Abstract

A system and method displays real-time incidents and resources on a map and/or in a report to enable incident commanders to view and allocate resources accordingly.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

displaying a map with an incident thereon;

determining resources within map boundaries;

determining status of the resources; and

displaying the resources with status on the map.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining personnel within map boundaries;

determining status of the personnel; and

displaying the personnel with status on the map.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

continuously updating the status of the determined resources; and

displaying the resources with updated status on the map when there is a change in status.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining if a notification should be sent based on the incident; and

transmitting the notification based on the determining if a notification should be sent.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a report in tabular format listing an incident and resources dispatched to the incident.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining resources assigned to an incident; and

indicating on the map the assignments of the displayed resources.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying virtual views related to an incident.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the resources includes personnel stations and equipment.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the mission engine is further for continuously updating the status of the determined resources;

and

wherein the GUI is further for displaying the resources with updated status on the map when there is a change in status.

9. A system, comprising:

means for displaying a map with an incident thereon;

means for determining resources within map boundaries;

means for determining status of the resources; and

means for displaying the resources with status on the map.

10. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions to cause a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

displaying a map with an incident thereon;

determining resources within map boundaries;

determining status of the resources; and

displaying the resources with status on the map.

11. A system, comprising:

a resource engine for determining resources within boundaries of a map;

a mission engine for determining status of the resources; and

a GUI for displaying the map with an incident thereon and for displaying the resources with status on the map.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a personnel engine for determining personnel within map boundaries;

wherein the mission engine is further for determining status of the personnel; and

wherein the GUI is further for displaying the personnel with status on the map.

14. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a notification engine for determining if a notification should be sent based on the incident and transmitting the notification based on the determining if a notification should be sent.

15. The system of claim 11, further comprising a report engine for generating a report in tabular format listing an incident and resources dispatched to the incident.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the mission engine is further for determining resources assigned to an incident;

and wherein the GUI is further for indicating on the map the assignments of the displayed resources.

17. The system of claim 11, further comprising a profile engine for displaying virtual views related to an incident.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the resources includes personnel stations and equipment.
