City personnel and the University of Memphis used LiDAR and 3D cameras to scan seven downtown buildings. Interior maps of the National Civil Rights Museum, Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, and other facilities mark exits, stairs, and other features. A mobile GIS app available to first responders allows floor-by-floor reviews during emergency calls. Map901 helps police and fire teams create paths to imperiled residents or track active shooters.
