A system on interactive tracking and inventorying of incident response
equipment and associated methods is provided. The system and methods
enable command centers to determine the geographic location of all
available emergency response equipment that are capable of responding to
an incident. The systems and methods allow the inventory to be updated as
equipment and personnel are spent during the course of the incident. The
location of the equipment and personnel can be viewed on a topography map,
as well as an aerial map, to enable the incident command to determine the
atmospheric surroundings of each piece of equipment. The maps can be
superimposed so that more than one type of map data can be viewed
simultaneously.
