Emergency
Communications and Evacuation
Problem
Addressed:
In an evacuation, many
people willing to evacuate are unable to leave, and coordinating efforts is
limited by data scattered across multiple institutions
Description
Integrate data across
multiple agencies to identify and locate people who are more likely to require
guidance and evacuation assistance
Provide a
mobile-accessible database that contains information about who needs help, what kind of
help, and where help is needed
Individuals who require
assistance transmit a help message to and receive directions from the
authorities
Enable dynamic
dispatching and routing of available resources (e.g., vehicles) during the
evacuation
