GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva
Current activities in Working Party 5A
Land Mobile Systems above 30 MHz*(excluding IMT); wireless access in the
fixed service; amateur and amateur-satellite services
• Draft New Report M.[PPDR] “Public protection and disaster relief
communications”.
This report addresses:
 the categorization of technical and operational requirements relating to
PPDR;
 the current use of narrow and wide-band PPDR;
 the mobile broadband PPDR services and applications including further
developments and the evolution of PPDR through advances in
technology;
 the needs of developing countries.
The Report is expected to be finalized and approved by ITU-R Study
Group 5 on 21 July 2015

Disaster relief by ITU
• ITU contributes to disaster prevention and response from
the telecommunication/ICT aspect since many years
• Disaster relief activities include preparation for possible
disasters, early detection, rescue, evacuation assistance,
safety confirmation, recovery assistance, etc.
• ITU and it’s partners deploy satellite terminals and other
emergency telecommunication equipment to affected
countries within the first 24 to 48 hours aftermath a
disaster to help restore vital communication links.
GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva
Mission of the Focus Group
• Disaster relief for individuals (notify damage situation
from victims)
• disaster relief guidance (show victims the routes to
evacuation shelters, home)
• Network resilience and recovery capability of
infrastructure to cope better with disasters

Integrated view of networks supporting
disaster relief services
GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva
ITU-R focus on disaster prediction,
detection, mitigation and relief
• Radiocommunications Assembly 2007 (RA-07) approved
Resolutions ITU-R 53 and ITU-R 55 instructing all ITU-R
Study Groups to carry out studies on the use of
radiocommunications in disaster prediction, detection,
mitigation and relief.
• In 2012 RA-12 revised and confirmed those Resolutions
• WRC-12 agreed upon Agenda Item 1.3 for WRC-15: “to
review and revise Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC 12) for
broadband public protection and disaster relief (PPDR), in
accordance with Resolution 648 (WRC-12)”. In addition,
WRC-12 revised Resolutions 644, 646, and 647.
• Nearly every Study Group within the ITU-R has a role to
play in Disaster Relief
