Abstract
Current technological progress allows the implementation of an innovative solution that would aid the work of emergency first responder personnel. However, managing crisis situations is highly dependable on the situational awareness factors. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual model of a crisis management platform which integrates several technologies such as UAVs, heat cameras, toxicity sensors, and also body wearable sensors, which are capable of aggregating all the information from the above-mentioned devices. By using the proposed innovative platform, we analyze how a decrease of tragical events within the emergency sites can be achieved.
