Emergency Response
Respond to the structure itself.
PIID™ gives emergency management, public safety, disaster response, and recovery systems a persistent identity for the physical structure before, during, and after an event.
Emergency Response
One persistent structure identity across preparedness, response, assessment, recovery, and resilience.
PIID™ gives emergency management, public safety, disaster response, and recovery systems a persistent identity for the physical structure before, during, and after an event.
The response identity problem
When conditions change, the identity of the structure should not.
Emergency operations rely on addresses, parcels, coordinates, incident locations, GIS objects, dispatch records, inspection records, damage assessments, and agency specific identifiers.
Each serves an operational purpose.
None is designed to remain permanently attached to the physical structure across every phase of an event.
Addresses may identify a property rather than an individual structure.
A parcel may contain multiple buildings.
Coordinates may represent a point rather than the asset itself.
Different agencies may reference the same structure differently.
Systems may change between planning, response, and recovery.
The physical structure remains.
Without persistent structure identity, responders and supporting systems may repeatedly reconcile the same physical asset across records, agencies, and operational phases.
- Address
- Dispatch
- GIS
- Incident no.
PIID Resolve™
Resolve the physical structure behind the incident reference.
PIID Resolve™ identifies, validates, and resolves physical structures to persistent infrastructure identities.
Addresses, parcels, coordinates, geometry, and supported source records can resolve to the same physical structure through PIID™, giving emergency systems a consistent reference across agencies, datasets, planning environments, and response workflows.
Persistent identity can reduce ambiguity, duplicate records, and matching errors while maintaining continuity as information moves between systems and organizations.
Know which structure is being referenced. Persistently.
PIID Resolve™Built for emergency workflows
One structure identity across the event lifecycle.
Preparedness
Establish persistent structure references before an event occurs.
Emergency Planning
Connect planning information, infrastructure context, and supported operational records to the physical structures involved.
Catastrophe Modeling
Maintain consistent structure identity across scenario analysis, exposure modeling, planning, and preparedness workflows.
Dispatch and Response
Provide supported systems with a persistent reference to the physical structure associated with the response location.
GIS and Situational Awareness
Connect persistent structure identity with identity resolved building geometry and existing spatial environments.
Damage Assessment
Maintain a consistent reference between the structure, its geometry, assessment records, imagery, inspections, and supporting information.
Recovery
Connect recovery activity, inspections, repairs, assistance records, and supporting documentation to the same physical structure through time.
Resilience Planning
Maintain structure continuity across preparedness, mitigation, capital planning, and long term resilience programs.
Multi structure locations
One address may represent many structures.
Campuses, commercial properties, industrial sites, institutional facilities, and residential parcels can contain multiple qualifying structures.
An address may identify the location.
A parcel may identify the land.
Neither necessarily tells a response system which physical structure is involved.
PIID™ provides each qualifying structure with its own persistent identity.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ can document the qualifying structure inventory associated with the property.
Move from location level approximation to structure level clarity.
UMIP Structure Schedule™
Know what structures exist before the event begins.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ creates a documented inventory of every qualifying structure on a property, identifying each structure through its PIID™, location, and relationship to the parcel.
For emergency planning, preparedness, institutional facilities, campuses, and complex properties, Structure Schedule™ can provide clearer visibility into exactly which structures exist and where they are located.
One property. Every qualifying structure. Clearly identified.

In development
Before, during, and after
Identity should persist through the entire event.
Before an event, planning systems may reference buildings one way.
During response, incident systems may use another reference.
After the event, inspection, damage assessment, insurance, recovery, and reconstruction workflows may introduce additional records and identifiers.
PIID™ provides a persistent structure identity that can remain consistent across each phase.
The event changes. The structure identity persists.
Cross agency interoperability
Different organizations.Same physical structure.
Emergency management may reference an incident location.
Public safety may reference an address.
GIS may reference geometry.
Government records may reference a parcel.
Utilities may reference a service location.
Insurers may reference a policy.
Recovery systems may create another record.
PIID™ gives supported systems a persistent way to reference the same physical structure without requiring each organization to abandon its existing identifiers.
Identity becomes the connection point across the response ecosystem.
Catastrophe and risk context
Connect exposure and response to the same physical asset.
Catastrophe modeling, preparedness, emergency response, damage assessment, and recovery all depend on understanding which physical assets are exposed or affected.
PIID™ provides persistent structure identity.
Together, they provide a consistent structure reference around which supported risk, event, spatial, and operational information can coordinate.
One physical structure from modeled exposure through recovery.
Enterprise delivery
Built for emergency technology environments.
PIID Resolve™ is delivered through enterprise APIs using structured JSON responses.
Technical teams can integrate persistent structure identity and identity resolved geometry into GIS environments, emergency management applications, public safety systems, planning platforms, catastrophe modeling workflows, assessment tools, analytics environments, and other supported operational systems.
API delivered. Machine readable. Built for integration at scale.
Data control
Existing systems remain in place.
PIID™ provides a persistent identity reference across existing emergency management, public safety, government, GIS, and response environments.
It does not require agencies, organizations, or technology providers to replace their existing systems, databases, or identifiers.
Existing systems retain their role. PIID™ provides continuity at the physical structure level.
Governed by GIIS™
Persistent identity requires consistent rules.
GIIS™ establishes the governance framework for assigning, resolving, referencing, and maintaining persistent infrastructure identity across systems and organizations.
That consistency allows the structure reference to remain stable as agencies, systems, operating conditions, and response phases change.
At scale
Persistent structure identity for emergency operations.
