Product Description
The broad impact of recent natural
disasters to several major metropolitan
areas of the United States has exposed
deficiencies in the current emergency
plans to monitor the location of evacuees
and reunify them with family or friends.
Animal shelter staff, veterinarians and
rescue groups across the country
identified the same deficiencies for
animal as well.
Utilizing various types of personal
identification technology, the individual
or animal identification device would be
scanned into the system as they were
evacuated. In the event of injury, they
are moved to the triage system. Otherwise,
they are tracked from point to point as
they mobilized at different stages of
evacuation. Data on their location,
condition, needs and messages are posted
on an electronic system that keeps other
informed of their status. Messages from
friends and family are sent to the evacuee
via email or other electronic means. The
evacuee at their request can withhold
information for public view.
