Abstract

Efficient communication architectures are vital for handling larger scale disaster management, and existing communication mechanisms have several shortcomings due to the heterogeneity of the first response groups. In this paper, we present requirements leading to FRCS, a sandbox environment for simulating all kinds of communication approaches in a first response scenario. Through extensive telephone interviews and from existing reports, we have identified several use cases which a first response system must be able to handle. Only by combining both, a unified infrastructure scenario and standardized use cases, becomes a fair evaluation of different kinds of first response solutions possible.
