Supporting urban search and rescue with digital assessments of structures and requests of response resources (2012)
Journal Article
Chen, A., Peña-Mora, F., Plans, A., Mehta, S., & Aziz, Z. (2012). Supporting urban search and rescue with digital assessments of structures and requests of response resources. Advanced engineering informatics, 26(4), 833-845. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aei.2012.06.004

First responders, including structural engineers and firefighters, inspect buildings and identify the structural integrity of buildings within a disaster affected area. The performance of their inspection and dissemination of the assessment informati...
