New Command Overview for Emergency Operations with PlanView Sliding Whiteboard Multi-Track Systems
June 14, 2011Macedon, NY – June 2011 – Magnatag’s PlanView multiple track cabinets hold up to 10 sliding magnetic steel whiteboards, maps and bulletin panels, turning an ordinary wall into a flexible, easy to use visible Emergency Information Center. A Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue operation says, “Our PlanView boards give us an overview. They hold all the relevant details about the subject and search plan. Before, we kept everything on paper making it hard for multiple people to read and update.

We slide the boards out for briefings and use the front panel to cover sensitive information. It’s nice to be able to put our own maps on the boards and change them when we want. The fact that it can be moved is important if we ever have to change facilities.”
