Intrado Life & Safety, a provider of public safety solutions, announced a partnership with GeoComma provider of geographic information system (GIS) data, to provide Public Safety Response Points (PSAPs) and first responders with indoor maps of critical buildings such as schools, airports, courthouses and hospitals.

The partnership aims to improve data by integrating internal GIS data and improving emergency response. GeoComm’s indoor maps and other sources of supplementary emergency information, including vehicle telematics and supplementary data from mobile devices such as mobile phones, are available to PSAPs free of charge with Intrados Spatial insight. With Intrado and third-party integrations, as well as stand-alone modes, Spatial Insight provides field teams with the best possible detailed information about the emergency situation at hand.

“The call centers that support our first responders may have the address of a building such as a school or hospital that is in an emergency, but the address alone is not enough to locate someone in need inside the building,” said Jaz Lin, Product Manager at Intrado. “Our partnership with GeoComm and the expansions it enables to our Spatial Insight offering help provide public safety receivers with the detailed information they need to get help to the right people in the right place at the right time. Room-specific location significantly reduces response times , which ensures first responders reach the right room and improves outcomes.”

“Enable interoperability within public safety and school security solutions is critical to increasing access to critical information. In this case, the indoor GIS maps provide increased situational awareness for 911 emergencies,” said Jeff Liebl, GeoComm President & CEO. “This partnership represents our commitment to support community safety to save lives and protect property when seconds count.”
