Abstract

Claims (61)

1 . A student-guardian reunification management system, comprising:

a data store comprising incident data; and

a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device configured to perform operations comprising:

presenting, in an incident commander user interface (UI) executing on the computing device, a first control that is operable to select an emergency response from a plurality of selectable emergency responses; and

in response to operation of the first control:

initiating the selected emergency response in the system;

sending, to the data store, a request for incident data related to the initiated emergency response; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the incident data related to the initiated emergency response.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of selectable emergency responses comprise at least one of an evacuation response, a shelter response, a lockdown response, or a lockout response.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the incident data comprises at least one of a proportion of students in each of multiple status categories, a number of students in each of the multiple status categories, a proportion of visitors in each of the multiple status categories, a number of visitors in each of the multiple status categories, a proportion of staff in each of the multiple status categories, a number of staff in each of the multiple status categories, a list of locations, location information for one or more students, location information for one or more staff, location information for one or more visitors, a release status for one or more students, or reunification information for one or more students.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

receiving, by the computing device, updated incident data related to the emergency response; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the updated incident data.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the updated incident data is received, at the data store, from a plurality of user devices during execution of the emergency response.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

present, in the incident commander UI, a second control operable to initiate a drill mode of the system; and

in response to operation of the second control, initiate the selected emergency response in the system as a drill using the drill mode.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the computing device is configured to, in response to operation of the second control, perform operations comprising:

sending, to the data store, a request for incident data; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the incident data.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

prior to presenting the incident commander UI:

receiving, by the computing device, one or more items of credential data for a user;

authenticating the user based on the credential data;

presenting, by the computing device, a second control operable to select a role from a plurality of roles, the plurality of roles comprising an incident commander role; and

based on receiving a selection of the incident commander role through operation of the second control, displaying the incident commander UI on the computing device.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise displaying, in the incident commander UI, a second control operable to transmit one or more notification messages to one or more user devices.

10 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

presenting, in an incident commander user interface (UI) executing on a computing device, a first control that is operable to select an emergency response from a plurality of selectable emergency responses; and

in response to operation of the first control:

initiating the selected emergency response;

sending, to a data store, a request for incident data related to the initiated emergency response; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the incident data related to the initiated emergency response.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of selectable emergency responses comprise at least one of an evacuation response, a shelter response, a lockdown response, or a lockout response.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the incident data comprises at least one of a proportion of students in each of multiple status categories, a number of students in each of the multiple status categories, a proportion of visitors in each of the multiple status categories, a number of visitors in each of the multiple status categories, a proportion of staff in each of the multiple status categories, a number of staff in each of the multiple status categories, a list of locations, location information for one or more students, location information for one or more staff, location information for one or more visitors, a release status for one or more students, or reunification information for one or more students.

13 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, updated incident data related to the emergency response; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the updated incident data.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the updated incident data is received, at the data store, from a plurality of user devices during execution of the emergency response.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

presenting, in the incident commander UI, a second control operable to initiate a drill mode; and

in response to operation of the second control, initiating the selected emergency response as a drill using the drill mode.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

in response to operation of the second control:

sending, to the data store, a request for incident data; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the incident data.

17 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

prior to presenting the incident commander UI:

receiving, by the computing device, one or more items of credential data for a user;

authenticating the user based on the credential data;

presenting, by the computing device, a second control operable to select a role from a plurality of roles, the plurality of roles comprising an incident commander role; and

based on receiving a selection of the incident commander role through operation of the second control, displaying the incident commander UI on the computing device.

18 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

displaying, in the incident commander UI, a second control operable to transmit one or more notification messages to one or more user devices.

19 . One or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

presenting, in an incident commander user interface (UI) executing on a computing device, a first control that is operable to select an emergency response from a plurality of selectable emergency responses; and

in response to operation of the first control:

initiating the selected emergency response;

sending, to a data store, a request for incident data related to the initiated emergency response; and

displaying, in the incident commander UI, the incident data related to the initiated emergency response.

20 . The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of selectable emergency responses comprise at least one of an evacuation response, a shelter response, a lockdown response, or a lockout response.
