Canadian Company Creates Emergency Management Solution from the DK-ActiveX
Vancouver, Canada November 04, 2003
The "EmerGeo" internet-based emergency mapping solution is a client-server application created from the DK-ActiveX toolkit. EmerGeo is based on the most recent DK-ActiveX 8 beta version. The developer of the EmerGeo product has been a DK-ActiveX licensed user since May, 2003.
Vancouver, BC -- EmerGeo Solutions Inc. of North Vancouver, B.C. has developed a new internet-based emergency mapping application called EmerGeo.
EmerGeo was recently put to the test during a citywide disaster exercise in the City of Vancouver. A large wildland fire started by an overturned gasoline tanker caused the evacuation of hundreds of residents. To make matters worse, a gas main burst in the area released flammable materials into the air. This scenario was a smaller scale version of BCs worst wildland fires this summer.
EmerGeo was used to maintain a situation map for all the city emergency responders working in the Emergency Operation Centre. Fire, Police, Engineering and other departments could access their own version of these maps to plan their response actions and publish critic al information such as evacuation areas and road closures to the situation map so all decision-makers had a common operating picture.
This web-based mapping program was also donated to the B.C. Ministry Regional Operations Centre (MROC) this summer in support of the fire fighting efforts. We saw provincial government web sites describing evacuation alert areas by listing streets and landmarks as boundaries. We recognized that emergency planners could use this tool to effectively communicate critical information. Using EmerGeo, evacuation areas, locations of special needs populations who may need help evacuating, evacuation routes and other critical information can be communicated in real-time to anyone with approved access, a web browser with internet connection, explains Mike Morrow of EmerGeo Solutions. We were fortunate to be able to deliver mapping data with our application through a generous donation from a leading commercial mapping data supplier in Canada, DMTI Spatial Inc., Morrow states.
