Emergency Management Information System (E TEAM)

The Emergency Management Information System (EMIS) E Team software creates a platform for a real time, interoperable, communications system that disseminates the right information to the right people at the right time. The goal of the system is to ensure that organizations are effectively able to maintain situational awareness and manage the consequences resulting from a wide range of events.

E Team is a web-based software tool that facilitates decision making and allows a quicker, more effective response by enabling users to easily gather, analyze, and share information. The E Team System allows a manager to gain and maintain situational awareness, document events and functions that occur within the operations center, request and track resources, oversee plan execution, monitor the status of local infrastructure, and foresee potential problems through the use of reports and real-time Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping tools.

As a priority of the British Columbia Health Emergency Management Council, the Ministry of Health Services' Emergency Management Unit (EMU) in partnership with Health Sector IM/IT Division (HSIMT) is currently implementing the EMIS solution within the health sector. The project team has identified E Team as the tool for health sector emergency managers and first responders that will facilitate the task of managing incidents, disasters, and planned events.
