What is GIS? Situational Awareness for Emergency Response

GIS and shared situational awareness give emergency responders a common picture ahead of the fire, the storm, or the call. Before the fire is fought, before the storm makes landfall, before the call is answered, responders use spatial intelligence to share what they know and decide what comes next. For technology and operations leaders, the value is not only in the map, it is in the common operating picture that lets multiple agencies act on the same information at the same time.
