INTEGRATED INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IIMS), A MULTI-AGENCY INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR COORDINATING FIRST AND SECONDARY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO INCIDENTS/EMERGENCIES

By interconnecting in near real-time public safety, transport, and public works operations centers and maintenance facilities with on-scene emergency response vehicles, both the response time to an incident can be reduced and the quality of the response by secondary emergency responders can be improved. The Integrated Incident Management System (IIMS), a large, multi-agency entity for coordinating incident and emergency responses that is being tested in New York City, provides this interconnection. This paper provides an overview of the IIMS, which is expected to improve coordination between public safety, public works, and transportation agencies; reduce the severity and duration of incidents; and provide more accurate reporting of incident status and impact on the transportation network.
