In response to requests from emergency managers in communities who want WebEOC power and reliability, but are limited by staff and budget, ESi has just released WebEOC® Town Square™, an incident and event management solution for the majority of U.S. cities, towns, counties, and other organizations.  

"WebEOC Town Square delivers the famous WebEOC power, performance, and reliability at a price most communities can afford," said Nadia Butler, ESi President and CEO.  "Built on the battle-tested WebEOC Professional platform, this tool gives local emergency managers real-time information so they can make sound decisions in emergencies and in day-to-day operations."

Priced at $19,999, WebEOC Town Square comes packaged with a set of 16 status boards, including activity logs, incident action plans, situation reports, damage assessments, resource requests/task assignments, plus standard ICS and FEMA forms.  The WebEOC Town Square license provides for up to 50 named users to log in at the same time.  It also includes WebEOC Mapper Lite, which provides quick and easy mapping in WebEOC, including built-in street and satellite maps and address location.

"This is the first time that such a powerful emergency management tool has been available at this price level," said Brad Pond, ESi V.P. for Customer and Corporate Performance.  "Like all WebEOC products, Town Square is web-enabled, but you're not dependent on an Internet connection to manage a local event.  In the event of a 'comm-out' situation and loss of the Internet, Town Square running on your emergency power will keep your EOC operational."

Emergency managers who don't have the support of an IT department will find that WebEOC Town Square is easy to implement.  Customers can download and install the software from the ESi website and begin entering local data in minutes.  To make the installation even easier, solutions are offered that include WebEOC Town Square pre-loaded on affordable Dell® server hardware.

Every Monday, certified WebEOC instructors at ESi University will offer new customers WebEOC Town Square training through an online virtual classroom at no additional charge.  They can simply reserve a date and time that fits their schedule.
