System and method for establishing an incident communications network
First Claim
1. A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions, execution of which by a processing device causes the processing device to perform operations for establishing an incident communications network comprising:
- determining an incident trigger;
determining communications resources to be marshalled into the incident communications network based on the incident trigger,wherein the incident communications network enables interoperable communications among communications resources controlled by multiple parties during an incident, wherein each communications resource is controlled by an administrator within an organization or an individual; and
establishing the incident communications network among the communications resources to be marshalled into the incident communications network.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks. In an embodiment, the system includes an incident controller, a communications resource database that stores communications resources information and a marshalling rules module that stores a set of marshalling rules. A marshalling rule identifies how to select the communications resources to be marshaled into the incident communications network based on an incident trigger. Upon receipt of an incident trigger, the incident controller is configured to establish the incident communications network by obtaining a marshalling rule based on the incident trigger. The incident controller marshals communications resources based on the marshalling rule and the communications resources determined to be available. Information sources can either provide an incident trigger (e.g., a hurricane warning) or provide data to be analyzed to determine an incident trigger. In an embodiment, an incident communications network includes one or more mobile interoperability workstation.
