of that information and facilitate the information analysis and sharing. We develop distributed capabilities, combined with Web services and mobile technology, to provide a common operating picture to emergency and crisis management centers that keeps everyone fully informed and flexible in response.
