Subject: RE: [emergency-msg] RM elements - Ross/Jon Skeels
The “role” element was meant
for that purpose, but we should discuss in the next meeting. On the status side, we would need a good
clear justification back to the practitioners, explaining how their requirement
will be met. The Ross status is just one of many samples out there. Tim From: Aymond, Patti
[mailto:Patti.Aymond@iem.com] 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. Patti From: 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., (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. •
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. Evolution
