A vast majority of emergency response scenarios have two distinguishing characteristics: an overflow of data and a lack of resources to handle this increase in data. This surge of data within a resource and bandwidth constrained network may cause congestion collapse, and prevent critical data from reaching decision makers in time. Thus it is crucial to have in place a system that allows for high priority data to reach emergency responders and key personnel with minimal delay, allowing them to effectively respond to critical issues as soon as they occur. In this paper, we present TRIAGE, a framework that prioritizes data based on user context, message content and role.
