Why Scribble Maps for Public Safety

Pre-plans without a GIS team

Draw building footprints, hydrants, hazards and access points directly on satellite imagery. No CAD license, no enterprise stack.

Brief everyone on the same map

Share a link with command, mutual aid, EMS and city partners. They open it in a browser. No install, no account.

Bring data from any source

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or CSV. Hydrant inventories, beat boundaries, address point files. Style and re-share instantly.
