August 27, 2026
Miami, FL – August 27, 2026 – XSponse, a leader in emergency communications and response technology, today announced a technology integration with Critical Response Group (CRG), the developer of Collaborative Response Graphics® (CRGs®), bringing standardized location intelligence directly into the XSponse platform to help organizations improve emergency preparedness, coordination, and response.
The integration embeds CRG’s industry-leading emergency response maps within the XSponse ecosystem, providing security teams, school administrators, incident commanders, and first responders with immediate access to detailed building intelligence alongside real-time alerts, communications, and incident information. By connecting accurate and verified location data with emergency communications, organizations gain a shared operational picture that supports faster decision-making and more coordinated response efforts.
Whether responding to incidents in schools, healthcare facilities, corporate campuses, or critical infrastructure, users can view building layouts, entry points, key assets, and other critical building information within the same environment used to manage emergency communications, eliminating information gaps and improving coordination from the initial alert through incident resolution.
“Our customers need more than emergency notifications; they need connected intelligence that helps security teams, administrators, and first responders work from the same information in real time,” said Lee Mandel, Chief Executive Officer of XSponse. “Integrating CRG’s trusted emergency response maps into the XSponse platform strengthens that shared operational picture, helping organizations make more informed decisions before, during, and after an emergency.”
