What does "Assigned" status indicate for resources?

The "Assigned" status indicates that resources have been checked in and are actively assigned to specific work tasks. This means that the equipment or personnel are not just present but have been designated for a particular duty or operational response. In an emergency response context, knowing which resources are assigned helps ensure proper management and coordination of efforts, allowing for efficient operations.

This status contrasts with situations where resources might be unavailable or in need of maintenance, as those would not be engaged in current operations. Resources that are ready for deployment are in a state where they can be immediately activated but are not yet assigned to a specific task, which further highlights the distinct role of those designated as "Assigned."
