How to plan for, respond to and deal with the aftermath of emergencies is a constant challenge for both the public and commercial sectors.
The range and detail of data held on OS MasterMap means that it can be used to precisely pinpoint any incident or high risk area. Not only can you identify the most appropriate route and safe access or refuge points, but you can also analyse accident patterns in those areas requiring improvement. All known environmental, demographic and historical information about a particular location can be viewed instantly in a useful real life context allowing you to predict potential hot spots and to ensure that every incident is resourced effectively.
