Time is one of the most crucial factors in emergency situations. Efficient coordination and sharing of information are essential in a multi-disciplinary emergency response. This shared information is known as the Common Operational Picture. A Common Operational Picture can enhance operations, assist in faster and more effective decision making, and control and minimize damage and possibly even save human lives.

The Eagle suite for Disaster Management, built on top of Microsoft Groove and SharePoint, and using ESRI’s ArcGIS, Geodan Movida and Cyclomedias Cycloramas synchronizes and exchanges geographical and textual information, thus realizing a Single View Platform.
