Abstract
An incident management system includes some form of portable machine-readable data 12a-12c and a collector unit 20a and optionally a manager unit 25 for receiving the machine-readable data where one or all of the portable machine-readable data 12a-12c, the collector unit 20a or the manager unit 25 is provided in the form of a cell-enabled device 15a-15d. The portable machine-readable data 12a-12c may include identification information of a person or a resource/asset. By providing the portable machine-readable data 12a-12c in the form of cell-enabled devices 15a-15d each having a GPS unit 38, the location of the responders to the incident may be tracked in real time.
