Posted on April 24, 2009
The ‘Dispatch’ situational awareness application is a web based tool that provides agencies with the real-time “big picture”, of incident, resource, risk, and logistic information agency-wide, as well as extending that picture to other co-operating agencies. Presenting key information in a user defined and proven presentation, Dispatch combines real- time information and decision support tools to effectively manage wildfires and other incidents.
