,D OF INVENTION
[0003] This invention relates in gen~ai to a system for providing emergency site information. More particularly the present invention relates to a standalone databank, or database, accessible by emergency pen~onnel that will provide personal and site information vital an emergency situation, BACKGROUND OF~E MIYENTION
(0004] In an emergency situation po ice and flnafighters would greatly benefit from prior knowledge of the site or building they are about to enter.
For example knawing the location of utilities shut offis, the location of hazardous, dangerous and fatal materials with additional pertinent information about these items, the location of stairs and number of steps can greatly assist in manewering through a location and diminish the risk to emergency personnel.
Further this knowledge increases the speed with which the emergency personnel can respond. Addfionally, information pertaining to the likely occupants of the building, such as medical highlights or special needs, would allow them to better prepare for the emergency.
(0003] In the past, in order to have site information available at the scene.
volumes of docurntants abarut the site have been hauled to the scene and must be inspected during the emergency. Also emergency contact names and numbers, such as the comply and person responsible for the utilities and or information on handling of other poten#ial dangerous situations, as for example aru.,rsg«~w5i . .~~~
hazardous materials, needed to be tracked doom. This is an obvious waste of precious moments that can be better used to save a building, a person or other occupant. In a residential emergency the emergency response team must enter a home without knowledge of lurking dangers such as an aggressive dog or an oxygen tank. Due to this they must proceed slowly risking their lives and those of the occupants.
(0006) US Patent 5,793,882 to Piatek describes a personnel accountability system using machine-readable data attached to the emergency response person in the form of an ID tag. This data can include a Ilst of skills and health concerns which the emergency commander will use to dispatch that individual to a specific location or task or to provide emergency care in the event the personnel is injured. Piatek also discusses a similar machine-readable data attached to a site, in a lockbox of sorts that will periodically transmit the information or will transmit when interrogated by a receiver. The site information may include floor plans, blueprints, photographs of interior portions of the site, fire inspection reports, identification of hazardous materials, utility shut-offs and gas lines and more. Although such a system has advantages, it may not be an attractive or practical solution to many communities due to cost and difficulty to implement. Further the likelihood of tampering of the lockbox information may be high, putting the system in jeopardy. Users may be reluctant to provide site information in mad~ine-readable format as access would be difficult to control.
(0007) US Patent 5,805,670 to Pons describes a private notification system where a subscriber provides pre-selected recipients', such as family and friends, contact information. This information is used to contact a person who can provide information about the person placing the 9-1-1 call. Further the subscriber can provide emergency care information to the emergency care information database. This database is accessed during a 9-1-1 call. A fairly complex private notification system is describe and requires two call processing personnel, duplication in the equipment to serve them and wireline and or wireless communication capabilities between them and the emergency response gist.. ~~e~~:,~. =-~r~0.s~
team. Unfortunately wireless communication is not always reliable in rural areas rendering the use of this system as equally unreliable. Also, the emergency care information database does not provide site informat'ron that would be immensely useful to the emergency response team.
(0008] The Canadian Patent Application 2,307,988 to Genee describes a hospital implementation of a visual display of room information. This system is intended to track what is in a room and the condition of that item, for example occupied or not. In this manner staff can better plan room allocation. This system is not for an emergency response situation such as a fire or some sort of criminal alten;,ation. It does not extend to a community environment and its unique needs.
(0009] It is obvious that the above inventions do not address the need for an emergency information system, adaptable to a community, affordable, easily implemented and that provides pertinent site and likely occupant information.
(0010] To be completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIQN OP TjrlE P~ REFERi~,~~;~,EQ~~~,FNT
[00"!6] The system of the present invention includes a standalone emergency information database accessible to emergency personnel only, such as fire fighters, police and ambulance personnel. The database contains site and occupant information. The system is designed to be easily implemented, using commonly available software and hardware and affordable to all who wish to have such protection. The system may be available on a subscription basis. It is ideal for residences, schools and businesses or any other location an emergency response team may need to access.
[0017] The emergency information database includes an area overview with map or street outline, a basic floor plan of the site or dwelling, location and other necessary information regarding heating and electrical panels, hydrants, exits and entrances, toxic waste, and potential dangers such as oxygen tanks and an aggressive dog. It also inGudes instructions such as location with rreference to landmarks such as stairs and number of stairs, which way doors open and water shut-off instructions. The floor plan also includes the likely location of all potential occupants.
