First Responder Access- Common Pass™ provides community-coordinated emergency preparedness and locally-controlled First Responder access.
| Challenge |
Common Pass™ Solution |
| Identifying First Responders |
Provides a community-wide Responder database which can then be stored at any door anywhere, even where the Responders are unknown to the existing access control |
| Plannig incident response |
Utilizes Common Pass™ Incident Response rules to define Responder access for different incident types |
| Responding to an incident |
The infrastructure owner/operator activates the Incident Response Rules when an incident occurs allowing specific Responder access, even if the Responder is unknown to the existing access control system |
| Recognizing the First Responder |
Accepts any ID format including FIPS-201 ID cards, even where the existing access control panel is notdesigned to accept these for mats |
| Support from Federal programs - three key components |
Provides Emergency Preparedness, Responder access and FIPS-201 ID acceptance |
Community-Coordinated Emergency Preparedness
Responder Database – pre-load 400,000 Responder IDs of any format at any critical infrastructure location door.
Incident Preparedness – pre-load Incident Response Rules defining which Responders are allowed access during an incident - at any critical Infrastructure location door.
Locally-Controlled Responder Access
Activate Incident Response Rules and allow Responder access – when an incident occurs, the local infrastructure owner/operator activates the pre-loaded Incident Response Rules allowing Responder access, even where the Responders are unknown to the local existing access control system.
Recognize Responders – accept any ID badge format including “smart” cards such as FIPS-201 ID cards - even where the local existing access control system does not accept these advanced ID card formats.
Manage and track the incident
Manage and track the incident via a Web browser and graphical site maps.
Federal Programs
Common Pass™ works with Federal Programs for Critical Infrastructure Protection from The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), The Department of Education (DOE) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Common Pass™ provides Emergency Preparedness, Responder incident access and FIPS-201 ID support – the three key working components for these programs.
