“…Similarly, in 2017, the Red Cross used drones to deliver food and water to areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. In addition to their use in response efforts, drones are also being used in preparedness and mitigation activities [10,27,81,82]. For example, drones can be used to map flood-prone areas and assess the risk of landslides, allowing emergency management officials to develop more effective evacuation plans and other mitigation measures.…”

The advancement in technology has led to the integration of internet-connected devices and systems into emergency management and response, known as the Internet of Emergency Services (IoES). This integration has the potential to revolutionize the way in which emergency services are provided, by allowing for real-time data collection and analysis, and improving coordination among various agencies involved in emergency response. This paper aims to explore the use of IoES in emergency response and disaster management, with an emphasis on the role of sensors and IoT devices in providing real-time information to emergency responders. We will also examine the challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of IoES, and discuss the potential impact of this technology on public safety and crisis management. The integration of IoES into emergency management holds great promise for improving the speed and efficiency of emergency response, as well as enhancing the overall safety and well-being of citizens in emergency situations. However, it is important to understand the possible limitations and potential risks associated with this technology, in order to ensure its effective and responsible use. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Internet of Emergency Services and its implications for emergency response and disaster management.

“…One of the most critical issues is the impact of urban emergencies such as fires, floods, earthquakes, traffic accidents, and pandemics [2]. These emergencies can cause significant disruption to the city's infrastructure and services, leading to economic losses and, in severe cases, loss of life [3]. Tackling urban emergencies has thus been promoted as a critical step in meeting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly the SDG 11 [4][5][6].…”

Urban areas are undergoing significant changes with the rise of smart cities, with technology transforming how cities develop through enhanced connectivity and data-driven services. However, these advancements also bring new challenges, especially in dealing with urban emergencies that can disrupt city life and infrastructure. The emergency management systems have become crucial elements for enabling cities to better handle urban emergencies, although ensuring the reliability and detectability of such system remains critical. This article introduces a new method to perform reliability and detectability assessments. By using Fault Tree Markov chain models, this article evaluates their performance under extreme conditions, providing valuable insights for designing and operating urban emergency systems. These analyses fill a gap in the existing research, offering a comprehensive understanding of emergency management systems functionality in complex urban settings.
