The operator sent an SMS to the citizens and could then follow the fire development via the citizen's phone. The live stream was available in emergency vehicles, emergency services and operations managers, as well as the police. The fire developed very quickly. It therefore became necessary to evacuate all the residents of the property.
The residents were evacuated to an evacuation center set up by the Greater Copenhagen Fire Department.What was the overall goal of the Use Case?
To ensure the evacuation of the affected citizens and support their need for information about the incident and their situation. Thus, it was clearly communicated that it was not possible to return to the apartments.
