First Responder

Federal incident managers, must comply with two powerful federal mandates when managing an incident, event, or other secure field site:

HSPD-12 requires federal workers to carry a secure smart-card for Personal Identify Verification – a so called “PIV Card” that should be verified to provide the participant or responder site access.

HSPD-5 requires you manage the incident per the National Incident Management System (NIMS) – including Resource Management - so you have situational awareness of who is at site, what are their qualifications, where are they assigned, and when did they arrive/depart/undergo a status check.  

Lowry understands the needs and concerns of individuals complying with this mandate, and has developed a suite of products to help Federal Incident Managers obtain total visibility.

InterTRAX PIV combines these two essential functions so you can verify identities, control site access, and manage resources throughout the incident with one application. interTRAX PIV provides real-world application and value to justify your investment in PIV cards.

The interTRAX suite consists of three system elements that build upon each other to provide a complete resource management solution – from the tag to the web. PIV functions have been integrated throughout this architecture to provide a seamless application.

IDENTIFICATION
The foundation of the interTRAX suite is its ability to create high-capacity, machine-readable ID cards and tags for agency personnel and equipment as well as site passes for mutual aid, site visitors, and evacuees. These standardized “auto ID” tags are essential for computerized incident management, site security, and personnel accountability. interTRAX is at the forefront of NIMS resource typing, identity verification, and auto ID technologies (barcode, RFID, smart card) to keep you compliant with emerging state and federal standards.

INCIDENT
The core of the interTRAX suite is on-scene, computerized incident management.  Functions include capturing data from machine-readable ID cards and tags, verifying a person’s identity, and tracking all personnel so you know who is at the site, what their qualifications are, where they are assigned, and when they arrived/departed/last had a status check. interTRAX can be used for a variety of incidents (fires, natural disasters, evacuations, field events, exercises, etc.) and in an interagency mode to track all types of personnel - responders, evacuees, and volunteers or site visitors.

INTEROPERABILITY
The pinnacle of the interTRAX suite is its ability to share incident data with off-scene facilities or sister agencies to promote situational awareness, resource management, and interagency coordination. Web-based applications can monitor the incident in real time to determine the status of deployed resources as well as the status of mass casualty incident patients or evacuees. Post incident reports are available for a variety of purposes—including documentation of resources used—to receive reimbursements or budget relief from state or federal agencies
