• Abstract:
  The goal of the REaCH (Real Time Emergency Communication System for HAZMAT Incidents) project was to develop a real-time interactive dashboard and application that captures and displays first responders' health data and environmental exposure information to an incident commander during a transportation HAZMAT (Hazardous Materials) incident or a fire call. The REaCH application monitors individual health parameters and alerts incident commanders if individuals need to be removed from the scene due to their health status being compromised. The REaCH application is a real-time communication network that utilizes the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to integrate multiple IoT sensors that capture human and environmental data. The application includes real-time health data monitoring of first responders and transportation workers through wearable devices. This report presents the activities during the six-year project.
