Risk mapping system
First Claim
1. A risk mapping system for use in crisis management comprising a database having a plurality of risk maps stored thereon, hazard data associated with each risk map stored on the database, means to access the database and select a particular risk map and associated hazard data, and means to display said selected risk map and associated hazard data characterised in that:
- a plurality of the risk maps stored on the database are three-dimensional graphical representations of specific locations and in which, for each location having a three-dimensional risk map, there are provided a plurality of three dimensional risk maps from different aspects of that location.

Abstract
A risk mapping system (1) for use in crises management comprises a database (2) having a plurality of risk maps and hazard data associated with each risk map stored thereon. The database is accessible by one or more of personal computers (3), laptops (4) and hand held devices (5) by way of communication channels (6). The risk maps stored on the database comprise three dimensional graphical representations of specific locations and for each specific location having a three dimensional graphical representation there are provided a plurality of three dimensional, graphical representations from different aspects of that location. The hazard data is represented by way of a hazard icon superimposed on the risk map.

29. A method of generating a risk mapping system comprising the steps:
- converting the architectural plans of a specific location into computer readable format;
forming a three dimensional schematic representation of the specific location;
collecting hazard data for the specific location;
generating hazard icons for each piece of hazard data and further generating hazard control information associated with each hazard icon;
superimposing the hazard icons generated for the hazard data of the specific location onto the three dimensional schematic representation of the specific location; and
storing said schematic representations with hazard icons superimposed thereon in a database. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
