Accountability at a single-alarm scene can be difficult enough, but it becomes a much bigger challenge when outside personnel and equipment are involved. Managing an event with mutual-aid and automatic-response partners brings a whole new level of confusion, and large scale disasters that bring in responders from more distant communities can lead to nothing short of
barely-controlled chaos.

OnSite ERT™ can be a critical tool in managing larger and regional events. Mutual aid and automatic response departments can share responder and equipment details automatically; new hires, shift changes, apparatus load-outs are always kept up-to-date and available when on scene. And OnSite ERT's Central Database keeps a copy of all wireless tag assignments, so any tag read in the field - whether it belongs to a nearby department or not - can be immediately associated with a photo and credentials.

OnSite ERT is also designed for expandability in the field: as the scene grows, responding departments have the option of deploying their system independently, or joining the existing
network under the first-on-scene's command. Accountability data can even be "exported", in real time, to a central EOC to keep remote command sites informed.
