Rapidly evolving technology can be harnessed to improve situational awareness in ways unlike ever before. Today nearly 20 billion connected devices exist – most that know their exact location in real-time, wearables detecting health emergencies, vehicles that understand crash severity, and buildings that know when and how they are on fire and the location of trapped occupants. Despite all of this technology, America’s firefighters respond to 37 million incidents a year, often with little more than an estimate of location and a vague description of the emergency. In this session we will take a deeper dive into the data available to emergency services from connected devices and how you can access and utilize that data. If you’ve seen all of the new safety/emergency response features from big tech and have wondered how you can shape that technology and harness its capabilities – join this session to learn more and share your insights.
