<p>Efficient emergency response systems are vital for smart cities, facing unique challenges such as those in Chad, where infrastructure limitations compound the need for innovative solutions. The proliferation and maturation of numerous advanced computing technologies that can be used to improve emergency response efficiency is a sign that innovative solutions can actually be designed and implemented. This paper proposes a novel system architecture integrating Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Dijkstra's algorithm, and Edge Computing; the architecture aims to set out the context for the optimization of emergency response by accelerating route planning and resource allocation using FPGA-based computations and decentralized Edge Computing. The key components of this architecture and their main algorithms are described and studied in the paper. Provided analysis clearly outlines possibilities for improved response times and resource allocation, addressing specific challenges faced in Chadian-like contexts.</p>
