Critical Area Response Manager (CARM):
A solution for Homeland Security and Public Safety
Introducing the Critical Area Response Manager (CARM), an application specifically developed for rapid analysis, action planning and response around declared areas as a result of an incident or disaster. Critical Area Response Manager serves government agencies responsible for planning, prevention, detection, response and recovery from threats and disasters. In addition, this application serves as a primary e-Government solution to enhance information sharing and collaboration within agencies and across jurisdictions throughout the nation.
Critical Area Response Manager allows you to take control and command critical situations. You can:
-
Declare a critical area by actually drawing the specific outline of that area, set up control points and management area concentric rings as well as run analysis of the area, i.e. identify where the power lines, gas lines, bridges, landmarks are and where the closest hospitals, schools, fire stations, etc. are
-
Create action plans or establish "what-if" contingency plans
-
Respond quickly to a situation because you have all the intelligence that you need about the area at-a-glance
-
Make better, more informed decisions and share this intelligence quickly and easily
"Today, more than ever before, government agencies must be armed with the necessary tools to protect their citizens and assets and act quickly in times of emergency. By leveraging location intelligence, CARM will greatly assist government agencies in their emergency planning and response efforts as well as share and disseminate important infrastructure data, which will result in better, more informed decisions."
- Rick Memmel, state GIS coordinator for the State of Wyoming.
