Abstract
This work presents a literature review on the creation of a cognitively salient wayfinding aid for emergency first responders. The importance of the topic as well as the contributing areas are discussed. Areas include indoor naviga-tion, cognitive aspects of wayfinding, and representations of space. A study focused on determining the interactions of first responders with spatial in-formation is proposed to help fill the gaps in the literature.
