Stepping up the game: Working together to keep our schools safer

GeoComm worked with the Iowa Department of Education to implement critical incident mapping (CIM) for over 1,400 Iowa schools as part of Governor Reynolds’ School Safety Initiative. As part of this project, the GeoComm School Safety solution staff conducted site visits to verify the accuracy of provided floor plan resources, scan school buildings, and collect locations of public safety points of interest in and around schools.

GeoComm School Safety is delivering the Iowa critical incident mapping (CIM) solution for planning and responding to emergencies occurring on school properties by providing detailed indoor maps of schools and surrounding grounds.
