A depiction is...

...a Common Operating Picture
that is easy to implement, technically innovative and right on your desktop.

...a map of your current situation
that you built on the fly, without needing to depend on your GIS department.

...a flood simulation
that takes only seconds—and that interacts with buildings, routes and more.

...a terrorism response plan
that transitions seamlessly into coordinating the response during an event.

...a "geocommunication" tool
that ensures the situational awareness of everyone involved in an exercise, drill or actual disaster response.
