Abstract
Arrangements for collecting, analyzing, consolidating and delivering consolidated and enhanced data from a plurality of sources relating to a current event, to a third party, and reserving the consolidated and enhanced data for internal use so as to create a commercial proactive emergency management and disaster response information system that can also be used for emergent commercial purposes. A data capture device associated with an individual or a location captures data related to a current event or affected site. Incoming data may include raw data, repackaged data, or value-added data from source inputs. Captured data is sent to a centralized command center or distributed command centers where it is analyzed, resolved, correlated and repackaged for use by other parties.
