Method and apparatus for creation and maintenance of incident crisis response plans

A client station receives input data from a user relating to a particular crisis incident. The client station includes user interface software elements adapted to guide a user through the process of creating, maintaining and distributing relevant crisis response information for the incident specified. The interface includes displayed menus of selectable, hierarchically organized options and sub-options which guide the user through the relevant processes. The user is given a choice of expert pre-specified crisis plan templates with which to produce and print a finished response plan for the specified incident. The user input data is forwarded to a server, and integrated with the specified template in a master data store into comprehensive, coherent crisis response stored at a user data store. The completed, integrated crisis response data at the user data store is adapted to generate useful reports relating to the crisis incident selected by the user.
