Emergency Management Technology Tools: What's Working?

Because of the important role that emergency responders have in our society, the technology they use is specialized to meet responders’ unique needs. Even with technological advancements, challenges remain. Take a wildfire that borders a suburban neighborhood, for example. Responders must determine where that fire is spreading, what equipment is needed, and if residents need to evacuate. Another challenge is maintaining uninterrupted connectivity between first responders. This can often be disrupted by terrain and topography. Emergency management technology tools should be rugged and have reliable connectivity so responders can stay situationally aware in chaotic situations. And Panasonic Connect has mobile solutions and services to help teams increase situational awareness and coordinate effective responses.
