Mobile Risk AssessmentMobile Risk Assessment



Mobile Risk Assessment (MRA) collects survey and GPS information to produce detailed databases, maps and reports. The mobile application runs on a Windows Mobile 6 handheld computer (PDA) and automatically calculates risk scores in the field. The rich desktop component provides single-button transfer of the data to the database and standard or custom surveys and reports are available.

This application is designed for gathering information to assess the risk of various hazards to structures in a given area and/or inspect the assets used to combat those hazards. Mobile Risk Assessment is available now and can be deployed quickly with your choice of the Fire Risk, Quick Triage, Hydrant and/or Draft Source surveys! All examples shown on this page feature MRA running Fire Risk Survey on the mobile devices and Hydrant Survey on the desktop computers.
