Response Halo

Response Halo is a Dynamic Cover Management Tool. It supports the emergency services to manage the cover provided in line with their overarching risk methodologies. For example, Fire and Rescue Services can

Identify gaps in coverage
improve routine decision making around standby moves
Support decision making in abnormal conditions, such as
- Industrial action
- Major incident
- Staff non-availability

Response Halo links to operational systems to provide a live picture of current appliance status. Drive time rings (or ‘halos’) around each appliance show how far they can travel within specified times allowing for expected mobilising times. A calculation is updated dynamically showing how much ‘risk’ is covered within these times.

Benefits

Response Halo enables effective dynamic cover management providing the following benefits:

Reduces unnecessary standby moves, reducing call out costs and improving employee welfare
Improves timeliness of response to those areas with highest risk
Enables replay of previous circumstances for training and learning purposes
