Enhancing Crisis Management: The Role of Record Management in Emergency Incidents
Effective Record Management: A Lifeline During Crises
In the high-stakes world of crisis and emergency management, effective record management is not just important—it’s life-saving. Accurate and up-to-date records enable emergency responders to make informed decisions quickly, ensuring that resources are deployed efficiently and lives are safeguarded. Recognizing this critical need, Resolve Emergency Management has developed CrisisCommand, a versatile app designed to revolutionize the way emergency responders manage and share information.
Why Accurate Records Matter
During emergencies, seconds count. The ability to access and share real-time, accurate data can mean the difference between a swift, coordinated response and a delayed, fragmented effort. Emergency Services Officers (ESOs) and Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) must work together seamlessly, relying on centralised, reliable information to maintain situational awareness.
This is where CrisisCommand comes in, offering powerful features that streamline communication and data management, ensuring all team members are aligned and equipped to respond effectively.
CrisisCommand: Two Flexible Versions
CrisisCommand is available in two configurations—a stand-alone version and a connected version. Both are tailored to meet the needs of emergency management professionals, whether operating independently or as part of a broader organizational network.
Stand-Alone Version
The stand-alone version of CrisisCommand is perfect for professionals or small teams who need a reliable, offline solution. Key features include:
Immutable Text Records: Users can log critical decisions and observations, with entries locked for audit compliance.
Photo Logging with Metadata: Capture images with embedded GPS coordinates, timestamps (in UTC), and contextual notes to create a visual record of incidents.
Personalized User Profiles: Set up profiles that include Full Name, Agency Name, Rank/Position, and Service Number.
Incident Management: Record and update incident numbers for clear categorization and tracking.
Day and Night Modes: Choose between bright, sunlight-friendly visuals or a night mode with military green text for low-light conditions.
This version is self-contained, making it ideal for field professionals who operate in remote areas or environments with limited connectivity. Data remains secure and accessible on the user’s device, ensuring uninterrupted functionality.
Connected Version
The connected version takes CrisisCommand to the next level by enabling real-time information sharing across teams and organizations. Designed for larger entities like DFES, CFA, NSWRFS, Rio Tinto, and BHP, this version includes all the features of the stand-alone app, plus:
Cloud Integration: Store and synchronize records across devices, ensuring all team members access the latest information.
Secure Sharing: Share incident numbers with authorized users via a passcode-protected system, maintaining data confidentiality.
Collaborative Updates: Teams can collaboratively update incident records, ensuring a unified response.
PDF Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports for debriefs and audits, streamlining post-incident analysis.
Voice-to-Text: Speed up data entry by dictating notes directly into the app.
With the connected version, organizations can centralize all incident data, minimizing miscommunication and enabling faster response times. Teams can coordinate their efforts efficiently, ensuring no resource is wasted and every action is aligned with the mission to protect lives and property.
Enhancing Safety and Coordination
For organizations operating in high-risk environments, situational awareness is non-negotiable. CrisisCommand’s features are specifically designed to support comprehensive situational awareness, ensuring responders and decision-makers have the tools they need to act with precision.
By centralizing incident information and providing real-time sharing capabilities, the app ensures that all team members operate from a single source of truth. This reduces the risk of errors caused by outdated or incomplete information, enabling a coordinated and effective response.

CrisisCommand is a game-changer for a wide range of industries and organisations, including:
Emergency Services: Agencies like DFES, CFA, and NSWRFS can streamline their response processes and maintain audit compliance.
