E-MAPS is a decision support tool designed for use by
Homeland Security Planners, managers and EOC personnel. The software is designed to
provide users with easy to navigate tools for emergency planning, event management and
emergency response.
The software allows a user with limited experience to
quickly navigate to the location of the incident, assess damage by identifying impacted
facilities, develop a containment plan, efficiently evacuate the surrounding area and
finally begin to recover by identifying the necessary emergency support resources.
E-MAPS can be installed on a field computer without the
need for Internet access. The software can be easily implemented in Emergency
Operation Centers or Mobile units. The software is
self contained and does not require any additional mapping software or data.
The E-MAPS web interface allows the system to share event
information between other E-MAPS users or through the Internet/Intranet with a broad
number of users.
Users with existing ESRI based GIS data can substitute in
house data in the software. E-MAPS is designed to run in field conditions on minimally
configured laptop or desktop systems running any version of Microsoft Windows Operating
System.
