Abstract
Exploring Applications of GIS and PSAP Data for Public Safety
Track: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Isabelle Hoogland, Frances Stanley-Jones
Public safety has recently been raised to a new level of public awareness, and the tools used for public safety applications are rapidly evolving. This paper examines the advantages of having a highly accurate GIS to use for public safety applications that either require or can benefit from it (CAD, RMS, public notification systems, etc). This paper will explore ways in which a GIS can use Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) coverage area information and discuss geographical analyses and methods for the benefit of those involved with public safety.
