ST1: Lesson 6 Smart Emergency Response Dispatch System
Can software really coordinate fire, police, and ambulance units in seconds?
In this KS3 / lower secondary computing lesson, students explore how emergency call details are recorded by the operating system, how application software supports unit allocation, and how online tools reveal live locations and routes. Learners engage with a multi-incident simulation and classify tasks into the correct software layers.
This lesson builds on ST1_5 by expanding system responsibility from internal alerts to full-scale, city-wide emergency response — showing how software categories coordinate in live networked environments.
Through this, students uncover:
• How systems software handles files, memory, and devices during emergencies
• What the application software does to support dispatcher decision-making
• How online tools enable live mapping and GPS routing
• The concept of layered software control in mission-critical systems
• Why data flow and system interdependence matter in real-time public safety
