APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CRISIS SITUATIONS

A crisis management system having a crisis command center and multiple remote units. Information gathered by the remote units, or received at crisis command center, is input to a central computer designed to organize the information in various topic files. The information is tagged automatically with a time of entry and then organized chronologically in a selected file. The information is then utilized to update automatically any files related to the selected file. Next, the information is transmitted from the crisis command center to the remote units and input to the appropriate file in each remote computer. The transmitted information is used to update all related files located at the remote unit, thereby enabling all remote units to maintain up-to-date information pertaining to the crisis.
