HAMILTON, N.J., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Critical Response Group (CRG), the nation’s leader in critical incident mapping data, is proud to announce the official expansion of offering its Collaborative Response Graphics® in vector formats. This enhanced offering increases the accessibility of CRGs across a variety of GIS platforms and environments, reinforcing CRG’s commitment to creating a unified common operating picture for first all responders.

While CRG has been selectively offering a variety of vector formats for the past few years, this expansion underscores the company’s continued dedication to providing the most versatile and accessible mapping data solution to enhance situational awareness in emergencies. These vector outputs include essential elements and layers of CRG maps and can seamlessly integrate with pre-existing software platforms already trusted by public safety professionals.

“At Critical Response Group, our mission has always been to improve communication and coordination during crises. Offering our CRGs in additional GIS formats further empowers first responders by providing them the right information for effective decision-making and communication, no matter which platform they use,” said Mike Rodgers, CEO of Critical Response Group. “We believe that speaking the same language off of a common map during a critical incident saves time—and lives.”

Inspired and built from lessons learned in the field, CRGs have been deployed nationwide to protect schools, businesses, hospitals, and critical infrastructure. By providing a clear, shared understanding of any site’s layout, CRGs enhance response time, unify emergency teams, and support command and control during high-stress situations.
