Cadcorp's Gis Used By Two-thirds Of Uk Emergency Services

摘要

Digital mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) software developer Cadcorp has announced that, with the recent signing of contracts with three more of the UK's fire and rescue services, 37 of the 54 services in England and Wales have now selected Cadcorp SIS either on a corporate basis or as part of their GIS strategy. Among fire and rescue services using Cadcorp SIS desktop and web-based software is the third largest in the world - the London Fire Brigade (LFB) - where it is used both as an operational tool and as a management information tool. Developed on Cadcorp's dynamic web-based GIS, GeognoSIS, the London Fire Brigade's corporate GIS, known as IMapping, is integrated with the incident recording system and also provides links to the brigades own Incident Risk Analysis Tool (IRAT). Beyond day-to-day activities, LFB's IMapping system is used to publish maps on event plans, such as the location of resources at major sporting events and to publish site maps under the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) regulations. It is also used in various corporate-level activities, such as emergency planning and risk management, as well as for the presentation of performance statistics.
