Abstract: The LPF was developed by NLM for possible future use by BHEPP during emergencies in the National Capitol Region. BHEPP was established to improve community disaster preparedness and response in Bethesda, Maryland and includes the National Naval Medical Center, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, and Suburban Hospital/Johns Hopkins Medicine. Multi-agency exercises identified a need for a tool to help reunify families during a crisis, in particular as disaster victims are brought to medical facilities for care. The LPF system is designed to allow first responders to submit photographs and descriptive information about disaster victims (name (if known), age group, gender, status, and location) to a Web site that other family members can search to locate loved ones. The system has been designed to share data with other lost-person finder systems, including the system established by Google, but it provides additional functionality not available in these other systems, including the capability to upload photographs from camera-equipped cell phones and to search by information other than name.
