What are the priority technologies to take forward?What underutilized, existing technologies

should be rolled out? What needs to happen to do this (e.g. awareness-raising, training, etc.)What existing technologies should be

adapted to work better in crisis settings? What needs to happen to do this (e.g. consultations, pilot testing, etc.)What new technologies should be

developed? What needs to happen to do this (e.g. consultations, pilot testing, etc.)

How will field input be incorporated into TWG activities?How will the TWG interface with product developers / manufacturers?
