A Survey on Ad Hoc Networks for Disaster Scenarios

This survey paper is intended to provide an overview of the main ad hoc paradigms that can be applied to disaster response networks, highlighting their applicability to important tasks in disaster relief operations. In this way, we also review the main works found in the literature which employed ad hoc networks in disaster scenarios. Finally, we provide open challenges and future research directions based on what has already been proved and what is still requiring further research.
