Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

TAG is designed to allow first responders and others to turn their phone into an identity. At an incident scene, TAG may create a Quick Response Code (QR Code) which can be read into existing Salamander emergency management software ensuring interoperability at any incident employing Salamander Intelligent Accountability™ products nationwide. TAG users with a SalamanderLive™ account may electronically join an in progress incident or event submitting their responder record to the acting incident commander to begin accountability tracking. Users with a SalamanderLive™ account will have the capability to download the following first responder information: rank/title, organization affiliation, National Incident Management System (NIMS) qualifications, and baseline medical information. Additionally, search and download other responder and equipment information as needed from SalamanderLive™ to form crews or teams. A SalamanderLive™ account is purchased separately and validates the responder information by providing a secure token to be downloaded into the smartphone. This ensures that the responder’s organization, rank, and qualifications are secure, current and up to date. TAG users without a SalamanderLive™ account may still create an identity from the following information: first name, last name, phone number and e-mail. The user can then collect the identities of other users to form a crew. The individual identity or the crew/team information can then be collected by other Salamander software applications for use at an incident. To learn more about this and the other great Salamander Intelligent Accountability™ incident management products please visit www.salamanderlive.com or call (877) 430-5171.
