Abstract:
In this paper, we present a thorough overview of the two recently developed applications in the field of
emergency management. The applications titled GDACSmobile and SmartRescue are using mobile app and
smartphone sensors as the main functionality respectively. Furthermore, we argue the differences and
similarities of both applications and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, a critical scenario for
fire emergency in a music festival is designed and the applicability of the features of each application in
supporting the emergency management procedure is discussed. It is also argued how the aforementioned
applications can support each other during emergencies and what the potential collaboration between them
can be.
