On-Demand Emergency Response Support
Effective emergency response systems are traditionally challenging to implement to safeguard communities, maintain public safety, and ensure timely interventions.
We combine advanced technologies to deliver comprehensive emergency response solutions that empower first responders and emergency managers with actionable insights.
Our Integrated
Data Approach
IoT Remote Sensors with LoRaWAN
IoT Remote Sensors with LoRaWAN High-precision sensors, such as water level monitors and environmental sensors, detect and record critical changes in real time.
Satellite Imagery
High-resolution satellite data provides large-scale coverage, identifying affected areas and facilitating rapid assessment during emergencies.
Map an Entire Region On-Demand for Strategy
Once you build up a large amount of data, we can train our software to start to predict events on a local scale, e.g. large rainfall in mountains may be an indicator of flooding a few hours later in the lowlands.
Monitor water levels to provide early warnings and coordinate effective flood response efforts.
Floods pose significant risks to communities and infrastructure.
By installing IoT water level sensors and adding data from satellite imagery, we provide real-time data on rising water levels and flood progression.
Flood Monitoring and Response
Our system integrates environmental sensors and satellite imagery to monitor fire-prone areas.
Automated alerts enable rapid response to emerging wildfires, reducing damage to ecosystems and property.
Predictive modelling supports strategic planning, helping to allocate firefighting resources where they are needed most.
Wildfire Detection and Alerts
In challenging environments like New Zealand's dense bush or wide ocean areas, traditional search methods can be slow and resource-intensive.
We partner with satellite suppliers of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging to spot reflective material that is out of place in nature, scaling down the search area quickly.

More Information Understanding Emergency Response Challenges Emergency situations such as floods, wildfires, and search and rescue operations present significant challenges. Rapidly changing conditions, limited resources, and the need for timely information require advanced solutions. Traditional methods often lack the speed and accuracy needed for effective response, leading to increased risks and impacts on communities. IoT Sensors for Emergency Monitoring IoT sensors play a vital role in emergency response. These sensors are designed to measure critical parameters, including: Water Level Monitoring: Sensors provide real-time data on river and reservoir levels, crucial for flood forecasting and warnings. Environmental Conditions: Weather stations and environmental sensors monitor temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other factors affecting emergencies like wildfires. Technical Specifications of Our Sensors: Accuracy: High precision measurements for reliable data. Power Supply: Long battery life or solar-powered options for remote locations. Communication Protocols: LoRaWAN, LTE-M, and other protocols for reliable data transmission. Satellite Imagery Analysis Satellite imagery provides a macro view of affected areas, crucial for assessing the extent of emergencies. High-resolution imagery allows emergency managers to identify impacted zones, plan response strategies, and monitor the progression of events like floods or wildfires. SAR Imagery for Search and Rescue SAR imagery is particularly effective in penetrating dense vegetation and cloud cover, making it ideal for search and rescue operations in environments like New Zealand's bushlands. By processing SAR data with AI analytics, we can identify signs of human presence, such as disturbed vegetation or heat signatures, enhancing the effectiveness of search efforts. Advantages of Satellite and SAR Monitoring: Large-scale coverage of remote and inaccessible areas. Timely updates during emergencies. Improved accuracy in challenging environments. AI Analytics for Predictive Modelling Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a cornerstone of our emergency response solutions. AI-driven algorithms analyse data from IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and weather forecasts to predict developments and support decision-making. Predictive modelling is particularly useful for: Forecasting flood progression based on water level and rainfall data. Predicting wildfire spread using environmental data. Identifying likely locations of missing persons in search and rescue operations. Our system integrates seamlessly with GIS platforms, providing geospatial visualisations that are easy to interpret. Digital Twin Technology Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical environments, integrating real-time data from IoT sensors and satellite imagery. These dynamic models provide a comprehensive view, enabling: Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously updated with live data. Scenario Simulation: Test "what-if" scenarios to assess potential developments. Data Centralisation: A single source of truth for all stakeholders, improving collaboration and decision-making. Digital twins are particularly valuable during emergencies, providing a dynamic tool for planning and coordination. Case Studies: Proven Success Flood Response Management In a flood-prone region, our solutions provided real-time water level monitoring and predictive analytics. Early warnings allowed authorities to issue timely evacuations and deploy resources effectively, reducing the impact on communities. Search and Rescue in New Zealand Bush During a search and rescue operation in dense bushland, SAR imagery combined with AI analytics helped locate missing hikers. The technology enabled search teams to focus their efforts, resulting in a successful rescue within 48 hours. Technical Infrastructure and Integration Our solutions are designed for seamless integration with existing systems. Our platform supports: APIs for Data Exchange: Ensuring compatibility with third-party tools. Standardised Formats: GeoJSON, CSV, and other industry-standard formats. Custom Dashboards: Tailored interfaces for specific needs. Cloud-based infrastructure ensures that data is securely stored and easily accessible, while edge computing capabilities allow for local data processing in remote areas. Benefits of Advanced Emergency Response Solutions Enhanced Response Times: Rapid access to critical data improves reaction speed.
