Systems, methods and apparatus for providing enhanced situational awareness in incidents

A method for assigning resources to an indecent based on partnerships between at least two emergency response agencies comprising:

• receiving a call associated with an incident at a first emergency response agency;
• relaying information describing aspects of the incident to at least a second emergency response agency in partnership with the first emergency response agency, the partnership at least enabling sharing of resources of the second emergency response agency with the first emergency response agency;
• tracking geographical locations of resources associated with the first emergency response agency and the second emergency response agency;
• applying weights to criteria associated with the resources of the second emergency response agency that are deployable by the first emergency response agency, wherein the criteria at least include the geographical locations of resources associated with the first emergency response agency and the second emergency response agency;
• ranking the resources in accordance with a time to arrive at the incident, based on the weights of the criteria associated with the resources;
• displaying, on a user interface, a list of ranked resources deployable by the first emergency response agency;
• and
• assigning at least one resource from the list of ranked resources to the incident.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause at least one computer processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a call associated with an incident at a first emergency response agency;
• relaying information describing aspects of the incident to at least a second emergency response agency in partnership with the first emergency response agency, the partnership at least enabling sharing of resources of the second emergency response agency with the first emergency response agency;
• tracking geographical locations of resources associated with the first emergency response agency and the second emergency response agency;
• applying weights to criteria associated with the resources of the second emergency response agency that are deployable by the first emergency response agency, wherein the criteria at least include the geographical locations of resources associated with the first emergency response agency and the second emergency response agency;
• ranking the resources in accordance with a time to arrive at the incident, based on the weights of the criteria associated with the resources;
• assigning at least one resource from the resources ranked in accordance with a time to arrive at the incident;
• and
• causing display of a perceptible representation of a maximum allowable time to respond to the incident based on an average speed of travel of the at least one resource to the incident.
