Abstract: A system and method for providing a wireless emergency management application that facilitates the identification of persons who have various skills and/or training, thereby allowing the best available person to respond to an emergency or non-emergency situation. Still further, the instant system and method can track the location of specialized equipment, thereby allowing the equipment to be more readily employed when needed. The instant system and method can also wirelessly distribute EAP-related information, such as, without limitation, a role definition and a checklist to be followed in performing the tasks associated with that role, for each responder in a particular emergency response. As the responder responds to the emergency, his or her responses can be transmitted back to a centralized server for dissemination to and coordination with other users.
