Subject: RE: [emergency-msg] RM elements - Ross/Jon Skeels
Tim,
Looking at this I realize that we don't
have elements that identify the requestor and the provider. I think we need to
add that distinction. I see the general "ContactInfo" as contact information
relating to the sender of the message, which may not be the requestor of the
resource or the provider of the resource. One thought is to add a "ContactType"
element in "ContactInfo" that can have the values "MessageSender", "Resource
Requester", or "ResourceProvider" - or something like that.
It sounds to me like "Resource Message"
"Status" is system functionality not message content. I think the other elements
in the message provide sufficient information for any resource management system
to provide the status functionality by tracking resource messages.

Sent: Fri 8/25/2006 9:49 AM To: Emergency_Mgt_Msg_SC Subject: [emergency-msg] RM elements - Ross/Jon Skeels All, I completed some research on the 4 “OwnerInfo” elements in the RM design. The background information below is presented from the Wildland Fire / ROSS system perspective.
It appears that all 4 elements are “organization” information. I recommend that “Owner” and “OwningJurisdiction” be combined into one element as they represent the same thing. “HomeDispatch” and “HomeUnit are distinct enough to keep. Documentation frequently uses the term “dispatch unit” generically.
“Owner” / “OwningJurisdiction” Resource Owner Organization. The organization (government or private) who owns the resource.
HomeDispatch Resource Home Dispatch Name - The description used to identify the dispatch unit that has primary responsibility for maintaining information on the resource (e.g., Ft. Collins Dispatch Center, Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center). The HomeDispatch fills Requests for Resource (although it’s not totally clear, this element also appears to be organization info)
HomeUnit Resource Home Unit - The description used to identify the office, district, etc. (organization), where the resource typically works out of (e.g., Manti-Lasal National Forest/Sanpete District). • e.g. When released from the detail assignment, the resource’s “release-to location” will be the location designated by the resource’s home unit. • E.g. Status of “Released” - The assigned resource has departed the event and has been released to the home unit or reassigned unit.
OTHER RELATED INFO - FYI
Organization: A company, office, or agency referenced in ROSS. Includes government and private organizations. • Organization has: • Unit Identifier Code (State Code + 4-Letter Unit ID) • Organization Name (e.g. Boise National Forest, • Organization Location (City, State) • Organization Contact Info (Address, Phone, Email, FAX, etc.) • Organization Type (Federal, State, Private) • Organization Administrative Affiliations • Organization data includes Agency and Unit Name.
Dispatch Organization • The dispatch office responsible for obtaining resources to support the incident/project. • Dispatch Organization (Who has resource ordering responsibility) • Requestor The originating dispatch office • Provider The dispatch office with whom the request is placed and/or assigns the resource.
--------------------------------------- On the side in reference to our “ResourceMessage” “Status” – this is how Request Status - A description of the current state of a request. • Open Request has been logged; no action has been taken. • Pending Request has been reviewed by the decision maker and some activity has occurred. • Cancelled The request has been cancelled by the requestor prior to assignment. • Selected A resource has been selected to fill the request, but has not departed. • Filled-Closed A request has been filled with a supply item that does not require further tracking. • Filled A resource has been dispatched to fill the request and request will remain active until the resource has been released. • Released The assigned resource has departed the event and has been released to the home unit or reassigned unit. • Unable to Fill The request was not filled due to lack of resources based on availability or management priorities. Final disposition; request is considered “closed”.
Request Status - Selected vs. Filled • When a resource is selected to fill a request, the Request Status is set to “Selected”. The request status is changed to “Filled” when the resource departs for the assignment. • Once Request Status is “Filled”, the resource is considered “committed” to the incident and must be released before being selected for another assignment. • This feature allows the resource to be shown on an availability list in cases where the reporting date of the first request is in the future and a second request’s ending dates are prior to that reporting date.
