= Scenarios =

A Scenario is a list of required resources (human & equipment), along with a set of Map definitions (Viewport & maybe active layers)

Can be used for both Exercises & real Events.
 * Exercises should have all records marked with **Drill**
  * Notifications, Incident Reports

== Planning ==

{{{
<apocsantos> The airport has 5 levels of alert
<apocsantos> if they call up an alert there is a "resource template" to be activated and made availiable
<apocsantos> for example level 2 alert means we (vila do conde fire department) has to make availiable 5 ambulances with crew, 2 trucks, 1 comand vehicle, and 1 extrication truck
<apocsantos> so every time the alert is triggered the opcom has to check the level of alert and read the procedures, so that he can make the call for volunteers and vehicles
<apocsantos> so imagine a guy under lots of pressure having to send sms alert to call in volunteers
<apocsantos> read the pages for the procedures, see what it's needed and when
<flavour> & we'd like to automate that
<flavour> Select the Scenario from a dropdown
<flavour> It says : OK you need these resources, Press 'Notify' to alert them
<apocsantos> but level five alert (red alert) needs to have clearance from a commanding officer
<apocsantos> for for that level a password would be required
<flavour> How do the vehicles get mobilised?
<apocsantos> if that level of alert is called "a plane has crashed or crash is unavoidable"
<flavour> Volunteers get told to collect them in their mobilisation note?
<apocsantos> volunteers get to the headquarters, and the opcom says what vehicles are needed
<apocsantos> and have to select the crews
<apocsantos> most usualy we "make the crews", with volunteers we are use to work with and have served together in the past
<apocsantos> but that is one of the opcom tasks
<apocsantos> we get in, get geared up, and say "ready and our internal id number"
<flavour> So nothing in the mobilisation order other than 'attend base'
<apocsantos> yep
<apocsantos> it's one of the major fails
<apocsantos> not all of us have training for those situations
<apocsantos> just a few have EMS training
<apocsantos> most just have EMT training

=== Skills ===
Portuguese Firefighters & Red Cross use a common standard for human resources skills defined by the Ministry of Health, which is certified by attending the requisite hours of training & passing both written & practical exams.

Skills are re-credentialled every 6 months:
 * checking minimum time of active duty (275 hrs)
 * a managerial performance rating: pass/fail
& 12 months:
 * checking minimum time of training (70 hrs)
 * a managerial performance rating: 1 (unfit) to 5 (well fitted for the work)
  * need at least 4 points for 5 years to be promoted in rank
 * attended refresher training course
 * Drivers have other standards (psycho-technical assessment every year)

Skills:
 * Firefighter/EMT (150 hr course)
 * Firefighter/EMS (500 hr course inc some medical training and advanced life support)

{{{
<apocsantos> portuese standards for emergency personel are all clearly defined by law, and eveyone has diferente ID numbers for each specific trainning and an identification card
<apocsantos> for example my EMT Card Uniq Identifyer is 36031
<apocsantos> there is no-one in portugal not firefighter or from any other organization with the same EMT Trainning Certification Number
<apocsantos> all the "credential system" is based on uniq identifyers that can be "cross-check" bettween databases
<apocsantos> for example if i respond to a car accident while off dutty the portuguese authority's (police) ask me for the EMT Training ID and Firefighter ID
<apocsantos> they can radio in the ID's an have my credentials validated
}}}
=== Assets ===
Standardised Vehicle Types:


Locations, classified by Response Times to Incident Location:
 * Airport Crash
  * North of Terminal
   * within 5km radius: airport staff 1st in line
   * 5-20km radius: Vila do Conde (15 mins ETA. Morreira da maia have 10 min ETA, but they don't have the same resources)
  * South of Terminal
   * within 10km radius: airport staff 1st in line
   * 10+km radius: Oporto professional firefighters

== Activation ==
We want a way of notifying the relevant human resources that they are required (which is a link between the required skills & the available skills).
 * ideally single button to send out the mobilisation notification
 * major emergencies require this to be done by a senior person

Taking shifts into account:
 * Bombeiros.pt don't need this (always on-call)
 * American Red Cross have 12 hour alternating shift patterns
