System and method for accountability by interlinking electronic identities for access control and tracking of personnel during an incident or at an emergency scene

摘要

An incident management system includes some form of portable machine-readable data and a collector unit and optionally a manager unit for receiving the machine-readable data where one or all of the portable machine-readable data, the collector unit or the manager unit is provided in the form of a cell-enabled device. The portable machine-readable data may include identification information of a person or a resource/asset. By providing the portable machine-readable data in the form of cell-enabled devices each having a GPS unit, the location of the responders to the incident may be tracked in real time.

主权项

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium for use in an identification collector unit of an incident management system for managing emergency responders arriving at a scene of an incident, the identification collector unit including a processor and a communication interface under control of the processor, said machine-readable medium being encoded with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute the steps comprising:
controlling the communication interface to collect identification information from a plurality of cell-enabled devices as responders report to the scene of the incident; in response to receiving the identification information, accessing qualification information for each responder that identifies the qualifications of the responder associated therewith; and at least one of (a) determining if a reporting responder is allowed access to the incident scene and (b) assigning a task to the reporting responder, based upon their qualifications.
