STF 472 – Interviews and TS Earthquake Egil Bovim

Interviews so far 17 Most of them with two interviewers Spain, Germany, UK, Italy, Latvia, Norway UN: WFP (Rome) Unsuccesful attempts: France, Turkey, Greece Planned: One in Italy

Challenges (in interviews) Finding the right institution Reaching the right intervewees Trust Lack of knowledge about new technology and its operational impact.

Interviewees Administrators/ policy makers Technologists Users at various level Organisations: Civil Protection Military Emergency services NGOs

Findings Voice is (still) the norm International organisations ahead of nationals in terms of (next generation) technologies Implementation of PMR depending on finances Usage of satellite communicatin depending on costs (Next to) no figures available for telecoms usage/ needs

Earthquake scenario- CFEEC Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority Coord. FEC Hazard Zone Incident sector The police will stay in the incident sector. Op: Operationals FCC: Field Coordination Centre ECC: Emergency Coordination Centre Hazard Zone: The area which is defined as dangerous. Ceases to exist as H.Z. once it has been cleared of dangers.

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Damage control/ Search and Rescue (Fire and Rescue department) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority F&R ECC F&R FCC SAR/FF Fcoord Dec. unit Hazard Zone Op. Incident sector The main activities of Fire and Rescue are carried out insiden the Hazard zone

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Health Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority Hospital Medical ECC Em.t. Hazard Zone Incident sector The emergency teams within the incident sector will communicate with hospital(s) on patient matters, and with Medical ECC on matters of resources etc. Em.t.: Emergency team

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Public Order (Police) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority Police ECC Police FCC Op Hazard Zone Incident sector The police will stay in the incident sector. Op: Operationals FCC: Field Coordination Centre ECC: Emergency Coordination Centre Hazard Zone: The area which is defined as dangerous. Ceases to exist as H.Z. once it has been cleared of dangers.

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Repair of Infrastructure/ Utilities (Service Providers) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority Water/Power Eng.t Hazard Zone Em.t. Roads dep. Railways Em.t. Incident sector Water, food and shelter are normally Supplied by the same entities, but power supply is the responsibilty of companies/ entities which normally have separate communication systems etc. They stay outside the Hazard Zone. Sup. p: Supply point Eng.t: Engineering team

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Emergency Supplies/ Temporary Shelters/ Sanitation (Municipal Authorities) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority Supplies/ shelter Municipal Supplies/ Shelter unit Sup.p Hazard Zone Sanitation unit Em.t. Incident sector Municipal Sanitation Water, food and shelter are normally Supplied by the same entities, but power supply is the responsibilty of companies/ entities which normally have separate communication systems etc. They stay outside the Hazard Zone. Sup. p: Supply point Eng.t: Engineering team

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – Defence forces Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority The role of the defence forces will vary between countries and incidents. The roles may be within supplie,s SAR and others. Depending on the roles they may work both in the incident sector and the Hazard Zone. F.C.: Field Command Em.t Hazard Zone Em.t. F.C. Incident sector Defence

regional/ local Authority Earthquake Scenario – NGOs Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links National/ regional/ local Authority The number of NGOs participating, and their roles, will vary widely between incidents. Their organisation will also vary, what is shown here is a generic model which may in real incident be representative for their organisation and needs of telecommunications means. Depending on capacities (medical care/ SAR dogs) they will work inside or outside the Hazard Zone Hazard Zone Em.t. Em.t. Incident sector NGO(s)

Earthquake scenario – telecomms needs Everybody needs telecoms to everybody Scalability is a reality Issue: Make a readable picture Put that picture into standards needs

TS approach Generic description of effects of earthquake Collapsed buildings Landslide Disruption of services Etc…

Scenario definition Generic description of earthquake Specific case Collapsed buildings Fires Landslide Etc Specific case Selected effects Numbers of effects (casualities etc)

Justification for specific scenario Quantification of effects Quantification of responses Quantification of communication needs
