Mark Neerincx 2.11 6 Synergise aims to advance emergency response **team performance**.
Mark Neerincx 2.7 7
Mark Neerincx 2.9 8 **Effectiveness **concerns the extent to which the mission goals are achieved, such as finding and evacuating victims, securing the environment (e.g. containment) and fire extinguishing,
Mark Neerincx 2.7 9
Mark Neerincx 2.16 10 * Synergise technology objective: Provide the **exploration, sensing and communication means** to build and maintain the situation awareness and planning for rescuing victims and securing environments after an incident,
Mark Neerincx 2.3 11
Mark Neerincx 2.9 12 **Efficiency **concerns the degree to which the team uses resources (time, equipment, personnel, information) in a way that minimizes waste and maximizes timely outcomes.
Mark Neerincx 2.8 13
Mark Neerincx 2.16 14 * Synergise technology objective: Provide an overview of **resource availability and utilization** over time, for the current situation and planning,

Mark Neerincx 2.11 18 Synergise aims to support the **physical and mental integrity of the emergency responders** so they can perform effectively during the missing and recover safely after.
Mark Neerincx 2.8 19
Mark Neerincx 2.14 20 **Health** concerns emergency responders' physical and mental well-being (so, also considering the effects of operations after the mission). It includes for example  work-related fatigue, physical and mental workload, and stress.  Ensuring recovery time and managing trauma are approaches to reduce long-term health risks.
Mark Neerincx 2.2 21
Mark Neerincx 2.11 22 * Synergise technology objective: **Monitor the physical and mental state** of emergency responders during extreme conditions to detect health risks at an early stage (exhaustion, heat stress, toxic exposure, emotional strain).
Mark Neerincx 2.3 23
Mark Neerincx 2.14 24 **Safety** concerns emergency responders' immediate protection from harm or injury. It includes for example safety protocols, risk avoidance strategies, and the usage of protective equipment and clothing. Avoiding (a) building collapse, (b) exposure to toxic materials  and (c) threats of violence are approaches to reduce safety risks.
Mark Neerincx 2.4 25
Mark Neerincx 2.13 26 * Synergise technology objective: Provide **overviews and warnings of environment conditions**, ensuring that each team member maintains the situation awareness needed to avoid the hazards.

Mark Neerincx 2.16 30 Synergise aims to support **continuous learning** during and after emergency missions, so that individuals, teams, and organizations can adapt effectively in real time and systematically improve future preparedness, coordination, and performance (advancing team resilience).
Mark Neerincx 2.10 31
Mark Neerincx 2.15 32 **Lessons learned** concern the extraction and documentation of insights and best practices for training, protocols and planning.
Mark Neerincx 2.12 33
Mark Neerincx 2.15 34 * Synergise technology objective: Refinement of **standard operational procedures** to utilize the new technology in a effective, efficient, healthy and safe way.
35
Mark Neerincx 2.14 36 **Patterns **concern successful ways of collaboration, coordination and communication between responders (possibly mediated by technology) and between responders and "technological agents" (like robots).
37
Mark Neerincx 2.15 38 * Synergise technology objective: Build a **pattern library** of successful technology integration into emergency response operations for re-use.
