CivTech 10.1 - How can technology be used to improve situational awareness for emergency responders, before, during and after a wide range of incidents — looking first at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service?

Within the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) responders are faced with a limited ability to access accurate real-time data and information on the scale of the incident to determine resources required both before, during and after incidents.  This Challenge needs to be solved in order to equip fire fighters with accurate and reliable information, continuing to improve Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s (SFRS) ability to save and preserve life and protect the public through prevention and response. It will also improve the safety of fire fighters and improve incident commander decision making.
