Hazard
Emergency Management System
Main
components
-
Data acquisition and management tools (OMSFAR);
-
Risk analysis;
-
Simulation module (rainfall-runoff and routing models in a flood, other simulation models in other types of hazard);
-
Alert system (knowledge-based/expert system to trigger an alert in extreme situations);
-
Emergency management system (to manage the emergency response by civil protection agents in a hazard);
-
Training system (virtual simulator to train civil protection personnel)
-
Communication system (data transmission, alert and warning transmissions, …)
Some
of these components seem to be covered in the JPA.
LNEC
is mainly interested in contributing to the Emergency Management System (EMS)
(Computer Emergency Response??) and the Training Simulator (TS).
EMS
Objective:
To create an
application that implements the emergency plan. It gives access to all relevant
information to accompany the crises and, at the same time, orients the civil
protection agents to follow the pre-defined response procedures and measures.
Workpackages
WP1:
Inventory of the civil protection procedures and methods to respond to a
catastrophe in the EU member states;
WP2:
Functional specifications and Use Case Definition
WP3:
Geodatabase to store all relevant data (integrating alphanumeric and geographic
data)
WP4:
Proposal of a generic Emergency Plan
WP5:
Emergency management application to implement the proposed emergency plan
WP6:
Documentation and user’s manual.
TS
Objective: To
create a virtual simulator for training the Civil Protection agents. This will
help to test the emergency management prototype, to create scenarios, and, at
the same time, to train the operational personnel to use a system that only
occasionally (hopefully) will be used in practice.
Workpackages
WP1:
Characterisation of the end-user profile and needs;
WP2:
Functional specifications
WP3:
Selection of the most adequate tools and simulation models
WP4:
Development of the simulator prototype
WP5:
Documentation and user’s manual.
