NCEM Identification, Badging and Credentialing (IBAC) System
Overview What is IBAC? The Components In Place What can it do? Integration Use and Policies Future
What is IBAC? A system that will fully integrate identification cards, incident access badges, and credentials/qualifications Comprised of Salamander™ components, TERMS, and various credentialing systems Provides method for resource tracking and validation of qualifications
What Resources to Track? First responders (fire, law, EMS, rescue) Secondary responders (EM, hospitals, public health, NGOs & FBOs) Tertiary players (lawyers, trade groups, and other) WHY? All individually controlled at the local and state levels with no interoperability … ASTM standard A Guide for Credentialing Access to an Incident or Event Site, NIMS, and Real ID Act
The Components in Place Salamander Resource Manager Web – Web-based hard card identification Salamander RapidTAG – Short-term paper identification tags Salamander Command – Electronic ICS 207 on steroids Salamander InterTrax Exchange – Web server to provide overarching view of multiple incidents and report creation
What can it do? Create permanent hard cards containing qualifications Check-in resources Track resources/manage incidents Allows personal accountability (PARs) Create reports
Integration Strategy
Integration Phases
Local Integration Existing Salamander systems can tie into state systems (configuration) Branch kits New acquisitions can tie into state system
Use and Policies Branch kits are available MOA to tie into state system (design, configuration, accounts) Must meet state identification policies Existing state agency specific contract (revert process) HIPAA laws
State Agency Specific Contract Resource Manager Web Print Key $75 Command Work Center $42,995 RapidTAG Work Center $14,995 Mobile Express $4,895 RapidTAG Evac $6,125 Hard Card Printer $7,260 Supplies
Future Automatic qualification dumps (OEMS/OSFM/etc. to TERMS and Salamander) Near real-time visibility (NC SPARTA) Standardized identification policies and standards
