In disaster management, the emergency response commanded from the Command and Control center can make the difference for a faster and safer outcome. Novel sensing tools provide new capabilities to monitor and evaluate what happens in real time with location information of first responders and casualties being a key resource. Therefore, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are essential when representing the Common Operational Picture to have a complete understanding of the situation in the field, obtained through big amounts of real-time data coming from multiple sources, and therefore support decision making. Moreover, the 3-dimensional representation of the terrain and buildings enhance the classical 2D map representation. In this work, a detailed overview of the architecture components and functionalities developed for a data-driven emergency response 3D web GIS application is described. In addition, a quantitative evaluation of how the number of location records collected from various numbers of first responders impacts the performance of some geospatial tasks needed for an efficient visual representation is provided, depending on the data measurement frequency.
