Resource Tracking. Resource tracking takes place at two levels. At the tactical (incident) level, the IC and his staff will track resources to ensure accountability and proper utilization. At the strategic level, the County /local/state EOC’s, will track resources. As deployed resources are demobilized, they should report their return to base status to the County EOC for relay up the emergency management chain. During large scale events, MEMA will activate an event resource log to provide a common operating picture.
Resource Tracking. Comprehensive resource management is a key management principle. It implies that all assets and personnel during an event need to be tracked and accounted for. It ensures maintenance of accountability over all resources. Thus, they can be moved quickly to support preparation and response to an incident and ensure a fluid demobilization. Resource management involves coordinating and overseeing the acquisition and deployment of tools, supplies, equipment, and people during a flood. The objective of resource management is to (a) maximize efficient resource use while maintaining cost-effectiveness and resource safety,
Resource Tracking. Resource tracking begins at the time of dispatch and is relayed from the sending dispatch center to the receiving dispatch center for positive tracking of resources. Resource tracking continues at the incident following NIMS and ICS guidelines. Resource tracking will end when the deployed resource is recorded as having returned to their regular duty station and their respective dispatch center notifies the incident’s Logistics Section the demobilization is closed out.
