WP1 constitutes the real start of the project, it is the place where all participants gather to meet and discuss the requirements on: research and technical issues, use case scenarios and user perspectives. The second aim of WP1 is to define the S&Rs Crisis Governance model which will build upon existing SOP and on the accountabilities and responsibilities of all the organisations involved the crisis management domain{Field Responders [Emergency and National Services, NGOs], Resource Owners [Municipal and Service Authorities, Private Sector Utilities, Charitable Agencies] Member States, EU [DG-ECHO, HOME, EEAS], and External International Agencies [Red Cross-Crescent, UN]}. The Governance model will map involved capabilities in (a) disaster response functions and (b) operational deployment. It will serve as a prototype for classification of capabilities, identification and demonstration of available practices and solutions and acquisition and realisation efforts. The model will be based on the principles of ‘re-use, before buy, before make’ and in this way, seeks a maximal reuse of existing legacy systems and solutions and beyond state-of-science, R&D and COTS tools and technologies. The Governance model will be the guiding instrument for implementation of the S&R platform for demonstration purposes and further development. The S&R Governance model will be completely neutral with respect to any territorial boundaries and will be designed to support local, regional, national, EU and International implementations.
WP2 Objectives focus on a number of societal issues related to the S&R such as:
Reliable and accurate Information plays a crucial role in the effective and risk-conscious decision making in the phase of disaster response. WP3 will provide methods and tools to ensure that a continuous information coming from various sources such as GIS tools, mobile and wearable equipment, sensing information from the environment as well as information obtained from infrastructure affected by disaster (e.g. BIM) can be integrated into a complete and comprehending picture and used in a risk-conscious manner by first responders as well as other stakeholders (government, agencies) involved in the decision making and the rescuer operations. Accordingly, the main goal of this work package is to provide the logic (e.g. rules) and models for the storing, sharing, notification and presentation of information to various stakeholders, based on their roles in the process of disaster response, context and the character of disaster.
The DSS, as a support information system to the decision-making activities, can be considered as the brain of the Emergency Management System. Specific objectives of WP4 are:
The main aim of WP7 is to devise the architecture and design specification of the S&R platform and undertake the development of the integrated platform by integrating prior implemented components and services developed in WP3, WP4, WP5 and WP6. The specific objectives of WP7 are:
WP8 defines the implementation framework for the pilots (pilot sites, process of intervention, time-plan) and the evaluation procedures for the pilots to assess the impact of the project to its target communities. The main purpose of this WP is to implement and evaluate the overall approach of the S&R platform and to define validation activities, in order to assure validity of results based on the scientific and technical objectives of the project, as specified in WP1. A series of tests will be designed and executed to monitor progress and validate the methodologies and technologies developed by S&R. The tests will be based on real life scenarios and case studies based on the seven (7) complex, demanding usecases described in section 1.3.3 and the use case scenarios to be developed in WP1 – T1.5 derived directly from industry and user partners in the project. S&R domain-specific use cases: UC1: Victims trapped under rubble (Italy), UC2: Plane crash, mountain rescue, non-urban (Greece), UC3: Earthquake / heavy storms between Vienna Rail Station & Kufstein railway station heavy damages in the rail station (Cross-border pilot, Austria-Germany), UC4: Forest fire expanded and threat to industrial zone (Attica Region, Greece), UC5: Victims trapped under rubbles (France), UC6: Resilience Support for Critical Infrastructures through Standardised Training on CBRN (Romania), UC7: Chemical substances spill (Spain). The following course of action will be pursued:
In this phase, a detailed dissemination plan will be generated to direct the end-user, academic and software partners by providing a detailed dissemination roadmap for: i) the first half of the project and ii) the second half of the project until its end. The plan will include specific milestones for publications in journals, presentations in scientific conferences, participation in exhibitions and will also organise a number of research-oriented workshops and events. In order to increase transparency, the plan will also be published in the project portal in order to disseminate information about upcoming activities, as well as to indicate the objectives that have been reached. During this phase of the T9.1 the aim is to establish the required strategy and implementation plan to ensure the brand association between S&R and software technologies.
WP9 will produce, implement and monitor the dissemination, communication and exploitation strategies of the S&R project. The objective is to maximise the impact of the project, ensuring proper dissemination and communication of the project results to raise awareness to the scientific and industrial stakeholders and, subsequently, generate demand and further adoption of the S&R results. The detailed objectives are:
Project coordination and management aims at: (a) coordinating the joint efforts of the consortium during the execution of the project, (b) ensuring the smooth progress of the work plan and the fulfilment of the consortium’s contractual obligations, and (c) providing the necessary liaisons between the consortium and the EU as well as other project-related consortia.
WP10 responsibility is to ensure the smooth operation of the project in terms of day-to-day management and interfacing with the European Commission. WP10 is supported by the management structure that will be outlined in Section 3.2. In short, S&R management structures and techniques have been devised to support the following objectives:
The objective is to ensure compliance with the ‘ethics requirements’ set out in this work package.
