A Common Operating Platform


Esri's GIS mapping software supplies reliable information where and when you need it most. Know who and what are at risk. See where demand is changing, understand it better and manage it differently. Execute a smarter strategy across services and agencies —all through the power of visualising, analysing, and acting on data through the lens of location.

Understanding & Managing Operational Risk

Bring a wide variety of data together to know where your community is most vulnerable, and analyse why that is, in order to reduce these risks.

Managing Demand & Performance

Identify patterns and trends to build insight into the changing demands on your services. Our GIS supports fire cover and reviews your strategic resources more effectively, to meet demand and improve performance.

Improving Community Safety

Collect information, such as safe and well visits, from the field using mobile apps. This will increase your knowledge of the community, improve data quality and speed up information gathering - saving time and resources while improving community safety.

Delivering Situational Awareness

Achieve improved situational awareness anywhere, anytime with simple map based visualisations for service staff - of data such as incidents, risk intelligence and resources.

Increasing Public Engagement

Improve the quality of the information the public can access and understand about your service, helping you to increase awareness about the breadth of activities that you do. Esri's open data and online mapping apps help improve service transparency and public engagement.

Lincolnshire Resilience Forum

Protecting communities in catastrophic incidents

From floods and fires to pandemics and pollution events, the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum is using ArcGIS to help it respond effectively to all kinds of potentially catastrophic incidents. The multi-agency group has built common operational dashboards, mobile data capture tools and versatile web apps that enable strategic and tactical commanders to make fast, appropriate and coordinated decisions to improve public safety.

Norfolk Fire & Rescue

Improving the efficiency of fire hydrant inspections

Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service is using ArcGIS to help it inspect and maintain over 23,000 fire hydrants and manage planning applications for hundreds more each year. The solution, configured in collaboration with Esri UK’s Professional Services team, is significantly improving operational efficiency, while giving fire crews better information about fire hydrant availability to help them fight fires and save lives.
