Track: EMS/Fire
Author(s): Hector Jasso, Don Reich, Kurt Warner, Willliam Hodgkiss, Chaitan Baru, Tony Fountain

9-1-1 emergency call data is currently collected across the nation, but it is being used primarily for administrative purposes. We are helping complement this effort through an analysis of this data for real-time assessment and prediction of emergency response situations. In particular, attention is given to the use of Esri tools for the automatic detection of bursts in the volume of 9-1-1 calls after such events, which generate hotspots of clustered calls happening shortly after the event and centered on it. These hotspots can be used to estimate the extent of the human impact of such events.
