FIER Decision Support Tool
Prepare. Respond. Recover.
A planning tool for crisis teams. It shows who does what, and when, around an incident such as a flood or a chemical leak.
We build it together with Veiligheidsregio Zeeland, the safety region of the Dutch province of Zeeland, as part of the Interreg North Sea project FIER.
One plan, one timeline
A plan starts from T0, the moment the incident happens. Planners pick actions from a catalogue, grouped in three phases: preparation, response and recovery. Every action has a start, a duration and a coordinating organisation, shown by colour.
- A catalogue per region. Phases, processes, actions and coordinators come from the region's own crisis plan.
- Share link and PDF. A read-only live view for people without an account, and a printable plan for the wall.
- Audit log. Every change is recorded, so a plan can be reconstructed afterwards.
- English and Dutch. Each user picks a language. The manual is built in.
What we did
Veiligheidsregio Zeeland brought the knowledge of crisis processes. We designed and built the software, from a first milestone in late 2025 to version 2 in October 2026, in short iterations with their crisis planners.
The tool is licensed under the EUPL 1.2, the open-source licence of the European Union, and comes with a self-hosting guide. A project partner can run its own copy with its own catalogue.
We host a demonstration version with fictional plans at fier.elementalhosting.eu. It sits behind a login. Send us an email if you would like to look around.
