New Jersey-based public safety consulting firm Rodgers Group has launched a business group in response to a growing demand for visual-based emergency management plans.
The company said Tuesday its Critical Response Group aims to help clients transform text-based emergency action plans into collaborative response graphics with BAE Systems‘ Geospatial eXploitation platform.
Rodgers Group President Frank Rodgers said he believes CRGs can help “bridge the gap between having a written plan and actually being able to use and operate on that plan during a critical incident.”
Critical Response Group will also use BAE’s GXP Xplorer server to help first responders and emergency management professionals track and locate colleagues in real time through a common geospatial reference.
The organization employs former officials of the U.S. Military Special Operations Command, SWAT commanders and high-level state law enforcement agency executives, according to Rodgers Group.
