About CRMCS

The Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM), in partnership with the Kansas Homeland Security Regions, is preparing to roll out a new comprehensive resource management tool. This tool will allow county emergency managers and emergency response agencies the ability to credential personnel, provide information on availability of assets and personnel during an emergency, the ability to track those assets on scene, and complete incident visibility via the internet. The resource information will be collected and stored in the web based resourceMGR web™ (RMW) / interTRAX® exchange system. Resources in the RMW system will be typed by the FEMA Tier I NIMS standards. Assets that fall outside those standards will be identified and given state specific Tier II types as defined by the subject matter experts in the appropriate discipline / Emergency Support Function (ESF).

interTRAX Logo Several of the Regional Homeland Security Councils have implemented accountability and credentialing systems in accordance with NIMS, NFPA and the State Strategic Goals for homeland security. RMW builds upon these systems to provide the entire state of Kansas the opportunity to benefit from the capability.

interTRAX® exchange is a web based tracking system that allows those with appropriate permissions the ability to track, in near real time, the people and assets on scene at an incident. This will provide the opportunity to predict possible needs to effectively manage the incident.

Both, RMW and interTRAX® exchange, are scheduled to launch at the Kansas Emergency Management Association (KEMA) conference in September of this year. The standards for typing and credentialing will follow and the project is expected to be complete July of 2014.
