Disaster event management

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first device comprising a processor, a notification that an emergency event has occurred within a first defined distance from a worksite;
• determining, by the first device, that a first user equipment device associated with a first employee is within a second defined distance from the worksite;
• receiving, by the first device, a first status update from the first user equipment device, wherein the first status update comprises a validation code;
• determining, by the first device, whether the validation code is a match with directory information associated with the first user equipment device;
• in response to the receiving the first status update and the validation code being determined to be the match with the directory information, updating, by the first device, a status associated with the first employee;
• determining, by the first device, that a second status update was not received from a second user equipment device associated with a second employee within the second defined distance from the worksite;
• and
• in response to the determining that the second status update was not received from the second user equipment device, transmitting, by the first device, a location of the second user equipment device to a second device associated with a first responder system to prompt an emergency responder to respond to the location as an increased danger location.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining that a first mobile device associated with a first employee is within a first predetermined distance of an emergency event based on a network location of the first mobile device;
• receiving a first status update from the first mobile device, wherein the first status update comprises a validation code and status information;
• matching the validation code to directory information associated with the first mobile device;
• and
• in response to the matching the validation code to the directory information, updating a status of the first employee in an emergency tracking database with the status information
• determining that a second status update was not received from a second mobile device associated with a second employee within a second predetermined distance of the emergency event, wherein the second predetermined distance is based on a job hierarchy found within the directory information;
• and
• transmitting a location of the second mobile device to a second device associated with an emergency management system to inform an emergency responder of a higher danger associated with the emergency, in relation to the location, than the first predetermined distance.
