Geography Matters to Emergency Medical Services
Geographic information system (GIS) software from ESRI uses geography and computer generated maps as an interface for integrating and accessing massive amounts of location-based information. Many agencies rely on GIS to access real-time. Response Emergency response teams use geographic data to generate efficient routes between hospitals or fire stations and reported incident locations. Using advanced vehicle location (AVL) and tracking, dispatch managers can track the location of various apparatus through global positioning system (GPS) transponders attached to the vehicles along a GIS generated basemap at the dispatch terminal. Analysis Computer generated map data and integrated information access can significantly improve emergency and response capabilities.
