The typical requirements, entities and activities in-volved in specifically mobile emergency response operations are summarized. Recent research contributions in this area are exemplarily reviewed in order to give a deeper insight into the role and use of mobile information and communi-cation systems. Finally, the major challenges and research needs regarding in-formation systems are summarized, with a view to draw the attention of infor-mation systems researchers to this interesting and important field.}, edition = {1}, isbn10 = {3540789413}, isbn13 = {978-3540789413}, keywords = {Emergency response, disaster management, information systems, mobile information and communication technology}, language = {EN}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/Information and Communication Systems for Mobile Emergency Response.pdf}, talktype = {none} }
