Why utilities choose DisasterLAN

One picture of the whole event

ESRI-based mapping pulls in live sensor feeds, cameras, weather and resource locations so your team sees the same map.

Know where your resources are

Track personnel, field vehicles and heavy equipment, plus requests and assignments, across multiple incidents at once.

Field data without a signal

The Mobile Responder app captures damage reports and GPS-tagged photos and video offline, then syncs automatically.

Reports that write themselves

Template-guided ICS Incident Action Plans and Situation Reports with approval workflows, digital signatures and version control.

Licensing that flexes with you

Pricing is bandwidth-based instead of per seat, so you can bring in extra staff and mutual aid crews during an event.

Secure, flexible deployment

Run DLAN cloud-hosted or on your own servers. BCG is an ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified provider.

Frequently asked questions

How is DisasterLAN priced for a utility?

Pricing is available on request. Licensing is bandwidth-based rather than per seat, so cost does not climb every time you add a user. Your quote covers the modules, deployment choice and support plan you select.

Can we host it on our own servers?

Yes. DLAN is available cloud-hosted or on-premise. BCG is an ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified provider and DLAN uses role-based access controls and audit trails.

Can it match our forms and workflows?

DLAN is modular and configurable to your agency structure, with custom dashboards, forms and workflows. BCG also offers custom engineering and integration services. If a requested customization helps other customers, it may be built at a reduced cost or no cost.

Will field crews be able to use it in damaged areas?

The Mobile Responder module captures data offline and syncs automatically when the connection returns, including GPS-tagged photos and video.

Do you provide training and support during a real event?

Yes. BCG offers role-based and scenario-based training, ICS training, system administration support, exercise support and onsite activation support with just-in-time training during large incidents.
