Visual Risk Technologies provides a standard set of databases with all VRiskMAP™ projects.  The data is custom-produced for each specific jurisdiction and includes not only the immediate area but also surrounding areas.  In order to offer the user a detailed coverage of all critical facilities, lifelines, and infrastructure within the area, the data is derived from a variety of sources. All applicable databases include phone number information for contact and notification in the event of an emergency. 

In addition to the provided datasets,
VRiskMAP™ can also be used to display and query any existing ESRI shapefiles maintained by the local GIS department.  Using local data in conjunction with the VRisk data bundle allows the emergency planner to have access to the most detailed and up-to-date data available for the jurisdiction.  Also, by means of the VRiskMAP™ interface with Microsoft Access, any Access table with lat/long coordinates or a physical street address may be used to incorporate existing information into the mitigation plan.
