DHS Partners with Mappedin to Provide free Safety Tool for Faster First Response to Crises (September 28, 2023)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has partnered with Mappedin to develop a suite of new AI-powered tools aimed at automating the mapping process. Such tools include Mappedin Response, a cloud-based capability that enables first responders to review and analyze indoor floor plans in real-time while responding to emergencies. In addition, Mappedin says its new tool, Mappedin Maker, will bridge the gap by providing access to an interactive 3D wayfinding map as well as a facility for multi-format exports

According to K-12 Dive, users can upload a floor plan of their venue or use the Maker App for iOS to create a map, which Mappedin Maker converts into a digital map. This map can be posted on websites for wayfinding or downloaded as a PDF for offline use, Mappedin says.

Mappedin Maker is widely available for free to users.
