Emergency Management GIS Software
Blue Marble’s emergency management GIS software connects command post planning with field response. Global Mapper and Avenza Maps provide a complete office-to-field workflow, enabling reliable response operations even when connectivity is unavailable.
Common emergency services workflow challenges
Maps Go Stale Before the Briefing Ends
Static maps can’t keep up with shifting perimeters, flood extents, or access conditions. Field teams deploy with outdated information.
Connectivity Fails when the Mission is Active
Fire lines, search zones, and disaster areas rarely have reliable signal. Field teams need verified maps that work without a network.
Critical Information Doesn’t Make it Back to Command
Photos, damage assessments, and field updates are often scattered across devices, emails, and reports. Incident commanders need structured, location-aware information they can act on immediately.
Workflow
Process site data
Lidar, drone imagery, and terrain inputs
Analyze & validate
Viewsheds, flood simulations, access route analysis
Prepare for field
Package verified maps for offline mobile deployment
Execute in the field
Navigate, capture observations, and log conditions in real time
From analysis to action
Blue Marble connects command post planning with field execution. Global Mapper prepares and validates the maps. Avenza Maps puts them on field devices, offline-ready and available before teams deploy.
Office
Process, model, and prepare verified spatial data before teams deploy.
Field
Navigate, capture observations, and log conditions anywhere in the operational area, with or without connectivity.
Emergency response depends on spatial data that holds up under field conditions. Global Mapper gives your team the processing power to handle lidar, drone imagery, terrain analysis, and flood modeling before operations begin. When field teams deploy, Avenza Maps puts verified, georeferenced maps in their hands, offline-ready and GPS-enabled, so command post planning translates directly into field execution.
Key outcomes
Purpose built for emergency services
Emergency response leaves little room for uncertainty.
Blue Marble helps organizations prepare accurate operational data, deploy verified maps to field teams, and maintain a reliable flow of information throughout the incident lifecycle. From planning and response to documentation and after-action review, Global Mapper and Avenza Maps help teams operate with greater confidence when conditions are changing fastest.
