1. A disaster response system, comprising:
a communication infrastructure including a plurality of sensor assemblies configured to:
generate data indicative of at least one of environmental conditions, motion, position, chemical detection, and medical information; and
wirelessly provide the generated data to the communication infrastructure,
wherein at least one of the sensor assemblies generates data indicative of a position of the at least one sensor assembly;
an incident command infrastructure configured to:
exchange data with the communication infrastructure; and
detect an incident based on the data from the sensor assemblies;
an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to deliver a payload in response to the detected incident and to a location indicated by the data from the at least one sensor assembly, wherein the at least one sensor assembly is separate from the UAV; and
a phone device configured to:
exchange data with the communication infrastructure;
periodically cache a local map into a memory of the phone device responsive to the phone device entering a new zone or geographic region; and
provide the cached local map to a user in response to the detected incident.
