Abstract

An online, interactive emergency response training system designed to facilitate the dissemination of safety preparedness information for natural and man-made emergencies, including, but not limited to: fire, earthquake, bomb, medical, and power failure is hereby disclosed. Additionally, various other methods of disseminating said safety preparedness information are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method of delivering building safety information comprising:

a. Identifying a suitable building where the deployment of building safety information can be done in an efficient, cost-effective manner;

b. Obtaining the emergency response plans;

c. Creating a customized emergency response presentation;

d. Delivering the presentation to building occupants;

e. Authenticating the users of the presentation;

f. Testing the user; and

g. Retaining the authentication data and test results.

2. The method of claim 1, step (a), where the suitable buildings are identified as Hi-rise Class A, Class B or Class C buildings.

3. The method of claim 1, step (a), where suitable buildings are identified as located in central business districts or suburban areas of major metropolitan cities.

4. The method of claim 1, step (a), where the suitable buildings are identified as having current telecommunications capabilities.

5. The method of claim 1, step (c), where the emergency response presentation is an audio-visual presentation.

6. The method of claim 5, where the audio-visual presentation is created as an interactive computerized multi-media presentation.

7. The method of claim 5, where the audio-visual presentation is created as non-interactive format.

8. The method of claim 1, step (d), where the presentation is deployed via the public Internet.

9. The method of claim 1, step (d), where the presentation is deployed over a private area network.

10. The method of claim 1, step (d), where the presentation is deployed on the customer'"'"'s server.

11. The method of claim 1, step (d), where the presentation is deployed using removable media.

12. The method of claim 1, step (e), where the testing occurs after completion of the presentation.

13. The method of claim 1, step (e), where the testing occurs online.

14. The method of claim 1, step (e), where the testing occurs via telephone.

15. A system for deploying emergency response preparedness information comprising:

a. At least one server configured to host the emergency safety response multi-media presentations

b. A network configured to transmit the emergency safety response multi-media presentations

c. At least one computer connected to said network.

16. The server of claim 15 where the server can run several multi-media presentations simultaneously.

17. The server of claim 15, where the server is configured to authenticate each user, wherein said authentication is used to determine which multi-media presentation is accessed.

18. The server of claim 15, wherein the server is configured to administer an emergency response preparedness test.

19. The server in claim 18, where the server is configured to store the results of each test.

20. The server in claim 19, where the server is configured to tabulate test results.

21. The network of claim 15, step (b), where the network is the public Internet.

22. The network of claim 15, step (b), where the network is a proprietary network.

23. The computer of claim 15, step (c), where the computer is configured have access to the network of claim 15, step (b).

24. The computer of claim 15, step (c), where the computer is located at the recipient'"'"'s place of business.

25. The computer of claim 15, step (c), where the computer is located in a public testing center.

26. The computer of claim 15, step (c), where the computer is located on the same private network as the server.

27. A revenue management system configured to track system usage comprising

a. A first module configured to track revenue generated from the creation of the emergency safety response presentation;

b. A second module configured to track revenue from client initiated changes to said presentation;

c. A third module configured to track system usage by clients;

d. A fourth module configured to track record keeping; and

e. A fifth module configured to summarize the record keeping information.
