Abstract
At emergency services around the world, the use of IT is oftentimes still limited to the stationary HQ dispatch system. This paper suggests how to overcome this limitation by introducing a Mobile Information and Communi cation System for Emergency Services, MIKoBOS, that digitally links the emergency site with the central dispatch system. For use in the situation room and beyond, digLT is presented, a digital situation table with Fovea-Tabletts®, allowing a team of experts to more easily develop a common picture of major emergency situations they are to manage. An actual emergency response sce nario is used to discuss how these technologies may be applied and integrated.
