Implementation of end-to-end incident management processes in a unified IMS
Information technology plays a key role during large scale search and rescue operations, such as those carried out by the Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue (ICE-SAR). Systems used by incident managers must support their processes and actions, and enable fast and efficient information gathe...
