*Abstract

Many recent incidents are emerging whereby common people very often are caught in emergency situations like mass shootings, explosions, industrial accidents, etc. Due to the large volume of people (very likely) at or near locations of such emergency situations, it is extremely imperative that responses and recoveries are coordinated effectively. Unfortunately, though, there are no existing services that meet needs today, as a result of which casualties increase, responses to emergency events are slow and inefficient, people's confidence erodes, and financial losses also accrue.In this disclosure, a computer science researcher and computer science students discuss a smart-phone app jointly developed that provides critical and personalized services for civilians, government and law enforcement officers in the event of emergencies. The app will connect civilians to agencies like FEMA for enabling coordinate responses, while also enabling peers help each other on a need basis. The features of the app area. Easily installable app. There are two versions: a regular version (V1) for common citizens and a special version (V2) for users who may wish to aid common citizens in the event of an emergencyb. Immediate connection to a server whose IP address is set up by appropriate agencies (for example FEMA, or local law enforcement) for emergency purposes.c. Real-time map of location of event that updates as the user moves.
