OpenGeoMesh

Federated Map Sharing for emergency organisations

Situation maps are an essential tool for emergency organisations to coordinate resources. There are many specialized tools supporting emergency organisations in this regard, but currently there is no way for organisations to seamlessly exchange situation maps during large incidents with multiple different organisations and software tools involved.

OpenGeoMesh will allow ad-hoc sharing and secure collaboration on situation maps between organisations and across tools.
