## Abstract

An incident command system (ICS) of the present disclosure may include an ICS application running on a network that includes multiple mobile digital devices and one or more servers. Each of the mobile digital devices may be used by a respective agent of a venue to report an incident and to carry out one or more procedures associated with the incident response. One such procedure is a child release process, in which a plurality of children may be efficiently and systematically reunited with adult guardians.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data processing system for notifying responders of an emergency, the data processing system comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memory devices; and
an incident response system application comprising a plurality of instructions stored in the one or more memory devices and executable by the one or more processors to notify responders of an emergency by:
receiving, from a first mobile digital device (MDD) of a group of associated MDDs, a report of an incident in progress, the report including a visual map selection indicating location of the incident;
automatically recording, in the one or more memory devices, a timestamped log entry of the report;
automatically sending a push notification to the group of associated MDDs other than the first MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the report;
receiving additional information regarding the incident in progress from a second MDD of the group of associated MDDs, the second MDD being different from the first MDD;
automatically recording in the one or more memory devices a timestamped log entry of the additional information; and
automatically sending a push notification to the group of associated MDDs other than the second MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the additional information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the visual map selection includes a cursor overlaying a map image.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the map image is a satellite aerial view image.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the visual map selection also indicates location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the location is the current location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a dedicated software application, a respective instance of the dedicated software application running on each of the MDDs of the group, wherein the dedicated software application comprises at least a portion of the plurality of instructions.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the group of MDDs are linked together via a computer network.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the computer network includes at least one server that is separate and distinct from the group of associated MDDs.

### Claim 9

A computer-implemented method for notifying responders of an emergency, the method comprising:
receiving, at a network server from a first mobile digital device (MDD) of a group of networked MDDs, a report of an incident in progress, the report including a visual map selection indicating location of the incident;
automatically recording a timestamped log entry of the report;
automatically sending, from the network server, a push notification to the group of networked MDDs other than the first MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the report;
receiving, at the network server from a second MDD of the group of networked MDDs, additional information regarding the incident in progress, the second MDD being different from the first MDD;
automatically recording a timestamped log entry of the additional information; and
automatically sending, from the network server, a push notification to the group of networked MDDs other than the second MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the additional information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the visual map selection includes a cursor overlaying a map image.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the map image is a satellite aerial view image.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, where the visual map selection also indicates location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD is the current location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein a respective instance of a dedicated software application is running on each of the MDDs of the group.

### Claim 15

A computer program product for an incident command system, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to:
receive, at a network server from a first mobile digital device (MDD) of a group of networked MDDs, a report of an incident in progress, the report including a visual map selection indicating location of the incident;
automatically record a timestamped log entry of the report;
automatically send, from the network server, a push notification to the group of networked MDDs other than the first MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the report;
receive, at the network server from a second MDD of the group of networked MDDs, additional information regarding the incident, the second MDD being different from the first MDD;
automatically record a timestamped log entry of the additional information; and
automatically send a push notification to the group of networked MDDs other than the second MDD, the push notification containing the timestamped log entry of the additional information.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the visual map selection includes a cursor overlaying a map image.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the map image is a satellite aerial view image.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the visual map selection also indicates location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD is the current location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD.

### Claim 20 (depends on 18)

The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the location of at least one of the first MDD or the second MDD is the current location of the first MDD and a current location of the second MDD.
