When disaster strikes various agencies get involved. These organizations require diverse information for coordination of public emergency services in order to save lives and property. Amongst all, the effectiveness of emergency management depends on both data sources and effectiveness of communication flow between first responders on the field and disaster managers in commando centers. In this process, the management of positions of responders on the field is of critical importance.

In this paper we survey important technology applicable for disaster management and define system requirements for management of moving objects and context profiles of end-users.
