  • Method and system for data aggregation for real-time emergency resource management
    Patent number: 8428961
    Abstract: A system and method for providing information about resource availability, especially during an emergency such as a natural disaster, is herein proposed. The system stores resource information about multiple facilities, across cities, counties, states and even countries. Such information can be provided to designated users based on specified access levels for the user and the resource information. Further, the system is able to exchange the resource availability information with external systems and databases. The resource information is also automatically updated to reflect the most current information. The system is useful in directing resources to participate in an emergency. Further the system aggregates resource information based on one or more attributes, such as region, hospital, city, state, etcetera, that is associated with the resource information.
