How a tech platform helps communities and first responders work together during natural disasters

Bailey Farren is a five-time wildfire evacuee from California. Her parents are first responders who relied on radio communications and paper maps to coordinate during disasters.
Now she is on a mission to update disaster response communication between first responders on the ground and the general public.
“It’s something that I first came to because I’m from one of those communities that has been very impacted by natural disasters,” Farren said.
In 2018, she co-founded the mapping platform Perimeter, which allows first responders to share information in real time between each other and their communities during disasters and emergencies, or even during day-to-day operations and special events.
