Network Enabled Disaster management
Demonstration of Advances in ICT standards for Public Warning
ITU October 20, 2006
Guy Weets
Deputy Head of Unit
ICT for the Environment’
ICT for environmental risk management
General Goal:
To develop a EU Network Enabled Capability
to support disaster risk management and
humanitarian crisis
¾
¾
¾
¾
Full Geo-Spatial data interoperability
Real time, sensor based monitoring systems
All hazards all media alert systems,
Shared operational picture and situational awareness
¾ Full availability of broadband communications and
positioning
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 2
Our Strategic approach
•
To focus on system architecture rather than
specific applications ( standards based architecture)
•
•
To support large scale pilot test with end-users
To foster pre-standardisation activities as an
integral part of RTD
•
To promote open source as a mean to improve the
uptake of RTD results
•
To contribute to the relevant EU policies and
actions: INSPIRE, GMES, GEOSS, Civil Protection
•
To cover the whole disaster management cycle
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 3
Covering the whole cycle
•
Sucessful warning systems depends on the quality of
the emergency management chain
¾ Reliable detection of the threat
¾ Reliable processing of information
¾ Protocol to determine when and how a warning should be issued
¾ Effectiveness of the warning system
• How many people will be reached?
•
But also on a number of non technical issues
• Is ther an emergency plan?
• Will they take the expected actions?

Network enabled disaster management
•
Three main group of future activities
1. Collaborate and Plan
2. Sense and Share
3. Command and Communicate
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 7
1- Collaborate and plan
•
System of systems approach
¾Dynamic sharing, collaboration and planning
¾Towards the « Single Information Space for the
Environment in Europe»
• Cross-sector integration of standards
•
Based on emerging technologies
¾Semantic web
¾Grid, secured gateways, single sign-on, IPv6,QoS etc.
•
Prototype and take-up of ‘state of the art’
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 8
2- Sense and share
•
Network centric capability able to sense in
real time, interpret and share knowledge
¾Operationally immature technologies
• Real-time sensing, simulation, interpretation & decision
– Specific to each disaster type
– The citizen as a intelligent moving sensor (112)
• System capability: Scalability, mobility, security
• Continue current work on SensorWeb, intelligent self-healing
sensor networks,
• Reseach supported by ICT for the environment and the
security programme
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 9
3- Command and Communicate
Example of work in progress
•
interface between emergency agencies for exchanging information
during the operations (Tactical Situation Object)
• Based on NATO standards and on a rich and expandable dictionary
¾ Identification information:
• the identifier, the originator of the information and the date of creation of the TSO
¾ Description of the event:
• type of the event, its extent, the number of casualties, the consequences on the
environment, its criticality
¾ Description of the resources:
• which resources are already used, which resources are available
¾ Description of the missions:
• the tasks which are on-going, their status, the teams and resources which are
engaged for them, their planning
¾ CAP and TSO are slightly overlapping, both can be used for the event
description, a mapping between TSO and CAP 1.0 is proposed
• TSO is based on a common data dictionary which enhance its capabilities to
handle multi-lingual exchange. Cooperation with OASIS most welcome

From RTD to Innovation
Competitiveness and
Innovation Programme
Best practices
Feedback to policies i.e;
Civil protection mechanism,
spectrum policy etc.
Public Safety Communication Europe
use RTD results
Propose RTD actions
Standardisation activities
ITU, CEN, OASIS, OGC
EMTEL, MESA,
3GPP, TETRA2 etc.

PSCE Mission statement
The Public Safety Communication Europe
forum aims at influencing, by
consensus building, excellence in the
development and use of public safety
communications and information
management systems to improve the
provision of public safety services and
the safety of the citizens of Europe and
elsewhere in the world.
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 12
PSCE Objectives
¾ To consolidate the published user requirements
European User Functional Specification
into a high level
¾
To improve public safety/civil protection service delivery to the public
by the production and promotion of a Road Map for future
technological development
¾
To advise and influence policy makers, regulators and standard
making bodies, improve national and international inter-operability
¾
To maintain European leadership in specification and provision of
public safety and civil protection communications and information
management systems
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 13
PSCE approach
¾ Creating a Public Safety Communication Forum which will
establish a European platform and roadmap for future public
safety communication
¾
The PSC Forum will include Conferences and will carry out
other activities between the Conferences, designed to further
consult public safety users, system providers and operators
¾
Once established, it is anticipated that the Forum will continue
after the end of the project.
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 14
PSCE approach
¾ The Forum will be structured as a process which will culminate
in 5 conferences and in a number of discussions by electronic
forums, workshops, discussion/working group etc.
¾
The work of the Forum will also contribute to the preparation of
a communication from the Commission to the Council and the
Parliament
¾
The Forum will also function as a consultation process, by
which the public safety end user community will be mobilized
and high level Public Safety Communication stakeholders and
decision makers will be involved

PSCE Electronic forum
¾ This @Forum will be an open electronic discussion forum
addressing the different key issues of public safety
communication and information management systems
¾
The topics will be placed on the @Forum Bulletin Board by the
@Forum moderators, and invite for an open discussion
¾
Each moderator will lead the discussions and be responsible for
proposing conclusions and recommendations
¾ This @Forum activity intends to stimulate a continuous
communication between users (citizens/authorities), regulatory
bodies and industry as well as the system developers and
standardization bodies
Guy Weets September,2006 - Page 17
PSCE Events
¾ First networking session will take place during
IST 2006 in Helsinki, Finland, 22nd November, 2006
¾
It is planned 5 Forum Annual Conferences within the initial 3
years of the Forum, with the first Annual Conference to take
place in Brussels in May 2007
