The rapid development of 6G technology promises to revolutionize wireless communication and bring significant advancements in various industries. Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) applications require cutting-edge communication technology to meet their low latency, high-speed, and bandwidth requirements for effective decision-making support during emergencies. This paper presents a federated framework for the 5G-EPICENTRE project that allows various testbeds to federate and share resources for emergency situations. The proposed federated framework can provide flexible and efficient utilization of resources, enabling more effective PPDR applications to be connected and utilized. To further enhance the performance of PPDR applications, we propose a scheduler that optimizes Network Service (NS) placement for Cloud and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) resources to improve the overall performance of PPDR applications. Our approach aims to reduce latency and efficiently offload services to empower first responders to make critical decisions during emergencies. This approach is expected to improve the overall performance of the PPDR applications and empower first responders to make critical decisions in emergency situations.
