The idea that small or medium emergency services agencies had to do without good technology has always chaffed at us. We believe that ANY agency big or small should have access to the same data and tools.
When we discovered that the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System had run on paper based box cards since it’s inception the late 1960s we knew we had a golden opportunity to create a valuable and useful product.
When MABAS is established as a mutual aid standard for an area the methods for dispatching, planning and emergency scene management changes. EMABAS by Mutual Aid Labs takes the manual paper driven process and makes it fully electronic that changes and updates when data and resources change and update.
We’ve been writing our application for a year with the input of emergency services professionals from working MABAS divisions. Now we are ready to launch and change the face of MABAS forever.
The Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) is a system for organizing and dispatching mutual aid to member agencies. This system has been in existence since the late 1960s when it originally started in the Chicago area. Today MABAS is the mutual aid standard for IL, WI and MI The adoption of MABAS is being begun or examined in the following states: IN, OH, MI, KS and IA.
EMABAS (Electronic MABAS) from Mutual Aid Labs transforms a nearly 50 year old emergency service’s mutual aid standard from paper to a fully dynamic, data driven web based planning and dispatching platform
