Disaster Risk Management and Emergency Response

The world is seeing an increase in the frequency of major disasters. Whether of natural or man-made origin, a major re-think and re-evaluation is taking place on how to best manage the risks of such events. New technologies influence innovative emergency and crisis management concepts. Federal and local government agencies and private organisations require access to new solutions and reliable data to provide a quick response to disasters or security threats.

Our solutions support the day-to-day work of incident and rescue units as well as disaster control and management institutions helping to respond and minimise the risk and vulnerability to organisations, communities, and whole countries.

Preparedness and prevention

The first step towards emergency response planning is identifying and assessing the possible emergencies a country, region or organisation may face. The goal is to prevent serious disruption of the functioning of a community or society, because when a disaster hits, immediate response actions are required to prevent loss of life and analyse what happened. The ability to set up and quickly document an incident in minutes is critical to preparing response strategies, preserving life and preventing further damage.

With our 3D laser scanner, the Leica RTC360, incident response teams can capture entire environments and create accurate digital models of buildings and surroundings in a 130-metre range. The RTC360 solution creates a digital representation of the place in a few minutes and provides complete 3D documentation and visualisation. With the Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 software is possible to visualise environments in 3D onsite.


Protective actions for life safety

Hazardous and life-threatening situations can be mitigated when a proper plan is in place before they occur. Every country, community and facility should develop and implement an emergency plan for protecting civilians, rescue teams and anyone else, the so-called “protective actions for life safety” plan.

The Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 Quick Plan, the in-field tool can quickly create floor plans and models based on data captured with your scanners and Cyclone FIELD 360 software. This data can help, for example, the incident response teams with the building evacuation or finding shelters from severe weather, airborne hazards, such as a chemical release or possible acts of violence. The priority of all actions is always protecting lives.


Response and recovery in challenging conditions

When an emergency occurs, the priority is protecting lives. The second priority is the stabilisation and documentation of the incident even in adverse weather conditions and difficult to access terrain.

HxGN Content Program offers large-area aerial data being continuously updated and available 24/7 for streaming. For emergency and incident managers and commands, this means having the best available birds-eye view imagery to make the most informed decisions in emergency situations.

The Leica Pegasus:Backpack already proved many times to be an invaluable wearable mobile mapping solution to quickly, safely and easily capture inaccessible disaster areas in 3D on foot, therefore reducing the working time in the dangerous area. The BLK2GO handheld imaging laser scanner can be flexibly used by the emergency response teams indoors or outdoors. The BLK2GO creates a 3D digital twin while you walk through a space. It is one of the fastest and easiest ways to scan a large building, structure or even an environment helping a rescue and recovery action.
