A
system for managing responders acquiring
medical equipment and responding to an emergency medical event includes mobile devices associated with responders; a
computer aided dispatch (CAD), and an equipment / responder
management system communicatively coupled to the mobile devices and CAD and configured to receive an event location from the CAD, retrieve
medical equipment locations from a
database, receive responder locations from the mobile devices, send the event and equipment locations to a first
mobile device, generate an activity log for the event including
first responder status information based on the responder location, the event and
medical equipment locations, send the activity log to the first
mobile device, send the event location and the medical equipment locations to a second
mobile device, update the activity log with second responder status information based on the responder, event and medical equipment locations, and send the activity log to the mobile devices.
