IC4W = Incident Command (IC) + Who, What, When, Where (4W)

  • is a mobile, next-generation Incident Command System (ICS) software solution designed for crisis and emergency management
  • provides emergency managers and incident commanders with instant answers to the critical questions of Who? What? Where? When? - essential insights needed when confronting any emergency, case, or incident type
  • is cloud-based allowing government and humanitarian assistance users to access and utilize the software from anywhere including in an EOC, in a mobile command post, in the field, at home, or anywhere using any iPhone or Android device
  • provides real-time intelligence utilizing advanced common operating picture (COP) functionality enabling interoperability and inter-agency communications among organizations, as well as with the public, during multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional crises, and emergencies
  • is highly configurable out-of-the-box making it very adaptable to any emergency type and any organization in government or within the NGO community
  • integrates readily with Microsoft (MS) Office 365, MS SharePoint and MS Teams, as well as ArcGIS Online, Quick Capture and SARCOP
  • supports operations that help to reduce risk to people, property, the environment, and the economy by enabling more effective and optimal decision-making
  • uses open and interoperable architecture

IC4W Cloud provides government and NGOs with a framework for integrating data (including geospatial data), plans, procedures, and a knowledge base within an ICS operational environment for managing crises and emergencies of any kind – from pandemics to floods, wildfires, terrorism incidents, and many more.

 

In doing so, IC4W Cloud enables the application of a common data model (CDM), which solves the critical problem of interoperability among organizations with respect to sharing and communicating actionable information for managing incidents.

 

IC4W Cloud is incident-centric by design providing emergency managers or incident commanders with access to the critical data, reports and communications needed to assign tasks and resources to resolve cases or incidents.  The product is not only adaptable to a wide range of incident types but it is also scalable to meet the demanding requirements of large-scale emergencies.

IC4W Cloud is an Incident Management System (IMS)
technology solution that is designed from the perspective of the emergency manager and incident commander. 

“IMS is a standardized way to manage events or incidents through the
combined use of personnel, facilities, equipment, procedures, and communications
operating with a common organizational structure.”
(CSA Z1600-17: Emergency & Continuity Management Program) 

IC4W Cloud supports the Incident Command System (ICS) concept of operations.

 
 

CounterCrisis Tech has developed an Incident Management System (IMS) technology gap analysis process, which makes use of recognized crisis and emergency management standards for defining ‘ideal state’ requirements. It is comprised of the following:

  • defined goals based on standard IMS elements;
  • defined ideal state based on standards and peer practice;
  • information collection template to facilitate current state analysis;
  • comparison of the current state with the ideal state;
  • gap description and quantification; and
  • recommendations.

CounterCrisis Tech offers its IMS Tech Gap Analysis process as a service for the nominal fee of $1750, which can be purchased here. 

 

For more information, please book an appointment for an exploratory call. 

 

Find out how your current IMS technology capabilities measure up to international standards, and how to resolve and potential gaps. 

 

The substantial benefits of conducting an IMS Tech Gap Analysis are listed below:

  • gaining insight into areas that need improvement or enhancement;
  • finding gaps and areas of weakness;
  • discovering hidden capabilities;
  • optimizing existing technology investments and usage;
  • uncovering differences in perceptions versus reality;
  • finding the best places to deploy technology;
  • defining requirements;
  • prioritizing needs;
  • providing information to decision makers; and
  • stretching program budgets.
