Addressing Local to State Transitions for Resource Ordering
• In the past, incidents were handled by local responders (Initial Attack) and the Hail Mary call went out. Mutual aid responded without trigger points, county and state agencies became involved without trigger points and when the incident concluded, resources went home. This presented an issue when it came to accountability and payment of resources.
• In January of 2011, the State of Colorado Resource Mobilization Working Group developed a sub-committee to address a statewide plan for identification of trigger points which will guide all jurisdictions through the resource ordering process
• The goal is to simplify the process and fine tune Resource Ordering during an event
Resource Databases
There are several sources used for resource management:
Wildland Firefighting Resources, Aircraft, Overhead, Supplies, Equipment and limited Public Works resources (Ongoing)
All Hazard Resources, Wildland Resources, Aircraft, Supplies, and Equipment. Includes resources for Fire / HazMat, Law Enforcement, Public Works, Emergency Management, Incident Management, Search and Rescue, Public Health, and Animal Emergency Management resources (2004 to 2011)

The newest feature of the database
You can now see where the closest facilities, that have what you need, are located.
Future enhancements may allow full function resource mapping
• Organizations were carried over from the old database and are considered your main facility, headquarters or main office
• Organizations may have a listing for just the organization or can have multiple facility locations
• Main Administrative
• Facilities have been added to address resources that may be under your control, but in different locations.
• Examples include substations, helipads, warehouses, and storage facilities
• Operational Facility
Future upgrades will allow Organizations to share emergency resource contracts that are in place, on file, or to download.
Equipment lists, pricing lists, contact information, team roster lists, inventories
Quarterly updates from the web site remind agencies to update information to remain current on resource information and compliant with grant requirements.
• Because of proprietary information contained within the Private Sector / Commercial side of the database, those users may only see a list of participating entities, and no list of resources or facilities. These users, however, will have full access to their own information.
