AI summary

A data communication network includes data communication nodes, imaging devices, and an information handling system. The nodes establish data connections with user equipment devices. The imaging devices provide image information for a coverage area of the network. The information handling system synthesizes a 3D map of the coverage area based upon the image information, determines that a first region of the 3D map is an inactive region of an emergency response incident and determines that a second region of the 3D map is an active region of the emergency response incident based on the image information, and directs a group of user equipment devices to the inactive region.
