Security, Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Accendo^®'s mapping platform was initially designed for the sole purpose of security, safety and emergency preparedness. The system was designed by veterans of government security agencies in an attempt to provide critical information for planning purposes and, most importantly, to efficiently respond in case of true emergency.

This unique mapping platform provides specific benefits and unique capabilities when managing routine security and safety issues, and when responding to disasters and emergencies.

System benefits and cost savings

Increase operational efficiency by allowing security professionals to better design and control their secure environment:
- Significantly reduce the time needed for property training and accelerates familiarity with the related assets and their surroundings.
- Identify hazardous trends at the earliest possible time, reducing exposure to risk and related liabilities.
- Respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently, reducing damage to lives and property.
Reduce the need for many security executives overseeing the same properties.
Maximize your current security resources by deploying assets and manpower where most needed.
Eliminate confusion when dealing with external agencies. Share accurate drawings and policies to promote "one version of the truth."
Substantially reduce the cost of printing maps for daily use.
Extend the life of your security assets by keeping needed records and related maintenance issues.

Manage your security and safety assets through interactive maps

Accendo provides a simple way to manage all of your security assets and share critical information during crises and emergencies. Using a variety of graphical elements, users can easily track any asset related to security, safety or emergencies.

Identify and map all fire-related assets that can be shared with the fire department at any time:
- Fire Hydrants
- Hazardous Material
- Sprinklers and Gas Shut-offs
- Door Fire Ratings
- Manholes and Confined Spaces

Immediately identify and access cameras without having to remember which camera controls a certain area.
Plan and map evacuation routes as they relate to your assembly areas.
Identify all of your security posts with their manpower requirements and responsibilities.
Locate Detex points (predefined patrol checkpoints) and view the associated scan by security officers.

Virtual command and control system from anywhere at any time

The Accendo platform allows an organization to dynamically add and modify graphical information in real time, allowing you to share critical information with emergency responders.

Measure actual distances on any map in your system (external street maps and internal floor plans).
Retrieve detailed layout and other relevant information on any building:
- Doors with their type an opening mechanism
- Ventilation system
- Electrical system
- Furniture layout
Quickly identify the location and graphical layout of any room or area. Accendo allows you to type in the name of a room or other location, and shows you its location (for example, if a student under siege calls from the library, all you need to do is type in "library" to identify your options and retrieve the necessary information).

Access your CCTV system to make quick decisions in real time
Use the system proximity circles to identify safe evacuation areas or blast radii.
Plan the position of your emergency responders around your crisis:
- Location of different SWAT teams
- Heliport area
- Designated media area
- Triage area
Map responding hospitals and designated emergency rooms.
Share your plans and procedures with all relevant emergency responders.

Identify dangerous incident and crime trends on property maps and floor plans

While the levels of crime and incident management vary from one organization to the next, all experience incidents that must be carefully managed to reduce their number and the exposure to liability. Organizations utilizing officers can track incidents in and around the facilities, increasing the efficiency of the officers' deployment, reducing the level of incidents and ultimately reducing the exposure to unnecessary risk and associated costs. The incident report module is designed to:

Capture incidents directly onto the map at the exact location where they occurred, along with any pertinent information
Capture and share information with insurance companies, legal departments and law enforcement agencies
Identify hazardous trends based on location, hour of the day, day of the week, month of the year and any other criteria, to improve security and safety response

Analytics

Accendo's analytical engine is a powerful tool that allows you to evaluate performance and make critical decisions.

Visualize your security assessment over maps and floor plans:
- Color-code areas that are more vulnerable than others are.
- Identify your workforce according to their security clearance levels.
- Color-code your properties according to the level of their emergency preparedness.
- Analyze your security and safety spending to determine your future budgetary needs.
Obtain critical incident/crime statistics to better deploy your security force and to respond to hazardous trends at the earliest possible stage.
Set up notification alerts that will allow you to identify:
- Certifications expiration
- The need to service your fire and life safety assets

All searches done on the Accendo platform may be saved for further use, along with an assigned color that identifies these assets and or incidents when viewed on a map or floor plan. This allows users to quickly interpret the completed search.

Enhanced printing capabilities for daily operations and emergency deployments

Using unique vector graphic technology, Accendo facilitates quick navigation through detailed graphical information. Any map or drawing may be printed regardless of size and at the highest resolution possible. The size of a map printed by Accendo is limited only by the printer's capabilities.
Users may directly print any map from the system or choose to directly email the desired map with its information from the system. [sample ]
Layout elements may be added to a map and printed in detail for use with deployment of emergency responders.
