Abstract
The current state of emergency communication is dispatch-mediated i.e. the messages from the scene are directed to responders and agencies through the dispatch. Emergency dispatch provides essential support to emergency responders during emergencies. However, there are several problems associated with the dispatch-mediated communication. Utilizing IBM’s message modeling concept, we develop a messaging model to provide support for computer-mediated communication (CMC) systems.
