Method and system for using a situational network

A system for sharing information and controlling communications between a plurality of devices related to an occurrence or expected occurrence of an emergency event using a situational network, the system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• based at least in part on the occurrence or the expected occurrence of the emergency event:
• create a projection of the plurality of devices, the projection comprising a subset of the plurality of devices, wherein the projection is created based on respective locations of devices of the plurality of devices;
• join the subset of the plurality of devices to a group in the situational network, and providing group communication capability via the situational network, for accessing information associated with the emergency event to the subset of the plurality of devices using the group communication capability;
• gather status information from each device of the subset of the plurality of devices joined to the group;
• generate aggregated status information gathered at least from each device of the subset of the plurality of devices joined to the group, wherein the aggregated status information is shared among the subset of the plurality of devices according to respective access levels of devices of the subset of the plurality of devices;
• allow access to the aggregated status information based on the respective access levels of devices of the subset of the plurality of devices
• wherein, when communications bandwidth available in the situational network is low, the access to the aggregated status information is prioritized for devices with a particular access level, and restricted for devices with an access level other than the particular access level
• wherein the respective access levels of devices of the subset of the plurality of devices are based on respective roles of users associated with the respective devices of the subset of the plurality of devices relative to the occurrence or the expected occurrence of the emergency event.
