ObjectiveBackground
Relief workers and rescue teams have difficulty communicating with one another, with victims, and with local emergency centers for rapid assessment and secure information sharing. Remote sites often cannot see what is currently happening in other areas of crisis. Messaging in written text format is a slower means of communicating than video-VOIP. Audio requires a spoken distraction or sound without sight - a significant reduction in understanding and one that takes dedicated time from a valuable site resource.
ObjectiveGoals
Use encrypted Video-VOIP to report from a remote site to a local Emergency Operations Center. Record and playback selected video content upon request for urgent relief operations and improved shared situational awareness.
