1
A repeat status request or direct contact.
No Report Means No Assumption
A gate event, badge detection or previous phone coordinate may be accurate historically, but none of those records confirms how the person is doing now.
Recorded Presence Is Not Confirmed Safety
Access and location systems establish context. Emergency accountability requires a separate decision: has the person deliberately confirmed SAFE, requested HELP or remained unresolved?
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The LivePOB Rule
Until a confirmed status is received, the person remains unaccounted for.
This prevents a previous gate event or device position from hiding uncertainty. Non-responders remain visible until they are resolved.
What Follow-Up Can Include
2
Verification through a supervisor, colleague or authorized responder.
3
Reconciliation with access, transport or assignment records.
Why This Improves Decisions and Drills
Clear unresolved populations let response teams focus on HELP requests and unknown status. During drills, the same data identifies communication and participation gaps that require improvement.
