Abstract

We developed a system that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) tags both as the source of location information and as data storage units to record messages or information in disaster situations. Our system uses hybrid RFID tags, which consist of a passive (non-battery) tag and an active (battery-driven) tag. The system has been evaluated in disaster prevention trainings by local communities and rescue teams.
