The EIIP Tech Arena featured an incident management software package, EM/2000 by Specialized Disaster Systems International. SDSI Director of Development, David Hancock, provided an overview complete with screen captures to demonstrate the software.

The product motto is "By Emergency Managers, For Emergency Managers." EM/2000 is a collection of 13 inter-related databases plus a customization manager that allows the user to customize common fields to user-specific terminology, and a search engine that allows one to search all databases at once. The databases cover resources, contacts, incident and message tracking, and situation reports.