[0018] The database further includes pertinent information on every ocdrpant of the dwelling as well as pets, if any. The personal information portion of the database comprises tag items such as name, age, date of birth, nicknames, next of kin, medical highlights, special needs, height, weight and may include an image or picture of the individual. The pet information captured by the database has the tag items of name, gender, type, age temperament, ,_.u n f ..H , , ~iopgxp, handling instructions, and possible hiding locations as welt as veterinarian information and people to call to care for the animal in the event the owner is not able to. Again an image or picture of the pet is optional, Of course, other information may be provided for both individuals, pets and the site itself.
[0019) A computer system includes or stores the database in its memory, either on the hard drive or any other storage medium such as a digital video disk (DVD), compact disk (CD) or magnetic medium. The database may be implemented in any format such as an Exceh~'~ spread sheet or any other program with search and hyperlink capabilities, although any database format is acceptable.
[0020] For ease of maintenance, the database is accessible via the World Wide Web or Internet to any subscriber. The subscriber is responsible for entering and updating all information in hismer file. Where a subscriber does not have access to the Internet or is not familiar with Internet access, the data may be entered by department staff or volunteers. In this instance the responsibility rests with the subscriber to provide any change of information for updating the database. A reminder may be sent to ail subscribers on a regular basis, such as yearly, requesting that the database be updated [0021] In nrral areas cellwlar, radio and even satellite communication is not reliable. While traveling through an area, communication may be degraded and even suspended as a vehicle passes behind a mountain ar descends into a valley. Further, it is time consuming for an emergency respond team to utilize wireline communications upon arrival at an emergency site. Preferably, each emergency vehicle has assigned to it a computer system including the emergency information database. Ait~matively, one or more computer systems, including the emergency information database, is available to emergency response personnel and is taken along during an emergency response. In this manner the emergency response personnel may access the information in preparation for arrival to the site. Alternatively the database may be accessed via a database administrator and the information relayed to the emergency response team via radio, telephone, hand held data communication device or remote fax where cornrnunication is reliable.
[0022] When accessed, the emergency information database will query for a key descriptor such as a 9-1-1 address, street address, owner or occupant or any other key descriptor that will link to the correct file. Once the file is accessed the emergency information database firstly displays a summary of the site, occupants and neighbouring dwellings. Using software hyperlink commands, this summary page provides links to more specit7c information.
[0023] For example the 9-1-1 address or street address, using hyperlinks, links to and displays an area overview and street outline providing clear and concise din3ctions for the emergency response team to easily locate the site or dwelling. Preferably the street outline provides the neighbours' names and contact information in the event communication with them is important.
[0024] The residential, business, or school, emergency information data is displayed next and includes a basic floor plan of the site or building, location and other necessary information regarding heating and electrical panels, hydrants, exits and entrances, toxic waste, potential dangers (such as oxygen tanks and aggressive dog). The floor plan includes likely location of all potential occupants, such as the location of their bedrooms or, in the event of a business, their offices.
[0025) Links to the personal information is possible from the floor plan, or alternatively from the summary peg~. Personal information is provided for each occupant of the dwelling as well as pets, it any. The personal information portion of the database comprises name, age, date of birth, nicknames, next of kin, medical highlights, special needs, height, weight and may include an image or picture of the individual. The pet information captured by the database is name, gender, type, age, temperament, handling instructions, and possible hiding locations as well as handling instructions, veterinarian information and people to call to care for the animal in the event the owner is not able to. Again an image ".~.H.m..~ .,.n"wnn, _. ~w. ~..
or picture of the pet is optional. Of course other personal or pet information may be provided.
[0026j Using software hyperiink commands, this portion of the database may link to further information such as more detail pertaining to medical or special needs. A medical highlight may indude an allergy while the more detailed infom~ation may provide alternative ways to treat an allergic reaction that, in the past, has worked best far this individual.
[0027j Armed with this information, emergency r~sponse learns may respond to an emergency with more confidence and more quickly attend to the necessary tasks, such as turning off electrical power. Further, they can enter a dwelling prepared to deal with an aggressive dog, or oxygen tanks. In this manner injury to the emergency response personnel is minimized and response time may be reduced so that the number of lives saved may be increased. This system allows emergency personnel to know in advance the lay out of the emergency site therefore significantly diminishing the retrieval lime of persons and pets.
[0028) To achieve the faster response time the site information must be kept up to date and accurate. It is the responsibility of the subscriber to update the database when changes occur. A reminder may be sent to the subscriber on a regular basis, such as yearly, requesting that the database be updated and verified for accuracy.
For example knawing the location of utilities shut offis, the location of hazardous, dangerous and fatal materials with additional pertinent information about these items, the location of stairs and number of steps can greatly assist in manewering through a location and diminish the risk to emergency personnel.
Further this knowledge increases the speed with which the emergency personnel can respond. Addfionally, information pertaining to the likely occupants of the building, such as medical highlights or special needs, would allow them to better prepare for the emergency.
