During disaster events, timely and targeted information provision and exchange could provide great help to the stricken population in difficult and complicated environments. This chapter reports a service-oriented system, called BlockchainDisaster Rescue Wings, for providing emergency support to sufferers and rescuers in disasters. The authors identify the most frequent request sequence patterns (FRSP) of Rescue Wings, and develop a new application for efficiently scheduling the requests to minimize the response delay. The system has been tested in several disaster rescue drills, and has been successfully applied.
