Abstract
The widespread availability of mobile devices offers enormous opportunities for first responders to have instant access to sources of information, and collaborate with one another when responding to an emergency. Although various knowledge management systems have been developed in different domains, no mobile knowledge management application so far has been developed in the area of emergency or crisis management. This study addresses various technical requirements for a mobile knowledge management application specifically designed for first responders to an emergency or crisis.
