Emergency Responders
Emergency responders use TOPO! Pro for pre-disaster planning, for event operations and mapping, and for post-event analysis.
Pre-disaster planning
TOPO! Pro is an ideal mapping tool for assessments prior to disasters. Use it to:
• Determine the likelihood of an area being prone to damage;
• See the lay of the land with 1:100k and 1:24k seamless USGS Quad maps, scanned at high resolution, ready for presentation-quality prints.
• Identify key assets on the ground, to assess the assets' current status, and to create community-wide plans based on having a full inventory of assets and their condition;
• Create access and evacuation routes;
Mapping during disaster response• Quickly and accurately record boundaries of the incident;
• Utilize instant mapping tools with or without real time GPS, by air or on the ground;
• Seamless 1:100,000- and 1:24,000-scale USGS maps save time by eliminating the “cutting” and “collaring” that you have to do when using quads from the USGS. The seamless data also makes it easy to zoom and pan across wide areas, and to create presentation-quality prints centered where you want them;
• Create and use your own symbology, icons, and line styles to represent incident status e.g. incident points, staging areas for responders, threatened properties, evacuation routes, landing strips, and much more;
• Calculate exact Area for any polygon – and select one or more polygons for Area Analysis;
• Use desktop or mobile computers to manage content and display the fire maps with such features as shaded relief, video attachments, photo attachments, plus documents and comments;
• Generate elevation profiles for quick terrain perspective;
• Attach Photos, Notes, Digital Video and Web links to any location on the map, and share with other TOPO! Pro users;
• “Search for Nearest” enables you to locate essential services and get distance and bearing for landing strips, water resources, hospitals and more;
• Easily incorporate your maps into reports or documents;
• Record and save information with Date and Time stamping for post-incident review;
• Seamless 1:100,000 and 1:24,000 topographical maps available for all 50 states.
