This dataset is collected during a flood exercise scenario in the framework of the ARTION project. The operation took place on the 21st of February 2021 on the shore of an artificial lake in Achna, in Cyprus (coordinates: 35.055556, 33.812222), in order to simulate a realistic flood management scenario. The operations included: water pumping, establishment and operation of an emergency operation center and first aid station, and search and rescue of thee missing persons (one found in the water). The exercise was organized and conducted by the Cyprus Civil Defence and data collection was performed by the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence of the University of Cyprus. The dataset consists of .csv files, each containing a trace, that is, the location of the mobile phone captured by the built-in GPS receiver of the phone approximately every one second. The mobile phones were held by first responders during their operation.
