Emergency planning: giving first responders a walkthrough before they arrive

When responders arrive at a building they have never entered, the first minutes go to orientation. A Virtual Space captured in advance moves that orientation to the planning stage, where it costs nothing.

What a pre-incident model contains

• A navigable tour of every corridor, stair and exit, with a floor plan.
• Tags on gas and water shut-offs, electrical rooms, sprinkler risers, AEDs, hazardous storage and roof access.
• Measured distances for hose runs and staging.
• Exterior drone imagery showing access points, hydrants and roof layout.

Who uses it

Fire departments load the tour into pre-plan software; school districts and universities share it with local police for lockdown planning; hospitals and government buildings use it for evacuation drills. Because the link opens on any phone, it works in a command vehicle with no special software.

Keeping it current

Buildings change. VirtualSpace recommends recapture after any renovation and an annual walk for large campuses. Tags are updated without a new visit when equipment moves.

Privacy and access

Models are shared through password-protected links or private embeds, and can be restricted to named agencies. Ask your Spatialist about the Emergency Planning solution, which includes the tag schema most departments request.
