The Holy Grail for Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure is Real-Time Situational Awareness

John Contestabile  (Commissioner, Hanover Borough, PA)
Topic: In-Building Connectivity & Location Services
Format: Panel Session
Vault Recording: TBD
John Contestabile

Knowing where all your people are and what is happening them is one of the most important things in public safety and critical infrastructure. The danger is real when there is any gap in the technology that tracks public safety pros, no matter what kind of incident is happening. While GIS and GPS have evolved, pinpoint accuracy is still far from perfect. Even if you have an accurate location as raw data, it may not mean anything until it can be actionable. In this session, discuss location-based situational awareness as a key feature for public safety.

Takeaway

Discuss how location technology has evolved.
Examine the workflow of the location data for both public safety and critical infrastructure.
Review how to make the location data actionable for better results.
