1. A method comprising:
- electronically receiving device data transmitted from a remote measurement device;
determining an occurrence of an event based on the received device data and one or more event rules;
obtaining a plurality of remote measurement device parameters associated with the remote measurement device from a database containing a hierarchy of rule sets matching personnel data with remote measurement devices, physical resource data, notification states and access controls;
querying the hierarchy for at least one or more persons assigned to the remote measurement device or to a geographical proxy thereof and also having a notification state corresponding to the event;
electronically notifying information of the event to a communication device of the identified one or more persons; and
responding to an input from the assigned person via the communication device to provide at least one of the remote measurement device location and access control.

Abstract
A hierarchical data management tool and user interface that provides an efficient and effective means for an organization to organize both users and their access to a system consisting of a large number of remote sensing locations. Various levels of notifications for specified personnel allow the notified persons to respond to alerts in an efficient manner. Personnel can be hierarchically organized according to their qualifications and proximity to the sensing location/alert type.
