Abstract
A method for rescue support involves distributing transponder devices to individuals in a geographic region and causing the transponder devices to be activated. If a large-scale emergency situation occurs, a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles are operated within the geographic region to receive distress signals transmitted by the activated transponder devices. A computer system processes the distress signals to obtain detection data for the individuals, the detection data comprising a location of the respective transponder device and a health status of the respective individual. The computer system generates, based on the location and health status of the respective individual, a prioritization chart for the geographic region, the prioritization chart being indicative of one or more sub-regions to be prioritized for a rescue operation.
