Abstract
The disclosed system, method, and apparatus accesses a secure database containing information needed for minimizing injury, saving lives, and protecting property. Included in the secure database is information on hazardous materials.
Upon the receipt of a call for help, emergency response personnel use a communication device to obtain sufficient information for the selection of protective clothing and equipment. Further use of the communication device will provide information on the dangers associated with identified hazardous materials.
In an alternate embodiment, the information stored in the secure database includes information on the location of children, the infirm, the elderly, pets or livestock.
In a still further alternate embodiment the information in the secure database is used for the submission of pre-incident information or post-incident reports.
In a still further alternate embodiment, the information in the secure database is used for analysis and discovering correlations or trends associated with the collected data.
