Bringing maps inside: GIS for safer buildings everywhere
Public safety doesn’t stop at the front door -and neither should our maps. This presentation highlights how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can deliver accurate, interoperable indoor maps for any critical building, from schools and campuses to government facilities, commercial sites, places of worship and large venues. GIS-based indoor mapping gives first responders a shared, real-time geospatial picture during emergencies, improving coordination, situational awareness and response times across dispatch and field teams.
The benefits extend well beyond crisis response. Indoor maps support pre-incident planning, evacuation design, security assessments, and the identification of radio and cellular dead zones. Post-incident, they enable deeper analysis and operational learning. By scaling indoor mapping across high-risk and high-occupancy buildings, communities can significantly strengthen safety and maximise return on investment.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how GIS-driven indoor mapping enhances public safety before, during and after emergencies- and why now is the moment to build these capabilities at scale.
