The document discusses the future of emergency response management and the role that real-time emergency response (rtER) technologies could play. It describes how rtER allows emergency operations centers to integrate large amounts of citizen-submitted video data and social media information. This helps emergency managers gain better situational awareness and coordinate response efforts. The document also notes that current networks may not be able to handle extremely large volumes of multimedia data from the public. It concludes by questioning how rtER could change the way emergency operations centers function.
