SpotOnResponse is available on your desktop in a browser for use in operations centers and now on your iPhone or iPad for mobile use. The SpotOnResponse iOS application is a complement to the SpotOnResponse browser application to provide ground truth from the field to support operational response decision making. School security, emergency management, public safety, volunteers, and healthcare emergency response are all examples of dispersed operations that are improved significantly by the SpotOnResponse collaboration suite.
The app allows users to download Items of Interest (IOI) to their device, giving them plans and checklists when a network is not available. The app also allows fast submission of new IOIs describing situation reports, watch items, and emergencies that are shared with other authenticated users. Maps with GIS overlays from ArcGIS® and Google Earth®, photos, videos, voice notes, and written descriptions allow everyone to have current and accurate information to coordinate response to both small daily incidents and large-scale emergencies. Widely distributed users and field operators can expose their location with the Tracking feature to aid in a well-defined response.
