Critical feature is realtime, "come as you are" adaptive linked computers and people
Judgement support extends decision support into an "exploratorium" scenario as crises tend to be unexpected
Major need to search community and government databases for immediate information on resource location and availability etc. Metadata(summaries) essential
Collaboration between commander in field , specialized anchor desks (domain experts) and those in field.
User Interface essential as user will be tired and searching unfamiliar data
Geographical Information Systems and browsing multiple video sources (InfoVision again) will be critical as judgements will depend critically on spatial data.
