Computer Aided Dispatch
Here is an interesting article about computer aided dispatch being implemented in St. Charles County, Missouri (from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch via EMSResponder.com).
People in St. Charles County who have emergencies should get the help they need faster, thanks to a new radio system being installed in ambulances and firetrucks.The system provides fire and EMS crews with text directions and map readouts, and lets the crews notify dispatchers they are on the way without using a radio.
Cool stuff, but it will be awhile before this technology is affordable for all emergency responders.
