OnSite ERT is great for mutual- aid incidents:
The task of tracking your resources (personnel & equipment) while on the scene of an emergency is a daunting one. The safety and the lives of your personnel depend on you knowing where they are at throughout an entire event. NIOSH Line-Of-Duty death reports alarmingly list “failure to maintain personnel accountability” as a contributing factor (to the death) in a majority of their investigations.
Now, take this difficult task and magnify it three, four, or five times as you call for mutual-aid or regional assistance.
The OnSite ERT solution provides you with AUTOMATIC tracking of your resources, while you attend to your size up, strategy and tactics, and operational decision-making. As you perform these critical tasks, your resources are being tracked. Tracked AUTOMATICALLY as they move about the scene.
Now, take all of the incoming mutual-aid companies, or regional units that are responding and envision each of them having their own unique wireless ID tag. Even equipment can be outfitted with a tag. Perhaps they own an OnSite ERT system as well and have brought in additional drop readers. The OnSite ERT solution is set up and you have a drop reader in the Staging Area that you have instructed to be set up. As equipment and personnel arrive into the Staging Area, they are detected AUTOMATICALLY and shown in the software. As you deploy resources, the personnel are being detected AUTOMATICALLY by drop readers that are set up in the hot zone, monitoring different sectors (i.e.: Search, Suppression, Ventilation, Rehab, etc). As every responder moves around the scene, they are being tracked and moved in the software application AUTOMATICALLY. You are extremely busy, almost to the point of being overwhelmed; but your personnel are safely being tracked…thanks to OnSite ERT.
All that is required to track mutual-aid and regional resources is that the personnel (and/or equipment) need to have a wireless ID tag, and the mutual-aid departments need to share their databases. It’s that SIMPLE.
