Some details
The Washington Military Department minimizes the impact of emergencies and disasters on people, property, environment and the economy of Washington State by providing trained and ready forces for state and federal missions, including disaster zones around the state when they occur. In this case, their Emergency Management Division needed a new, first-of-its kind system to help local officials manage entry into those
disaster zones. Intended for use by officials on-site at an emergency locale, the system needed to be easy to access on mobile devices, intuitive, and provide confirmation for law enforcement that a visitor to the emergency locale had a valid emergency registration with the State.
The challenge was to provide a state-wide emergency business re-entry application where Washington businesses can securely register their business details, manage and print proof of registration annually, while making certain information publicly available and the whole system easy to manage and scalable. We built a web interface for business registration, integrated with email and pdf generators, and created a public facing portal that exposes only specific details about a company',s registration but makes verification of registration easy for users on-site at emergencies
The result was a cloud-based, mobile ready application used across the state by law enforcement agencies responsible for access to disaster zones and incident perimeters.
