| | 49 | == Dispatch issues == |
| | 50 | One of the biggest problems right now, which could potentially be easy to solve is Dispatch. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | Currently the OPCOM provides the EMS crew with the limited available information & then they deploy. There is no way to update the crews except for voice radio. Since all EMS crew have smartphones then a simple app to update the crea with the precise incident location & any extra information on scale, etc would be extremely valuable. |

| | 54 | A possible solution would be to use OpenGeoSMS. ITRI Taiwan have developed an OpenGeoSMS Android client which supports the following features: |
| | 55 | * Incident Reporting (simple 'Current Location + Text Field') |
| | 56 | * Task Dispatch (simple view received 'Location + Text' on Map) |
| | 57 | * Team Communication (again, simple 'Location + Text'): |
| | 58 | * Where I am |
| | 59 | * Where are you? |
| | 60 | * Where shall we meet? |
