About company

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are developing future work environments for the emergency management community called Precision Information Environments (or PIEs). PIEs will provide tailored access to information and decision support capabilities in a system that supports the multiple user roles, contexts, and phases of emergency management, planning, and response. A PIE will provide its capabilities through novel interactive interfaces that transform the way stakeholders – from first responders to policy makers to the public – engage with each other and with information. These new approaches will result in multi-data type, multi-use environments based on a common hardware and software architecture.
