Planning and Preparation
• Can you see
– if you have adequate water?
– the risk of escalation / spread?
– if hose runs and equipment will be effective?
– water management issues?
– what scenarios you have planned for?
– the environment a plume will cover?
• Spatial systems make it clearer

Incident Response
When an incident happens…
• Can you quickly locate
– information on special risks?
– pre-planned information and advice?
– hydrants, sumps, drains and their connections?
• Spatial systems make it faster, easier, clearer
AND
• Easy to provide to incoming teams

Away from the heat…
• Access data of many sites over the web
• See incidents and history
• See status of tanks and product
• Information for decision making in the wider

Conclusion
• A different and powerful way of managing
information
• “Maps” are a very intuitive paradigm
• Big potential, lots of possibilities
But…
• The system won’t create the information!
