The role of incident management has become increasingly significant in modern public safety. Recognizing the most significant risk factors and minimizing them, knowing the resources available to you and determining your needs for higher levels of command structure is paramount for successful incident management.
Incident management software is a valuable tool to help in this process. Today’s incident management software systems replace the handheld clipboards, command action checklists and vehicle-equipped whiteboards of yesteryear. Secure, cloud-based systems supplement an incident command staff’s skills and experience with necessary steps in specifying objectives, consolidating information, creating a common operating picture, recognizing resources available and those still needed, and coordinating task management proficiently and effectually.
