Intended learning outcomes

The students will get a good overview over today’s systems for rescue and response. This includes organization of the systems, how they can be analyzed, planned and controlled. After the course, the students should:

Be able to account for and critically discuss the organization and function of today’s response and rescue systems.
Understand and be able to use appropriate methods for analyzing rescue systems and for planning and control of the system resources.
Be able to describe technical tools that are functional within the systems and be able to handle a selection of these tools
Be able to design and organize new systems for response and rescue, taking into account different factors from the society

Course content

Presentation of rescue and response systems, including fire and rescue services, emergency medical services, police, alarm centers as well as the organization and control of these.
Analysis of rescue and response systems, for example as to regard to cooperation opportunities and difficulties, command and control structures, organization, planning and practical realization of the services.
Presentation, analysis and use of, for the subject, appropriate planning, control and analysis methods such as for example forecasting, resource planning, localization models and methods.
Presentation and use of technical tools that can be used in the systems, for example GIS-tools and planning systems.

Teaching and working methods

The course will consist of lectures and seminars. The lectures will discuss the main part of the theoretical content, while the seminars will be dedicated to case works and assignments. The laboratory work will mainly consist of computer assisted exercises and assignments. Relevant field trips will be taken as a part of the course. .
