Incident Tools

March 27, 2023

  

Search Incidents, Incident Sharing, and Incident Invitation Tools are some of the most significant tools within COBRA that are often overlooked, especially in times of panic or emergency. Incidents and Events carry heavy pressure from an Emergency Managers position and having the proper tools at their fingertips can make all the difference. Easily finding and/or making an Incident available to other Emergency Responders leaves a clear path for smooth transfer of information. Also being able to share information with Officials and Stakeholders quickly and clearly is of utmost importance. Each of these tools enable the above possible.
