It is widely recognised that the application of geographical
information systems (GIS) increases the capability and
effectiveness of the emergency services to respond in an
emergency situation. Modern emergency services, both in
planning and operational support, rely on accurate and timely
information about the location of incidents, crimes or assets,
often from dispersed sources of data. The ability to access and
process spatial information quickly, from multiple sources, and
to give visual feedback, is crucial to planning and operational
effectiveness.
