“…Moreover, this system must balance fault tolerance, provide avenues for advanced capabilities to manage security, cost, and spectral efficiency as well as trained personnel to operate the system (Peha, 2006;Van De Walle and Turoff, 2007;Ansari et al, 2008). With the current national communication system, proposed in the NECP, the goal of interoperability strengthens the ability of individuals and organizations to communicate and disseminate information and, hopefully, overcome impediments, such as funding, incompatible systems, and geographic coverage.…”

Information communication technology (ICT) is a crucial tool to support effective communication and decision-making under complex and uncertain environments of disasters by enhancing cognitive capacity of emergency managers. With the continuous influence and evolution of communication technologies, information sharing and decision-making has drastically changed and affects each phase of emergency management. Researchers continue to investigate the relationship of human involvement for spreading public safety information through ICT. With each disaster holding diverse characteristics influencing prediction, detection, and specific activities required for prevention, mitigation, response and recovery, the need for interoperable and dependable communication infrastructure, a common operating picture, and supportive regulations, policies, and practice greatly increases. Although a national public safety communication system was proposed, there are implementation challenges between local, state, and federal agencies. This paper briefly examines the evolution of the use of ICT for public safety along with current trends, benefits and challenges, and future needs.

“…Furthermore, it assumes no network routing problem when using both the IP and light-IP architectures. In another approach, many integration solutions for WSN and MANET are using gateways [35][34] [26]. Because of the different address schemes and protocol architectures in both networks, there are some drawbacks of using gateways for integrating these networks, due to the dynamic topology and unexpected node-faults in both networks.…”

In the last decade, there has been an increase in the number of natural disasters and terrorist attacks that were massive in scale and civilian casualties. In most of these disaster situations, rescue operations have been carried out on large scale. This paper assumes a heterogeneous network disaster recovery scenario and proposes a cost effective and easy to deploy hybrid communication system to achieve rescuers' requirements and cooperation. Designing a new protocol for hybrid network with different access protocols and with mobility and failures poses several challenges. The proposed protocol uses the Inter-Domain Messaging (IDM) framework to achieve the goal. The simulation shows the functionality of the hybrid protocol model (non-IP routing protocol), and maintains routes without the lower layer detection of link breaks.

“…Such events may include fire, earthquakes, and others critical scenarios. In such scenarios, communication networks may be used to retrieve information from sensors that determine the state of the area and to help occupants evacuate onto safe ground [1].…”

We present a framework for calculating efficient routes to evacuate a single-story building during a fire. The presented approach includes the processing of information collected from a sensor network, deployed with high granularity in an indoor environment, an algorithm to calculate evacuation routes, and dissemination of route information to occupants. The deployed sensors determine the state of whether a well-defined area of a building is transitable or blocked. The collection of transitable areas is used to determine evacuation paths. Route calculation is based on the A* algorithm. We evaluate the performance of the proposed framework under the event of a fire. We consider routing with safety margins on the distance between an occupant and the fire to increase the probability of success of evacuation under a spreading fire. We also show that the information provided by a fully functional information network adopting the proposed framework facilitates the evacuation to the extent that an occupant experiences little or no confusion as to where to exit for fires spreading at different speeds. In general, we see that an occupant may easily be routed to the exit to which evacuation may take the shortest time and that changes of evacuation routes hardly occur.
