How Intterra is Continuing to Engage Customers
Intterra remains focused on providing constant support to our client partners. Collaboration and innovation has always been a focal point within our organization. We’re committed to assisting client partners by providing COVID-related tools where it makes sense for clients and their operations. In some cases, Intterra’s Operations and Technical teams have been able to quick-turn custom reporting solutions, in others, data has been brought in from the local agency to display alongside the current picture of emergency events as they unfold. Another client partner leaned on Intterra to create a tactical coordination service to help first responders detect where special procedures need to be used when responding to a particular location. In all of these cases, we’re here to aid in our agencies’ local mission to keep their crews safe and informed.
“It is extremely valuable. While responding to a fire [during Covid-19], a dozer was ordered to put in a fireline. We were able to log into CoWIMS and show our District Resource exactly where the fire was. I was able to share my screen, and she was able to determine where the dozer could and couldn’t go virtually without having to physically be on scene.”
- Joe Sean Kennedy, District Resource Advisor, USFS; utilizing the State of Colorado’s Intterra system, led by the Division of Fire Prevention & Control
