Authors: Solomon Nimako

In an effort to address the need for a Common Operational Picture (COP) for incidents management, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has designed a unique GIS application that addresses the needs of public safety field officers. This GIS/ Adobe AIR application provides officers with standard protocols for Active Shooter, Fire, Flood, Terrorist Attack, and Chemical spills under one common picture. This GIS application provides a friendly and easy to use navigation interface, dynamic imagery, schools and city facilities floor plans, panoramic views and emergency contact list makes this application a vital management tool for an emergency situation. This application runs on a Mobil Data Computer (MDC) located within the public safety vehicles that affords public safety officers a common operational picture that will reduce information redundancy and allow for a rapid response to the emergency situation. The application is written and developed in Adobe Flex and ArcGIS Server.
