Disaster Recovery
“Disasters typically compromise the two things most essential for response and relief services - the ability to communicate and the ability to function in a geographically disrupted area. Whether the agency is a first responder or a social service provider; whether the information is damage assessment or site assignment - solutions to these problems are vital.”

“Fire engines and trucks from each fire station will go out on ‘damage-assessment’ routes, where they will look for dangerous situations and buildings, and look for trapped victims, fires, major damage to utilities, building damage and bridge conditions.”

“The MiKi is a great system to allow emergency responders to not only see, in real time, scene management, but to document what is going on and to have a record of the response and activity during a major event. The incident commander, supervisors, other critical on scene responders and managers can easily see what is happening, where responders are located, what needs to be covered or addressed, and know what others are doing because of its interactive capability. This is a terrific tool that enhances critical incident response and management.”
