Contents Origins – Can GSM play a role? Design Philosophy What is DEWN? Technologies employed Mechanics – how does it work? Pilot – Proof of Concept Improvements based on pilot projects New challenges and the way forward

Can GSM play a role? Could GSM fill that critical need for an intelligent but ubiquitous delivery mechanism for national disaster warning? …GSM in Sri Lanka Reaching over 6 MN Sri Lankans Ubiquitous in terms of availability Affordable to all segments of society Messaging capabilities unmatched by any other

The answer was clearly yes! In January 2005 Dialog Telekom PLC, Microimage and the University of Moratuwa initiated an R&D programme as one of its long term efforts towards Nation rebuilding Key Research Engineers of DEWN University of Moratuwa, and Microimage officials

DEWN Design Philosophy Effective in warning citizens at day or night Immune to communication network congestion Comprehensible in terms of local dialect Directed to person or location or equally applicable to mass dissemination The solution needed to be also… Affordable Accessible Familiar Reliable Validate authenticity

What is DEWN? DEWN is an integrated disaster and emergency warning network that incorporates network based as well as device based technologies to deliver an end to end disaster solution through the centrally configurable carriage and dissemination of alerts
