In many cases, successful emergency response starts with a map. The question of “where” is fundamental to assessing risks, planning for hazards, responding effectively to incidents, deploying resources and assisting communities recover.

Spatial Vision has a long history of involvement in the provision of information and tools to support emergency response, especially to wildfires. Our products and services are being used by an increasing number of emergency service organisations throughout Australia. This has meant Spatial Vision has acquired an unparalleled understanding of spatial technology and information requirements within the emergency management sector.  

Spatial Vision is the Australian distributor of EmerGeo™, a world leading software platform designed for emergency managers that provides them with a complete Common Operating Picture (COP).   Spatial Vision has supported implementation of this software on a trial and operational basis in various states by emergency service agencies.
