History: |
| E-MAPS was created by Citygate GIS during the DC Sniper Investigation to
allow Law Enforcement personnel to quickly locate incidents and generate optimized road
closure plans. The software was freely distributed to all response agencies involved
in the investigation. After the capture of the suspects, a number of the agencies
using the software suggested its commercialization as a decision support and computer
aided emergency management tool. E-MAPS is the result of over 3 years of research and development, focused
on providing Emergency responders and Homeland Security Planners with a decision support
and computer aided emergency management and planning tool.
