Abstract
Public safety plays an important role in what concerns the social welfare of citizens, thus impacting their quality of life. There are different mechanisms (e.g., police, firefighters) in place to help citizens feel safe, and the citizens themselves may have a more proactive posture (e.g., neighborhood watch). The proposed Android application, called CIMPL, targets the willingness of these model citizens in engaging in public safety efforts and the capabilities of their mobile personal devices to improve social welfare. CIMPL allows users to opportunistically exchange public safety content among their devices. This content, produced by users, identifies potential hazard situations, and is used to duly notify the authorities involved in the maintenance of public safety.

Centrality is given by the number of times a node acted as relay in the communication path of two other nodes.
