Disaster Preparedness and Response
TOPO! Pro is an extremely useful as a tool to prepare for—and respond to—disasters. Emergency responders , fire fighters , search and rescue teams , and oil/chemical spill responders can use TOPO! Pro as a primary mapping tool for response logistics, operations, and follow-up.
Emergency Responders use TOPO! Pro for pre-disaster planning, for event operations and mapping, and for post-event analysis.
Fire Fighters can use TOPO! Pro to map an area, and use the maps to determine the best ingress and egress routes, to identify water sources, to build evacuation plans, and to develop pre-disaster mitigation plans. This is especially useful in the wildland/urban interface, where homes and properties are often within the danger zone—and where evacuations must be done quickly and efficiently.
Search and Rescue Search and rescue teams use TOPO! Pro to create maps and search plans for remote areas so that if an event occurs, the maps and plans are ready to go. This pre-planning using TOPO! maps and tools can save valuable time, and get the teams in the field more quickly—and with better tools to conduct the search.
Oil and Chemical Spills Responders use TOPO! to assess the situation, and to quickly record changes in spill patterns and flows. Topographic maps enable mitigation experts to plan evacuations and response team strategies.
