Description of First Responder Support Tools (FiRST)
FiRST provides responders and emergency managers with critical, mobile, map-based information to support IED and Hazmat incident response. Users can access response data, annotate digital maps, retrieve current weather to orient downwind hazard areas, and assess roadblocks to isolate the area. Used in conjunction with the FiRST Sharing Service (see other side), organizations can share incident GIS data across mobile, Windows PC, and browser-based systems.
