In current practice, the fire-fighters communication system is verbal, using a simplex radio frequency system (walkietalkie). This system has a flat communication structure, which prevents any private communication among groups of firefighters. In addition, only one fire-fighter is allowed to talk at a time and no other functionalities (e.g. video communications or conferencing) are supported. This paper proposes a new multimedia conferencing system for fire-fighters, which overcomes the current system limitations. The new system is based on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, an infrastructure-less and self-organized wireless networks that are suitable for emergency situations. The proposed system has a cluster-based architecture in order to offer more scalability. A proof-of-concept prototype has been implemented and performance have been evaluated and analysed.

In this paper we introduce the DIORAMA based system that provides situational awareness for urban search and rescue operations in both indoor and outdoor settings, significantly improving the operations' efficiency. Using a Smartphone, DIORAMA enables the responders to triage patients with active RFID tags, and to mark the locations of trapped patients and points of interest (e.g. fire, chemical spill, collapse buildings). In addition, the tagged patients' location will be automatically tracked and updated on the interface. The incident commander can also interact with the responders on-site using the DIORAMA interface either on a Smartphone or a tablet. The DIORAMA system uses active RFID technology as well as visual analytics tools.
