Technology Description

RESPONSEnet™ is a scalable, modular, software database that enables first responders and client personnel to securely access via web, pre-determined tactical response plans and coordinate on-site Incident Command System activities to respond to emergency incidents including terrorist attacks, as well as natural disasters, fires, utility breaks and leaks, and hazardous material spills. The system allows police, fire, and other first responders to instantly access more than 325 data points for any structure, including tactical/emergency response plans, evacuation routes, satellite and oblique aerial imagery, exterior and interior photos, floor plans, utility shut-off locations, hazardous substance inventories, 360 degree virtual environments and more. It also provides the client with access to various emergency management plans, documents, protocols and other data to assist the client in responding to an emergency incident.

RESPONSEnet™ works by creating a system of databases, which are then populated with information relevant to the end user. The end user/s are able to access the information in the data base as needed, and the database is designed to easily and securely be modified and updated by client administrators. The system also includes several modular elements that enhance the functionality of the system.

The RESPONSEnet™ technology has been created with the input of Law Enforcement, military, and Fire and Emergency planning professionals to specifically address the needs of first responders’ and on-site personnel.
