Abstract: A smart phone app system for use by emergency responders, includes a server for processing and sending an alert signal indicating details of an emergency event to be displayed on an emergency responder's smart phone or other device and displaying input buttons for allowing the emergency responder to provide a response signal indicating that they are responding or they are not responding by touching one of the input buttons. A map to the station or emergency site can be automatically displayed on the emergency responder's smart phone or other device and a list of other responders can be displayed with direct text or other communication being available to the other responders with a simple press of a button. The app system greatly improves the response time and efficiency for responding to an emergency event.
