12. Appendix Outline Intro Miki Demo 1 Demo 2 Dev. Future Q & A Appendix “The MiKi is a great system to allow emergency responders to not only see, in real time, scene management, but to document what is going on and to have a record of the response and activity during a major event.  The incident commander, supervisors, other critical on scene responders and managers can easily see what is happening, where responders are located, what needs to be covered or addressed, and know what others are doing because of its interactive capability.  This is a terrific tool that enhances critical incident response and management.” Vicky Storm Chief of Police University of Washington
