WebEOC was developed nearly two decades ago to meet the needs of emergency management agencies. Today, WebEOC is not only used by local, state and federal government agencies, but it is also utilized by corporations, public utilities, universities and more. With all of our WebEOC customers in mind, Juvare has developed additional add-ons to support the needs of each organization. These add-ons, featured in our New Year, New Tech webinars, are outlined below to help you decide which ones best align with your agency’s objectives.

Communication Add-ons

Communication is critical to your organization’s safety, effective response and recovery. WebEOC focuses on ensuring seamless communication with add-ons that support multi-communications within your organization and beyond. Our top rated communication add-ons include:

  • IMX Connect – Receives notifications from WebEOC status boards and quickly launches WebEOC from your iOS or Android device.

Data Administration and Planning Add-ons

Saving time and increasing efficiency are two main goals for every emergency manager. The ability to streamline schedules, resorts and data not only helps you during an incident, but it also allows you to evaluate and improve after. WebEOC offers the following add-ons to help you achieve your primary goals:

  • Simulator Templates Builder – Supports the creation of simulation scenarios that can be added to and used by the WebEOC Simulator Manager tool.

Resource Management Add-ons

Administration of requests, resources, personnel and documentation can be a daunting and tedious task. With WebEOC, users are able to create, manage and display resources with ease. Resource management add-ons include:

  • Active Users – Displays all users currently logged in and captures historical user activity information.

Integration Add-ons

In daily operations and emergency situations, it is important to have an EOC that integrates with all parts of your organization, business and partners. Some of our most popular add-ons that integrate with other solutions include:

Mapping Add-ons

The power of visualization technology in emergency operation centers is more important than ever.  Users need the ability to connect information from various sources into a unified, data-rich display.  In support of this need, Intermedix offers the following mapping add-ons:

  • ArcGIS Extension – Provides seamless integration between WebEOC and ArcGIS, allowing you to use WebEOC in tandem with your ArcGIS data sources, tools and dashboards.
