Abstract: People facing emergencies, such as disasters, may not receive external assistance in a timely manner, instead having to rely on themselves for critical or extended periods. A system including emergency response containers providing both for organizational structure, including a method of assigning roles to available individuals, and task domain knowledge for organizational elements, namely the people facing and experiencing the emergency, allows for organic emergency response and eases transition to and effectiveness of external professional emergency response providers. In some embodiments the system is modular and adjustable for different situations.

Abstract: A portable wireless system for providing a user with access to a computer-based system includes a BARB Badge to interface with the user's body, responsive to a disruption in the interface and including a transceiver to communicate with an external source, a BARB Base to detect a presence of said BARB Badge in a vicinity of said BARB Base and relay secure communications between said BARB Badge and said computer-based system; and an administrator subsystem to regulate interfacing operations of said BARB Badge and said computer-based system based on predetermined administrative protocols. In this way, the overall security of the computer-based system is enhanced while the amount of operational burdens associated with accessing the computer-based system are reduced.
