Maps are integral to any emergency plan; they visually represent your risk and hazard assessment, reflect preparedness strategies and aid in response.
Emergency mapping involves more than just documenting evacuation routes. It considers the actions and information needed during any incident, inside and outside a building, and throughout all phases of the emergency.
