Emergency factor inputs.

Affected	It represents how the area is affected by an emergency. High values increase potential risk and low values the opposite.
Injuries	It describes the possibility of people being injured. High values increase potential risk.
SAR team position	It describes the location of the SAR team, e.g., how close to the emergency area they are. Indeed if the spot is already covered, the necessity of going to that point is cancelled.
