About First Responder Support Tools

FiRST provides First Responders and Emergency Managers easy access to map-based improvised explosive device (IED) standoff distances and HAZMAT spill evacuation areas. The IED standoff data is based on criteria set by the DHS Office for Bombing Prevention and FEMA 426, Reference Manual to Mitigate Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings. Hazmat evacuation and reference data is based on the 2016 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG). Users are able to define custom IED types and standoff values.

Features of the software include:
•Display IED Mandatory Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Zones for 8 pre-defined bomb sizes
•Display Isolation Zones and down-wind Protection Zones for over 3,000 chemicals
•Display distance to glass breakage, injury, and structural damage based on pre-defined bomb sizes (limited to users registering with a .gov, .mil, or .us email)
•Information displayed on phone maps, with similar functionality to zoom, search by address, current location, and map/satellite/hybrid views
•Automatically retrieve current weather from Weatherbug (www.weather.weatherbug.com) or forecast weather from the National Weather Service (US only) or Meteorologisk Institutt (Worldwide); weather can also be user input or input using the phone’s compass functionality
