Further use of the communication device will provide information on the dangers associated with identified hazardous materials. In an alternate embodiment, the information stored in the secure database includes information on the location of children, the infirm, the elderly, pets or livestock. In a still further alternate embodiment the information in the secure database is used for the submission of pre-incident information or post-incident reports. In a still further alternate embodiment, the information in the secure database is used for analysis and discovering correlations or trends associated with the collected data.
