A new MapObjects-based application, MaxResponder brings geospatial power to the aid of fire, EMS, police, Hazmat spill response, emergency management, and other agencies responding to everything from small house fires to large-scale terrorist incidents. MaxResponder includes an administration module, which allows organizations to create and manage their own first responder databases including strategic preplans and floor plans geolinked to their own custom GIS layers. In order to allow remote data entry of preplan data into the database, MaxResponder also includes a data collection module. Finally, to distribute this geospatial database in the field, the MaxResponder mobile module gives responders a user-friendly in-vehicle geospatial solution.
