With the rise of active shooters, it becomes more critical for first responders to quickly navigate to a hot spot, such as a classroom building, to apprehend suspects and help victims. Using esri’s Multimodal Network Analyst and web mapping APIs, a web based mobile application was developed to enable first responders to communicate on the same platform to increase the awareness of the hot spot. It helps reduce the ambiguity in communication and increase the efficiency of resource management.
