How data analytics lead to a faster and more effective search and rescue

Information and time are the most precious resource for emergency responders. Even with the aid of rapidly deployable tools such as drones, public safety workers may still find themselves playing catch-up with developing situations.

Data analytics can help save lives by allowing faster responses based on better information pulled from previous incidents.

Emergency responders collect large amounts of data during their day-to-day operations. Meanwhile, environmental conditions that substantially impact the likelihood of emergency situations – such as dry weather increasing the risk of fire or heavy storms driving up the likelihood of flooding in certain areas – are also readily accessible.

Data-based heat mapping is critical to revealing hot spots for search and rescue cases. By analysing data, first responders can identify trends that could lead to faster responses and safer outcomes in the event of emergencies.

The Locate Global solution provides actionable data insights in one simple platform. Manage emergency incidents efficiently allocate resources, assign tasks, and track the status of incidents while maintaining a comprehensive record of user interactions.

Automate response workflows and streamline incident management processes. This reduces response times, minimises human error, and ensures consistent and efficient handling of emergencies.

Designate high-risk zones across multiple locations and provide automatic notifications upon entry. This enhances situational awareness and enables proactive measures to mitigate against potential hazards.

Conduct data audits to provide accurate data and highlight vulnerabilities for informed decision-making, continuous improvement, and proactive risk management.
