DEVICE FOR RECORDING AND COMMUNICATING CRISIS INCIDENTS

摘要

A recording capability for modules (60) utilized by first responders and other personal within the area of an incident, with the stored information at each of the first responders' modules (60) being read out through an ad hoc network (62), where it can be uploaded to storage. The stored information can be displayed at an incident commander work station (321) in real time to give the incident commander a realistic view of the timeline and the severity of the incident, as well as the response. The ad hoc network (62) permits offloading stored information from each of the first responders' modules (60) so as to free up storage within the modules (60). By providing storage at every node of the ad hoc network (62), one has access to a timeline of the action at the incident as well as redundancy, which enhances the memories and observational skills of the first responders.
