Abstract
Emergency response systems play an important role in homeland security nowadays. Despite this, research in the design of emergency response systems is lacking. An effective design of emergency response system involves multi-disciplinary design considerations. On the basis of emergency response system requirement analysis, in this paper, we develop a set of supporting design concepts and strategic principles for an architecture for a coordinated multi-incident emergency response system
