An Enhanced Framework for Rescue Service in Pakistan

In Pakistan, Rescue 1122 is the most commonly operational rescue service. This rescue service uses a call-based system where a help-seeker calls the rescue station in case of any help. The help-seeker communicates the information about his location and the nature of the incident. However, the response time to each help-seeker according to their location is comparatively slow. One of the major reasons is that the help-seeker could not tell their precise location over the phone. Another cause for the slow response time is fake calls and knowledge about the severity of the incidents. Therefore in this study, we have proposed a new framework to report the incidents. The framework consists of three parts that include a user, a station and the admin. The framework is implemented using the android based application for the help-seeker and the web applications for the station and the admin. We tested the application to know the effectiveness of reporting the incidents through a survey. The results show that the help-seekers can easily report the incidents using our application.
