Community Risk Assessments

Understand the drivers

Generally speaking, population levels go hand in hand with fire and EMS call volumes. The more people in your community, the more demand on your services. But determining from where, exactly, calls will originate is a bit more complex than that. While historic patterns help, neighborhoods change over time. Resident profiles shift. Retirement centers and large commercial developments—both major drivers of call volume—pop up. Continually visualizing your community’s call and demography data and analyzing the trends empowers you to keep tabs on your high-risk areas and how and when those areas may change.

Predict response times in your highest risk communities

With the Darkhorse Emergency decision analytics platform, you can visualize your coverage challenges including the probability of Effective Response Force (ERF) arrival in your low, moderate, and high risk areas.

Be proactive about resource allocation

When you’re constantly aware of your risks, you can best position your service to meet them, today and in the future.  You can instantly see how resource allocation changes will help or hurt target risk zones. Community decision makers always have access to the information they need to keep your most vulnerable areas and residents safe.
