Civil Protection: Technology for Safety and Resilience

Monitor. Locate. Alert. Respond.

To maximize the reach and effectiveness of civil protection services, Intersec addresses the specific needs of public authorities, governmental agencies, mission-critical infrastructures, and telecommunication operators, at a national, regional, or local scale, in due respect to data privacy regulations. Our public safety solutions cover 400 million people worldwide and 40% of the population in the European Union.

What's possible for civil protection

Early warning

Early warning involves detecting hazards and disseminating information for effective response. Intersec processes location-specific data for public safety, offering a comprehensive view and advanced MHEWS with monitoring, alerting, and response, supporting the UN's EW4all initiative.

Early warning system

Public alerting

It takes more than a text to keep people safe. We advocate a multichannel approach, combining cell broadcast and location-based SMS technology, and extending beyond telecom channels, to ensure nearly 100% population coverage. Our public warning solutions currently cover 400 million people worldwide.

Mass notifications

Asset management

As soon as an incident is detected, our comprehensive solutions enable crisis managers to swiftly activate their standard operating procedures with ease and efficiency, and promptly inform relevant assets. Additionally, they can send timely, contextualized messages to people at risk during critical situations.

Incident response

Emergency calls

Our emergency caller location and routing solution leverages network-based plus handset-based location techniques and Advanced Mobile Location (AML) available data, to provide emergency services with critical, certified, up-to-date information and make the most of it in all circumstances.

The GeoSafe Public Safety Suite

GeoSafe RK

Get it all on a single screen

Our map-centric Risk Knowledge (RK) solution provides comprehensive situational awareness by monitoring global exposure to hazards and incidents. This intuitive platform consolidates diverse data sources into a single user-friendly interface. Leveraging a pre-built, extensive data catalog, it seamlessly displays any data relevant to the user, from CAP-enabled alerts to specialized maps or IoT sensors. Automated alerts can be triggered immediately upon incident detection, customized to meet specific needs and contexts.

GeoSafe PWS

Alert communities exposed to risks

Our people-centered Public Warning Systems (PWS) help minimize the harm to people, assets, and livelihoods by triggering high-speed, highly contextualized, and geo-targeted alerts across all communication channels (cell broadcast, location-based SMS messages, mobile apps, satellites, social media, TV, radio, websites, sirens...). Our multichannel approach empowers crisis managers to adapt their messaging using live location data and advanced analytics. Our modular and scalable architecture is tailored for governments and mobile carriers.

GeoSafe CC

Orchestrate all critical communications

Our Command Center (CC) simplifies taskforce management and ensures clear communication with all stakeholders. It features dynamic location targeting for efficient asset management, advanced contact management for mobilizing your team, and real-time visualizations of assets in danger zones. This enables precise coordination during crises, ensuring timely and effective responses by providing a centralized platform for managing resources, communicating with personnel, and monitoring unfolding situations.

GeoSafe EC

Locate all emergency callers

As technology develops, so does our ability to respond to emergency calls (EC). Combining positioning technologies not only accurately routes the call or SMS to the most relevant PSAP, but, most importantly, ensures the reliability and accuracy of the location information, whether the caller's phone is equipped with AML or not. In other words, AML-related data combined with MNO-originated location ensures that the most accurate and reliable location information is reported and that no one is left behind.

The data and tools that matter to you

Ready-to-use applications from Day 1

Through open data, our solutions offer a dynamic cartographic display that enhances situational awareness, ensuring users see data specifically relevant to their unique crisis management needs. With a ready-to-use catalog of layers, public safety stakeholders can easily pick and choose the specific data they want to display. Our solutions allow seamless integration with any open data source through APIs, empowering users to access and analyze a wealth of information of interest to them to enhance their decision-making capabilities.

Scalable to address your unique reality

Integrating closed-source data tailored to specific contexts can further enhance the management of emergencies. By incorporating data from external systems, such as weather forecasting subscriptions, IoT sensors, or specialized maps, users can access highly accurate and relevant information to their unique realities. This flexibility ensures that the system adapts to the specific needs and challenges of the user, providing a comprehensive and adaptable solution for enhanced situational awareness.

End-to-end crisis management with network data

To achieve the most comprehensive mission-critical communications, integrating network data from Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) is a crucial step. By tapping into the vast network of MNOs, crisis managers access a digital twin of the in-situ field situation, in real-time and at scale to guide field operations and generate rapid decisions. Moreover, as people increasingly rely on mobile devices for information and communication, leveraging MNO data ensures that communications remain relevant and effective in the long term. By combining the power of open data, closed-source data, and network data, our solutions offer unparalleled reach and effectiveness in emergency management.
