1 Direct stakeholders interact directly with developed technologies. The tables below shows relevant stakeholders in Synergise, divided in general stakeholders and first responders. When we describe how these stakeholders collaborate with technologies, we may also refer to them as //actors. //

5 Generally, there are two types of stakeholders that will interact directly with the proposed technologies in Synergise. The term 'First Responder' is an umbrella term for different types of stakeholders. These stakeholders are further identified in the First Responders subsection.

8 |**First Responder (FR)**|Form the first response to incidents. INSARAG distinguishes between three First Response organisations: Civil Defence/Protection (police), Local Emergency Services (firefighters and emergency medical technician//, //EMTs), and Community First Responders. First responders can be //local //or //international//,// //if international help is requested for large incidents.
9 |**Victim **|(((
10 Victims can be direct stakeholders, when they have to interact directly with technologies. For example, if victims have to communicate with robot actors, they are directly affected by how these robot actors function.

13 == First Responders ==

15 In Synergise, we distinguish between two First Responder departments: Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and Fire Department (FD). These two department work closely together during an incident. At the end of the overview, some new actors are identified that do not currently exist, but that will need to be included when new technologies are introduced.
