| Abstract | In recent years, spontaneous volunteers often turned out to be a critical factor to overcome disaster situations and avoid further damages to life and assets. These Volunteers coordinate their activities using social media and mobile devices but are not integrated in usual command and control structures of disaster responders. The lack of professional disaster response knowledge leads to a waste of potential workforce or even dangerous situations for the volunteers. In this paper, a novel approach for a centralized coordination of spontaneous volunteers through disaster response professionals while using popular communication channels esp. messaging services (e.g. Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp) is presented. The architecture of a volunteer coordination system focusing on automated multi-channel communication is shown and the possibilities of a universal chatbot for individual assignment and scheduling of volunteers are discussed. The paper also provides first insights in a demonstrator system as a practical solution. |
