4C4 First Responder

Increasing demands on relief units due to very diverse and often dynamically changing security circumstances as well as a desire for efficient workforce distribution require judicious use of new information and communication solutions. Spontaneous demonstrations, "flash mobs" or e.g. the incidents around the academic ball in Vienna are difficult to plan ahead spatially and therefore, there is often a considerable lack of information for various missions. Data and information for a targeted and efficient leadership are usually not available in a timely manner and at the required quality or cannot be timely distributed to individuals and teams, which makes the selection and coordination of appropriate measures in case of critical situations much more difficult. Effective interaction between different units or task forces is an essential factor for an optimized operational command and thus for a targeted and efficient use in different security scenarios. The project 4C4 Responder with several Austrian companies develops a communication manager for disaster management.
