When faced with life-saving decisions or navigating the multitude of challenges of daily

operations, is your jurisdictions public safety personnel and rst responders equipped to

communicate and share mission-critical data effectively? This is the question Emergency

Managementset out to answer when we surveyed emergency management and public

safety professionals on their current technology and intelligence capabilities.

Mobile applications are having a profound impact from facilitating interoperable com-

munications to better situational awareness for incident management and rst response.Bottom line is that the continuing advancement and effective use of technology creates a

safer environment and overall better public service.

Whether its the instant querying of a criminal background on scene, EMS crews transmit-

ting patient vitals to prepare a hospital, or real-time location mapping of an ofcer in need,

mobile applications are a lifeline when success or failure offers only seconds to respond.

In February 009, Emergency Managementposed a series of questions to its readership

to get a baseline understanding of at what level their jurisdictions have deployed mobile

applications to give their command staff, rst responders and other key stakeholders

immediate communication resources and real-time access to vital data.

Nearly 350 responses were captured from across the country. The aggregate is presented

in this summary.

IntroduCtIon

rst responder management, emergency medical service workers and other IT professionals

across the state, local and federal sectors. The targeted population was given approximately

two weeks to respond, and received email communications directing them to the onlinequestionnaire.

All aspects of this survey including questionnaire development, deployment and report

preparation have been executed by Emergency Management.
