Critical incident mapping is only as good as the floor plan under it.
Verified, measured, on-site floor plans for school safety mapping, emergency operations plans and fire pre-incident planning — in the formats your mapping provider and your first responders already use.
A growing number of states, and the count moves every session.
Critical incident mapping is now required by law for K-12 schools in Wisconsin, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Maryland and Virginia. South Carolina funded a statewide deployment and contracted a single vendor to map every public K-12 school, completed in early 2026 — so that market is served, and we say so rather than quoting into it. Kentucky's School Mapping Data Program under SB 2 covers public, private and charter schools. New Hampshire has appropriated $2.6 million.
What every one of those programs runs on is the same thing: accurate, site-verified floor plans, labeled and gridded so a responder and a dispatcher are looking at the same reference.
We are not a mapping platform, and we won't pretend to compete with one. Platforms hold the state contracts and the dispatch integrations. What they need underneath is verified on-site floor plan data. That's the layer we produce — for the platform, for the district, or for whoever holds the procurement.
The data layer under the map.
Verified floor plans
Measured on site, not traced from an as-built set nobody has opened since the last addition. DWG and PDF, on a consistent standard across every building on the campus.
Room and door labeling
Captured against your room numbering, so the plan matches the sign on the door and the schedule in the office.
Interior walkthrough
A browser-based walkthrough responders can review before an incident and use for training and familiarization after hours.
Fire pre-incident planning
Building data for NFPA 1620 pre-plans and the platforms departments run them on — hydrant and utility locations, access, stairwells, roof structure.
Multi-building consistency
A district with 22 campuses gets 22 sets built the same way, not 22 inherited conventions.
Re-capture after changes
Portables move. Additions open. A mapping file that's three renovations stale is worse than none, because people trust it.
Somebody usually has money for this.
Where mapping is mandated, funding is typically attached — statewide contracts, state appropriations, or dedicated school safety grants. Where it isn't mandated yet, districts commonly fund it through general school safety grants or as part of an emergency operations plan refresh.
Arizona note: the state's School Safety Program funds personnel — resource officers, counselors, social workers — rather than facility mapping. Arizona districts that want this generally fund it through other safety grants or capital. If you're an Arizona district, ask us, and we'll tell you honestly what we've seen work.
What districts and departments ask.
Do you replace our mapping provider?
No. We produce the verified floor plan data your provider builds on. If you already have a platform, we work to their specification. If you're procuring one, having accurate base plans first usually lowers what the platform quotes.
Can you work while school is in session?
We prefer breaks, summers and after hours — it's faster and produces a cleaner record. Capture is about fifteen minutes per space and roughly half an hour on site for a standard interior, so working around a bell schedule is realistic when it has to be.
What about student privacy?
We schedule outside occupied hours wherever possible. Any capture that includes identifiable persons is reshot or the images are removed. Say it in the scope and we'll hold to it.
Do you handle background checks and fingerprint clearance?
Yes. Send your district's requirements with the scope.
How does this work for fire pre-plans?
Same capture, different output. Departments running FlowMSP, APX, Esri or similar need building data those platforms can consume — we produce the floor plans and walkthrough and deliver in the format the department specifies.
Can this be funded by a grant?
Frequently, and requirements vary by state and program. We can't write your grant, but we can provide the scope, specification and quote language that grant applications generally ask for.
What we actually deliver here
The services this work is usually scoped as: verified floor plans for emergency response, as-built drawings of each building and measured square footage. Everything comes off one capture of the building, and all of it is priced publicly — you can price your own project without talking to us first.
