12.1 | 3 | In SYNERGISE, we distinguish between two First Responder departments: Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and Fire Department (FD).

At the end of the overview, some new actors are identified that do not currently exist, but that may need to be included when new technologies are introduced. |
