Credentialing

The Salamander identification and credentialing program is available to all governmental agencies, special districts, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and voluntary organizations active in disasters (VOADs) in the state of Colorado. The system is supported by DHSEM and managed by the logistics section.

The goal of the program is to facilitate rapid incident identification through:

  • standardized identification cards for personnel and equipment 
  • a method to account for and track resources in an event
