Emergency responders and county governments will now be able to look for and share critical geospatial information and maps across Montgomery, Frederick and Prince George's Counties thanks to a new interoperable data exchange (INDEX) delivered by Lockheed Martin
"The ability for us to share information quickly and efficiently is vital to the safety of our residents and first responders," said Jack Markey, Director of Emergency Management in Frederick County, Md. "The goal of this project is to improve public safety data sharing by developing and delivering a standards-based, geospatially-referenced data exchange capability between our counties. As initiatives like Next Generation 9-1-1 continue to progress, the need for securely and rapidly sharing accurate data to support public safety efforts will only increase. This project marks an important step forward for our capabilities."
