Abstract: A computer-based method of collecting, organizing, and distributing data related to an emergency event includes presenting a GUI on a mobile electronic device that includes a selectable element to provide information about a disaster event, and a selectable element to provide information about a violence event. In response to a selection, another GUI is presented that includes at least one pre-defined field for user input that is customized to the selected element. Information about the emergency incident is collected and sent to a server where it is stored in a database with other information about the event. The server retrieves information from the database and sends it to a second electronic device. A first portion of the information is displayed in a first format on the second electronic device, and a second portion of the information is displayed in a second format.
