GIS facilitates the effective allocation of personnel, equipment, and other resources by identifying the location of available support resources and helping determine how to get them to the right place to support critical operations
CrawlUsing paper-based maps in an agency or on an incient that depict where resources are headquarters (or deployed) is a good first step to supporting logistics. To this map, agencies often add Sectors, First-due areas, fleet support locations, fueling locations, and staging areas. |
WalkMigrating to an online version of these maps is the next step with GIS – and allowing the users to interact with it to pan, zoom, and query for information. |
RunFinally, a web mapping solution that is integrated with other major Public Safety systems (CAD, RMS, AVL, and Staffing) allows the logistics workflows of the agency to be available and helpful to all members. From tactical/situational awareness to a view of who is available, scheduled for maintenance, or out of service becomes a GIS supported dashboard of the department that creates efficiency every shift. |
