iTEK - Innovative Technologies for European Disaster Response : part 2 ; Escape route: Technologies for First Responders
Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: This second white paper of the iTEK series examines the technological dimension of disaster management. Building on the operational needs identified in the first publication, it maps key digital technology fields that support the work of first responders—ranging from data acquisition and processing to automation, infrastructure, and communication. The analysis draws on literature review, expert interviews, market research, and observations during large-scale exercises. Particular attention is given to interoperability, harmonized data formats, and resilient data spaces that enable the exchange of georeferenced information across organizations and borders. By synthesizing current developments and research trends, the paper outlines priorities for future innovation and highlights how integrated, standards-based technologies can enhance Europe’s disaster preparedness, response, and resilience.
