System and method for management of resources in emergency situations
First Claim
1. A method of defining, managing and executing emergency response plans, comprising the steps of:
- storing profile information in a memory of a computing device, wherein the profile information includes personnel information;
storing message information in the memory;
defining one or more emergency response plans, each response plan definition comprising the step of creating one or more events, each event including at least one action correlated to personnel associated with the personnel information;
providing a user interface for the selection of one of the emergency response plans for execution; and
executing a selected emergency response plan, wherein the execution of the plan comprises the steps of;
executing the one or more events associated with the selected emergency response plan;
displaying an execution command center corresponding to the selected emergency response plan; and
displaying status information corresponding to the executed events.

Abstract
Provided is a method for designing, managing and executing emergency response plans. Specific plan and resources are defined and a defined plan is executed either automatically or manually according to pre-determined or “real-time” parameter definitions. An executed plan notifies, by various user-defined means, actively or pre-defined parties in a near simultaneous fashion of security communications, notifications, directives and/or information. One embodiment of the system includes a component that requires a notified party to acknowledge a particular notification event by responding with a personal identification number (PIN) or calling a specified telephone number and entering the PIN. The system enables parties to be organized into groups based upon member profiles. Individual parties can be assigned to sub-groups, enabling specifically designed communications to go to the parties of any particular sub-group. Alternative means of contact can be prioritized and utilized either simultaneously or sequentially until contact with a particular party is achieved.
