Basic idea is good, support the system with useful and readily available knowledge to support operations. Probably harder though to actually make decisions based on quality of data available.
Cloud-Based Electronic System May Help First Responders Better React to Natural Disasters
Purdue University News
By Chris Adam
Purdue University researchers have developed a cloud-based supply chain management system to help emergency responders track inventory and distribution in countries hit by natural disasters. Purdue's Yuehwern Yih and colleagues worked with first responders to understand their requirements when responding to areas struck by catastrophic events; the system is designed to replace paper forms and ad hoc spreadsheets often used in developing nations to track vital resources. Data can be entered offline for syncing to the system through Wi-Fi or network connections, and the full life cycle of items in the system can be traced. Yih said, "The Purdue system can provide real-time data to allow better tracking of supplies and aid so that help reaches those most in need." ... '
