FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Azure Wireless Introduces SafeScene, the
World’s First Fully Automatic Accountability System for First Responders
Emergency response, first
responder safety and incident management enhanced by RFID-based system
that provides unprecedented levels of accountability and replaces
existing manual census methods of identifying the presence of on-scene
personnel
ROCHESTER HILLS, Michigan – January 11,
2007 – Azure Wireless today introduced SafeScene, the world’s first
fully automatic accountability system for first responders. SafeScene
enhances first responder safety, assures reliable, error-proof,
automatic accountability and improves emergency response and incident
management through the innovative use of RFID technology, replacing the
manual means of accountability currently used in first responder
operations.
SafeScene automatically detects the
presence of fire, law enforcement and other emergency personnel at an
incident scene and logs first responder and equipment identities as
available for incident command and resource management in a Java-based,
Microsoft Windows-compatible application, from which resources are
assigned to tasks and monitored through the use of personnel
accountability (PAR) timers. SafeScene includes administrative
interfaces through which customization is easily achieved and
time-stamped reports detailing incident events.
With the ability to detect the presence
of first responders at adjustable ranges of up to several hundred feet,
SafeScene allows first responder agencies to allocate personnel to
incident response activities and enable incident command personnel to
more effectively and efficiently manage on-scene activities while
providing an enhanced level of safety for first responders. When
interfaced with third-party incident command management systems,
SafeScene can provide
these systems with automatic detection and logging of on-scene first
responders.
“SafeScene represents the application of
technology in operations where the manual collection of physical
identification tags has been the standard of achieving accountability
for many years. SafeScene will improve incident management, response
and first responder safety as a result of the automatic detection of
first responders, error-proofing the process and freeing time for first
responder and command personnel to respond to critical incidents,” said
John Polakowski, president of Azure Wireless.
