Abstract: Systems and methods may enable first incident responder management and support. System and methods enabled by software may utilize communications networks and location based systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate the incident and response units, and to relay and share critical incident management information for use by other emergency response operators associated with an emergency scene. Maps and icons may be accessed and utilized over devices in the field. Software modules enable a system operator to use maps and a selection of user interface objects such as custom icons symbolizing a list of responders (police, fire, rescue, military) called forward and may designate specific geographic positions for managing a crisis.
