Intrado Life & Safety, a global pioneer in public safety solutions announced a partnership with GeoComm, a provider of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) data.
This partnership aims to enhance data available via Intrado’s Spatial Insight product by integrating interior GIS data from critical buildings, including schools, airports, courts, and hospitals, thereby improving emergency response capabilities.
Spatial Insight offering
"The call centres that support our first responders may have the address of a building such as a school or hospital that is experiencing an emergency, but just the address alone is not enough to locate someone in need inside the building," said Jaz Lin, Head of Product at Intrado.
Jaz Lin adds, "Our partnership with GeoComm and the extensions it enables to our Spatial Insight offering help provide public safety call takers the detailed information they need to get help to the right people in the right places at the right time. Room-specific location significantly reduces response times, ensuring first responders reach the right room and improve outcomes."
Public and school safety solutions
"It is critical to enable interoperability within public safety and school safety solutions to increase access to critical information. In this case, the indoor GIS maps provide increased situational awareness for 911 emergency response," said Jeff Liebl, GeoComm President & CEO.
Jeff Liebl adds, "This partnership represents our commitment to supporting community safety to save lives and protect property when seconds matter."
Public Safety Answering Points
GeoComm’s indoor maps and other useful sources of supplemental emergency information, including automotive telematics and supplementary data supplied from mobile devices including mobile phones are available to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) for free with Intrado’s Spatial Insight.
With Intrado and third-party integrations, as well as stand-alone modes, Spatial Insight enables field teams with the best possible detailed information about the emergency at hand. Intrado Spatial Insight will be on display at the 2024 APCO International’s Annual Conference & Expo on August 5 & 6 in Orlando, Florida.
