Abstract

This paper discusses a model for an emergency response system. The model is based on a review of the literature and the incorporation of lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina response. The paper takes a holistic view of a system in that an Emergency Response System is viewed as including emergency response members, procedures, and the organization as well as the ICT components of the system.
