Abstract:
On May 3, 2004, NIST conducted a workshop to identify
information needs for emergency responders during
building emergencies. The workshop brought together
emergency responders with the goals of sharing the
vision of how the availability of building information
can impact emergency response, and to gain from
attendees guidance on what specific building information
would be of greatest benefit to public safety officials,
as well as how best to present it, and with what
security measures. Prior to the workshop, NIST prepared
a draft white paper detailing information needs of first
responders at different times for different emergencies.
During the workshop, the draft white paper served as a
starting point for discussion with fire, police, and
emergency medical responders. Based on workshop input,
the white paper was both confirmed and extended. The
revised paper is incorporated into this report.
