New Incident Dashboards

The Indiana Community Risk Reduction Coalition released two interactive dashboards designed for public safety agencies and the public to access fire and EMS incident data statewide. These incidents are shown on a map, and statistical figures are available at the state, district, county and local agency levels. Visit the Community Risk Reduction page for more information on how these dashboards fit into the larger picture of improving public safety.

Annual Report

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) leads Indiana's emergency planning and operations, first responder training and fire and building safety. The Division of Fire and Building Safety (within IDHS) oversees building code enforcement, fire investigations and hazmat and radiation programs. It also certifies and trains thousands of first responders each year. The Emergency Management and Preparedness Division works with local and national partners on emergency planning, preparedness and response, including the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), which leads response and coordination efforts for large-magnitude incidents. The agency also administers state- and federal-funded grant programs. Learn more about IDHS on the Agency Overview page.

Putting Public Safety Data to Use

Local fire departments and EMS providers regularly submit incident data to IDHS through the ImageTrend system. That information is compiled into reports by national entities, IDHS and others. These reports help spot trends that can drive changes in efforts from the national and state levels to the local level. The data from those reports is also made available to the local agencies and public through interactive dashboards, which show cases when agencies responded to an incident. These are mapped and incident counts are tabulated to help users gain a better understanding of first response activities on the local, county, district and state levels. Similarly, IDHS tracks fatalities that occur in residential settings in an interactive dashboard. Learn more about these dashboards and how they fit into the overall effort to reduce public safety risks on the Community Risk Reduction page.

Requests for data not presented on the IDHS website can be made on the Public Records Request page.
