Medical and psycho-social support of crisis
management operations is vital. Stress and
traumata of victims, eye witnesses and the
response forces itself have a strong impact on
the dimension and magnitude of a crisis, and
effective intervention strategies and related
support should be developed respectively
existing approaches consequently enhanced
and best practices shared on European level.

ESRIF FINAL REPORT - ANNEX II
Research should
> investigate and improve the ability of all actors to
flexibly cooperate with multiple organisations in order to
cope with fast developing and changing crisis situations
(multi-dimensional, multi-national, multi-agency,
spacious or remote, etc.),
36 4 Co-operation The growing complexity of crises situations
and their response needs counts also for the
number of persons, agencies, authorities and
organisations involved in dealing with crises.
> identify and develop cross-cultural needs capabilities
(e.g. overcoming language barriers) for crisis managers.
Core area is communications technology.

Research should
> focus on appropriate on-site diagnostic and victim
identification technology to support first line response
teams in dealing with specific crisis, which will assist in
rescuing and identifying people as well as providing
information to those organisations supporting the first
line of response (e.g. information on the status of
patients provided to hospitals in advance to help them
being prepared).
> deliver credentials to victims for identity management.
The credentials must have a limited live-time redundant
with live-time of the information stored in a victim’s
database to be used during the crisis it-self.
Response forces need state-of-the-art
technical equipment in the field of sensors,
communications and utilities. However, the
most promising way to strengthen and
enforcing crisis response forces is to bundle
and deepen all efforts on European level, in the
Member States and by the private sector in the
broad area of education, training and
exercises.
