Preparedness• Preparation is a continuous cycle of
forecasting, planning, organizing, training, conducting exercises, evaluating, analyzing and making improvements
• GIS is more than mapping• Analytical, Data Management &
Visualization Tools• Data can be mapped, analyzed and
utilized to make improved decisions• Decision Makers can exercise response
and recovery plans during non-emergency drills
Support for all Bureaus and Units
• Paper maps, Map Books created and printed for use by all FDNY Bureaus and Units
• Sharing data files with Agencies
Progression to Feature Services
• No reliance on paper maps or forms• Greater sharing and collaborating • Greater situational awareness and true
common operating picture• Create simple more intuitive applications
for the non GIS professional user• More cost effective now across PC’s,
laptops, tablets and smartphones vs expensive difficult to use GPS devices
FDNY CRIMS MAP(Critical Response Information Management System)
Flex Viewer – Operations Center & Desktop on INTRANET
• Internal WEB Map application displays Incident Locations and other data
FDNY Mobile MAPSExplorer APP & Collector APP
• External WEB Map application using Amazon EC2 & ArcGIS Server, AGOL, Explorer & Collector Apps, as a work around, due to firewalls & security settings
• 1st Mobile CRIMS Map accessible by Operations in the field
• Services published from EC2 & ArcGIS Server & pushed to AGOL
• Ability to collect Building Damage Assessments electronically vs paper forms
• Display near real time data as it is collected
FDNY CRIMS MAP(Critical Response Information Management System)
WEB APP Builder / Java Script
• Portal for ArcGIS• Greater sharing of Maps/APPs internally• Search for GIS content within the organization• Share feature services for use in Desktop• Firewall Rules & Security Issues to access
outside of FDNY network
• Web APP Builder• App creation “No Coding Required”• Run on any device or browser• Widgets easily configured in maps
FDNY CRIMS MAP Content Pop ups provide attribute data and links to both
internal and external applications and data.

RAD Alert Readings
Annual background radiation readings in front of firehouse, 1st full week in May
Five readings per day for seven days Units input readings via an electronic form,
the avg. reading is displayed on the map Useful as a background reading map for
comparison after possible radiological release

FDNY CRIMS MAP Custom WidgetsCRIMS Incidents Widget
• Displays the latest incidents, (of consequence) Fires, MCI, Unusual Incidents… within 24 hrs., both active and closed
• RSS feed coming from our Ops Center (FDOC)
• At a glance situational awareness• Ability to locate the incident quickly, precisely using NYC
Geo-support • Pop-up has information, Links and attachments for
viewing additional data
FDNY CRIMS MAP Custom Widgets
Pictometry On-line Widget provides oblique imagery, with the ability to view archived imagery by date of capture
Provides staff chiefs and Incident Commanders with situational awareness, size-up & exposure identification prior to arriving on scene
Valuable when creating Preplans, Profiles & Exercises Archived imagery used to compare areas from a previous
date, as was the case for Hurricane Sandy Tools can be used to measure area, height, length of
buildings or areas
FDNY CRIMS MAP Custom Widgets Cyclomedia Street Smart Widget provides CURRENT High
Resolution Street View Imagery, collected annually High Resolution- see addresses, tags, features clearly Provides staff chiefs and Incident Commanders prior to
arriving on scene, size up, situational awareness Advantageous for Inspections, Pre-Planning, Exercises
Archived imagery provides comparisons of building facades, addresses, street conditions
Images are easily extracted & included in print and electronic packages for the Incident Commander, staff heading to scene, operations group
FDNY EMS Hourly Map
• Internal WEB Map application displays EMS Incident Response Data• Layered on top of the CRIMS map to create a new APP for EMS Ops.
FDNY EMS Hourly Map
Incident Data from EMS CAD hourly
• Data displayed by ATOM (Response Boundary)
• Allows operations to monitor call volume, Dispatch and Response Time
• Response time, Dispatch Time and Number of Responses
• Difference between current and previous times
• Highlights problem areas early, for corrective actions
FDNY EMS Hourly Map
EMS Incidents Density Layer - historical view of ‘Hot Spots’ of the most critical call types
Helpful for operations to locate the correct EMS resources where the call volume is greatest
Ability to drill down to see if a specific location / building, is driving the call volume up
Census Tract Data provides population counts within atoms & areas of city
Combined with Density Layer, creates a more complete picture of what resources are needed, where to locate them and more importantly, why
FDNY EMS Hourly Map
Traffic Layer offers current situational awareness of travel problems throughout the city
Influences the decision of which units to relocate into an area due to possible travel time
Operations can suggest routes for units moving into areas
