Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP)
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) is a federal program administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Executive Office of the President, that provides resources to federal, state, local, and tribal agencies to coordinate activities addressing drug trafficking in more than 30 areas of the country. The Washington / Baltimore HIDTA developed ODMAP in the fall of 2016 and launched it as a pilot program in West Virginia and Maryland in January 2017. ODMAP is a mapping application tied to a database containing overdose incident information. W/B HIDTA provides no cost access to ODMAP to federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, other licensed first responders, criminal justice personnel, emergency room and hospital personnel, and other public health entities serving the interests of public safety and public health. The primary purposes of ODMAP include: (1) to provide near real-time surveillance of known or suspected overdose incidents across the United States and its territories; and (2) to support public safety and public health efforts to collaborate and mobilize immediate responses to a sudden increase or spike in overdose incidents. This fact sheet provides basic information about ODMAP. ...
