The tool will improve life safety during events such as floods, coordinate response and support the rural areas such as Castle Rock and Buhl fire.
“Its visual display board that you open, you can write and you can put notes on it, you can do any kind of documentation," said Twin Falls County Emergency Coordinator Jackie Frey.

“They can write down what the incidents is, the players that are there, and they can write phone numbers,” Frey said.
