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