Abstract

A portable system for assisting rescue personnel in disaster situations has been developed. The system consists of portable microwave terminals that function as message readers/writers/carriers and long-range, non-battery RFID tags that are ubiquitously placed along roadsides and function as information-storage units. Information such as location of refuges and the safety assessments of damaged buildings is remotely downloaded onto or uploaded from the tags by the terminals.
