“...We need real-time, relevant information as it relates to what we’re responding to so that our [field] responders can have some insight as to what they’re walking into or what type of situation they’re about to encounter.” We couldn’t agree more! #RapidSOS #IamResponding #RapidSOSReady #IntelligentSafety #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #FirstResponders #SafetyTech #TechForGood

🚨 Real-time Rescue: A Story of Precision and Care 🚨  On May 1st, at 11:42 AM, teamwork and technology came together to transform an urgent call for help into a successful rescue mission.  The call was for a 28-year-old hiker in Santa Cruz County with a possible broken leg along Madera Canyon. The Valley Emergency Communications Center (VECC) sprang into action, leveraging RapidDeploy’s #RadiusMapping to gather vital information, such as the name of the victim, emergency contacts, and medical info, all from the initial cell signal.  VECC responders then initiated a text conversation with the victim, which not only provided immediate reassurance to the victim but also pinpointed the hiker's precise location as she sought shade. With RapidDeploy’s #breadcrumbs, a trail of live updates became the blueprint for the rescue operation, guiding rescuers directly where to go in the vast mountain.  Now armed with a clear rescue plan, and data from #RapidLocate, the response teams made contact just over 2 miles up the trail—using actionable information to make critical decisions that led to the location and rescue of the victim. A heartfelt thank you to the VECC team and the brave rescue crews. Your commitment to rapid, informed action is truly making a difference.  #GVFDPIO #drexelfire #tubacfire #firefighterlife #Teamwork #RescueMission #EveryMomentMatters #missionmatters #telecommunicator #publicsafety #govtech #ng911 #911Dispatch NENA: The 9-1-1 Association APCO International National Association of State 911 Administrators (NASNA)

RapidDeploy’s Molly Conaboy, PMP and A. Wesley Jones, ENP, RPL joined Kentucky 911 Services Board Administrator Mike Sunseri in a presentation to a state legislative committee on the value of collaboration between state agencies and private sector partners to offer Kentucky telecommunicators access to more GIS information than any other state in the nation. The result of this collaborative approach could yield big dividends to public safety efforts in Kentucky as dozens of GIS and supplemental data layers are made available to all 117 Kentucky PSAPs through RapidDeploy’s #RadiusMapping solution. 🤝 We're proud to partner with Kentucky on NG911 solutions, enhancing public safety across the state. https://lnkd.in/gJNUhitg #EveryMomentMatters #missionmatters #telecommunicator #publicsafety #govtech #ng911 #911Dispatch NENA: The 9-1-1 Association APCO International National Association of State 911 Administrators (NASNA)

If you are attending the Maryland State Firemen's Association conference on June 17, consider attending 'Death During Search,' a look at LODD data related to search. The presentation covers understanding our fatality data, misunderstandings, the influence social media has on what firefighters think about our LODD data, the problem with profiling, the nature of death, commonalities found in reports, and LODDs during search training. https://lnkd.in/dnYNxzpm #datanotdrama

During emergency response, 'quick situational awareness' is not just a goal, it's a necessity. Our partnership with schools across the state of Florida, highlighted by WFTX FOX 4, has positioned Critical Response Group's mapping technology as an essential tool, guaranteeing that first responders can swiftly access detailed emergency maps on any platform in use. As highlighted by our COO Alex Carney, "It doesn't matter what software they're using, as long as everybody's looking at the same map." These maps are more than just navigational tools; they're a unifying language for safety and emergency response.
