Civil protection in one picture.
On a normal day the picture shows that nothing is happening. When a report comes in, it sits on the location, with buildings, residents, terrain and weather, and it can be played through in advance.
The film flies from high above down into an old town, shows an assumed fire spreading on a wooded slope, a raised water level in a river valley, a hospital whose neighbourhood is coloured by sector and a map of disrupted satellite positioning.
- From high above into the old town. From the surrounding area to the building
- Play it through before it burns. Demonstrator · assumed fire on a slope
- What if the water rises? Water level as a horizontal surface
- Who lives around it? Hospitals, schools and residents nearby
- Where satellite positioning is disrupted. GPS interference
Trailer, 33 seconds: from high above into an old town, an assumed fire on a slope, a water level, the surroundings of a hospital and GPS interference. All footage taken from the product.
Prepare, play through, explain.
Disaster management, administration and crisis team need the same picture of the location, before an incident and when reviewing it.
Know the location
- Buildings, residents, terrain and weather in one place.
- Hospitals, care homes, schools and nurseries in the surroundings.
- Official warnings across Germany on the same map.
Emergency planning and exercises
Play scenarios through
- A water level to raise, metre by metre.
- Demonstrator: an assumed fire with wind, rain and terrain.
- Sun and shadow, view and terrain for planning on site.
Staff exercises in your own area
Risks with a place
- Critical infrastructure by sector, on protected maps.
- Flood zones, protected areas and population grid.
- One map per task, with access per map.
§ 11 Abs. 1 KRITIS umbrella act: risk analyses by ministries
A report comes in. What is there?
In the film: aerial imagery, terrain and 3D buildings of a city. The same map carries official warnings, DWD weather, air traffic and the radiation monitoring network across Germany; regionally denser, buildings, cadastre, population grid and protected areas are added.
When a report comes in, it sits on the location: which buildings, which facilities and how many people may be affected.
- Official warnings, weather, air traffic and radiation monitoring network
- Buildings, cadastre and population grid, regional today
- Your operational areas, assembly points and emergency shelters as a layer
How does a fire spread on a slope?
Demonstrator: an assumed fire moves cell by cell across 256 × 256 cells, driven by DWD wind and rain, slope and water surfaces; every 0.6 seconds the simulation advances ten minutes.
A scenario for exercises and explanation: which settlement, which road and which building lie downwind on the slope?
- Demonstrator on a wooded slope with DWD weather
- Your area as an exercise space, with your assumptions
What if the water rises?
With the slider, an assumed water level rises metre by metre as a horizontal surface over the terrain. The state's designated flood zones are in the same picture.
The crisis team sees in advance which roads, buildings and facilities stand in water at which level, not only once it happens.
- Water level to play through
- Designated and provisionally secured flood zones
- Gauges of your region in the same picture
Who lives and works around it?
Hospitals, care homes, schools and nurseries stand out in colour, according to their critical infrastructure sector. The population grid of the 2022 census shows how many people live around it.
Those who need help first are in the picture: hospital, care home, school and nursery at the location.
- Buildings by sector, population grid of the 2022 census
- Your list of sensitive facilities as a protected layer
Your data in the same picture.
The map brings what is officially and openly available. Your plans, operational areas and lists are added, protected.
- Operational areas, assembly points, emergency shelters, your lists of sensitive facilities
- Official warnings, weather, air traffic, radiation monitoring network, GPS interference
- Hospitals, schools, nurseries, care homes, population grid
- Flood zones, protected areas, forest and slope
- 3D buildings with height and function from the cadastre
- Terrain, aerial imagery, parcels
- Access per map, protected by password or personal access link.
- Critical infrastructure layers only on protected maps.
- Open maps can be embedded in your portal.
- Your specialist data as a layer, from your GIS via WMS or WFS.
- One map per crisis team and exercise, on the same data.
- Crisis plans for the scenario with KRITISplan.
What getting started looks like.
We show you your area in one picture, around your questions.
Demo
One hour, your area: warnings, weather, terrain, buildings and a scenario to play through.
Pilot project
A protected map for your area with your first data; defined scope, defined term.
Exercise
A scenario in your own area, together with the plan in KRITISplan.
To take away and pass on.
Topic sheet: Civil protection
Two pages to pass on: location, flooding, surroundings and a fire to play through with examples from the product, plus how to get started.
Demo for your crisis team
One hour on your area, with warnings, terrain, buildings and a scenario to play through; afterwards a summary as a PDF.
Which area should we show you?
In a demo we show SovAtlas on your area, using the data already available there.
