18 18  === **Action Sequence** ===
19 19  
20 -1. **Sensor Setup and Readiness**
21 - a. Wearables are distributed and calibrated at staging area.
22 - b. Each responder confirms correct placement and pairing.
23 - c. System diagnostics confirm connectivity to C3I and health monitoring software.
24 -1. **Monitoring and Local Alerts**
25 - a. Wearables measure vitals (e.g. heart rate, temp, hydration).
26 - b. Local LED/sound alerts notify responder of rising stress or danger.
27 - c. Non-critical data is logged passively for review.
28 -1. **Remote Monitoring and Escalation**
29 - a. Safety officer observes all live health feeds via dashboard.
30 - b. Alerts for critical thresholds trigger visual/audio warnings.
31 - c. Team leader is notified and confirms next action (pause, replace, extract).
32 -1. **Medical Decision and Evacuation**
33 - a. Medic evaluates responder if thresholds persist.
34 - b. If required, team extracts responder for treatment.
35 - c. Info logged and synced to medical HQ for continuity of care.
36 -1. **Command-Level Operational Adjustment**
37 - a. Based on patterns, team rotations or routes are adjusted.
38 - b. System records trends for debrief and post-mission reporting.
26 +1. **Deployment and Initial Positioning**
27 + a. Command or team lead requests drone support for external area overview.
28 + b. Drone operator launches drone, checks connectivity and RTK accuracy.
29 + c. Live feed is shared with teams and command center.
30 +1. **Initial Area Assessment**
31 + a. Drone hovers and performs a wide pass along the operational area.
32 + b. Camera operator or analyst identifies terrain features and visible hazards.
33 + c. Findings are noted by command staff for initial planning and worksite layout.
34 +1. **Detailed Look Upon Request**
35 + a. A responder team or command staff requests specific inspection (e.g. rooftop stability, exit blockage).
36 + b. Operator manually moves drone and zooms in for closer inspection.
37 + c. Team uses footage for tactical decision-making or confirmation before approach.
38 +1. **Data Sharing and Coordination**
39 + a. Screenshots or annotated video are shared across teams.
40 + b. Visual information is added to digital maps or discussed in team briefings.
41 + c. Drone remains in overwatch or is redirected to the next location.
