Abstract: A system on interactive tracking and inventorying of incident response equipment and associated methods is provided. The system and methods enable command centers to determine the geographic location of all available emergency response equipment that are capable of responding to an incident. The systems and methods allow the inventory to be updated as equipment and personnel are spent during the course of the incident. The location of the equipment and personnel can be viewed on a topography map, as well as an aerial map, to enable the incident command to determine the atmospheric surroundings of each piece of equipment. The maps can be superimposed so that more than one type of map data can be viewed simultaneously.

Abstract: A security and tracking system and associated methods for monitoring the location and status of vehicle activities. The system and methods enable users to determine the geographic location of a vehicle and the time period in which the vehicle is being operated. If the vehicle is being operated out of a specified geographic range or a specified time period, then the system alerts users to this information. The system and methods enable occupants within the vehicle to send an alarm to a user if assistance is needed. If the system has been tampered with or its power source is low, then a signal can be sent to a home base unit, which is used to monitor or track the vehicle, indicating the appropriate condition.
