## Abstract

An emergency management system having a downloadable cloud base website that assists in the management of an emergency event. Based upon an emergency notification from a first responder, the website sends an initial emergency notification to primary parties. Based upon the type of emergency, a second emergency notification is sent to secondary parties. A two-way communication system is activated between the secondary parties and at least one of the primary parties known as an administrator.
