"After seeing D4H in Canterbury we decided to go with D4H. It’s great to be building that consistency across the South Island of New Zealand, so when we go to help in other places we are using the same tool."
"The map pin color coding in D4H was very beneficial. As we zoomed out and clustered pins together, we were given a snapshot of the number of affected structures in each area or community."
"It’s been a godsend from the standpoint of having oversight and providing good documentation."
"D4H enabled us to do RDAs so quickly that members were spending 30 or 45 seconds per home and that information was being displayed in real-time at the Emergency Operations Center at the city."
"D4H is quick and easy to use, it gets me easily to the info I need."
"The trial period that we had with D4H was exceptional. We had viewed numerous other incident command softwares, we did a test run and came out with the best of all of the solutions out there."
"The most important feature of D4H for us is the ability to customize it ourselves in real-time."
“D4H worked amazingly well – the staff were overwhelmingly positive about the product and found it very intuitive and useful. It has considerably improved situational awareness within our EOC and I believe it has also helped to achieve our objectives, by maintaining focus and tracking tasks better during the operation. Some of the staff on the operation had not even attended the one-hour familiarization session, but were given a login and a few tips and were using the system within a few minutes. Our partner agencies, emergency services, and political leaders have also been very impressed with the live SITREP we were able to share, and with our overall situational awareness in the EOC.”
