web video and webinar that demonstrate how to establish a common operating picture among multiple organizations or individuals--at a fraction of the money, time and effort of current systems--using the latest features of Depiction mapping software. I would like to ask you to take a couple moments to watch the short web video "Two Minutes to Common Operating Picture" and, if you are interested, to attend a webinar I will be hosting tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27, "Achieving a Common Operating Picture," at 1 PM EST/10 AM PST. To register for the webinar, visit https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/316253377The video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK-7Ly2rAJwRecent exciting improvements have made Depiction an ideal Common Operating Picture platform, and I look forward to demonstrating to emergency managers how Depiction can help them overcome their challenges in sharing situational awareness with multiple individuals and agencies.

Traditional COP solutions are expensive, complex or web-only applications that leave you with nothing when the Internet is lost. Depiction is an easily implemented, technically innovative, desktop solution to the Common Operating Picture problem--and the cost of the software is so low that every entity involved should be able to afford multiple copies.The webinar will demonstrate how Depiction can be used: 1) to share information in real time to achieve a Common Operating Picture among multiple EOCs, 2) to facilitate multi-agency collaborative planning for events before they happen, 3) to maintain good situational awareness and a tactical display even when the Internet is down.
