Taipei: In a bid to improve the city’s emergency response capability, the Taipei City Fire Department developed a GIS-based Incident Command System which will provide first responders with critical information needed to efficiently carry out rescue operations.
The system provides a user-friendly interface which integrates spatial information crucial for the city’s Emergency Dispatch Centre to manage and mobilise rescue operations. This includes information derived from digital maps, building and block maps, aerial photographs and water resource maps among others. |
