Abstract: Abstract During search and rescue (SAR) operations, information plays a significant role in empowering the emergency response personnel at various levels. But, understanding the information which is being shared between/among emergency personnel is necessary to improve current coordination systems. However, such systems can help the first responders to gain/increase their situational awareness and coordination. Moreover, there is still the lack of automatic and intelligent tools that can contribute to structure, categorize, and visualize the communicated content that occur during SAR operations. Therefore, in this paper, we present the concept of such analysis by using the qualitative methodology and current findings from an indoor fire game. The result shows first responders’ communicated content and their corresponding content categories. This approach, therefore, provides a better way to learn about exchanged information and relevant information categories from videotaped data.
