What is Bmore-Responsive?

A simple, flexible API to support emergency response coordination. Sample use cases include:

  • keeping track of local nursing home status and needs during a global pandemic
  • identifying hospitals lacking power during a natural disaster
  • assuring safety of hikers in a national park during a snow storm

This system will make use of digital services and modern methodologies to automate and simplify parts of the check-in process to help the municipality prioritize its call/check-in list and response plan. Additionally, the system will validate contact information regularly during non-emergency times to ensure the municipality has the most up-to-date information for each entity.

What does it do?

Bmore-Responsive provides the following primary features via a secure REST API:

  • Maintain set of Entities (could be hospitals, nursing homes, campers, etc)
  • Maintain set of Contacts for Entities (people who can provide status/need info for entities)
  • Capture of status/need information about Entities
  • User account and role management to enable secure authentication and authorization
  • Export of any data via CSV
