Emergency Management

In the face of a disaster, Emergency Managers have to pull together resources from a variety of agencies to try to bring calm to the chaos. The interTRAX Suite for Emergency Management can help.

Meeting the National Preparedness Goal for disasters is a daunting task. Part of this challenge is meeting the guidelines of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) - specifically accounting for all resources at site, expanding the response to an escalating situation, integrating mutual aid resources, and implementing integrated multi-agency coordination.

Salamander Technologies' accountability products under the interTRAX™ model are the first set of tools today to meet the NIMS challenge. The solution automates tracking of all responders, volunteers, and victims, scales to any size incident, and provides both on-scene incident management and off-scene monitoring at an EOC or trauma center.

First Responders on-scene can start tracking with a manual solution and scale up to a fully electronic solution that is monitored off-scene. Information can go from the ID tag to the web for remote viewing in seconds.

The foundation of the interTRAX solution is the tagging of everybody involved in an incident. Machine-readable tags can be made on-site for evacuees and victims. Standard triage tags and methods are used to expedite the operating procedures.

Unite all agencies with a common set of tools and practices for accountability, scene management, and access control.

The interTRAX Suite of Solutions offers an enhanced web component for off-scene monitoring by an EOC, trauma center, or a civil support agency as needed.

Solution components can be used by individual agencies that want to track people in any situation. Keep track of attendees at meetings, trainings, vaccinations, exercises, etc.
