In a time of crisis or in an emergency a manager is required to make many decisions to facilitate the proper solution and conclusion to the emergency or crisis. In order to make these decisions the manager must have correct up-to-date information on the situation. To provide this information the most logical solution appears to be an automated information entry and display process. Information handling needs can be identified in terms of data, video, and voice. Studies of existing Emergency Operations Centers and evaluations of hardware and software have been completed. The result of these studies and investigations is the design and implementation of an automated Emergency Management Information System. Not only is the system useful for Emergency Management but for any information management requirement. 3 refs., 5 figs.
