Abstract
The mobile phone is one of the technologies which are widely used these days. It is available in most countries and all people, even children and elderly people can use it. It seems that in the near future, each person will have at least one mobile phone. So it is a good choice for communication in emergency situations, such as a heart attack or after an earthquake. In this chapter, we will survey a number of systems which are designed for communication in emergency situations and then explain three systems which are developed by the authors. The first one is for locating and rescuing victims after an earthquake. The second system is for calling an emergency team by patients in emergency situations. The third system is for finding lost people with amnesia. In addition, we review some of related works which use mobile phones for communication in emergency.
