Abstract :
In recent years, many network systems to provide disaster information have been proposed. However, any network system to provide such real time for rescue activities has not been proposed. Then, this paper proposes a new wireless network system for rescue activities at distressed area. The main feature of our system is, providing sufferes information in real time to the disaster countermeasures office. In order to realize the system, we developed a wireless control station called "ANPI", and the program to share all sufferer\´s information with all shelters.
