Multihazard Disaster Engineering during the Response Phase
Published in Syed Hyder Abbas Musavi, Early Warning-Based Multihazard and Disaster Management Systems, 2019
Talking in a broader sense, any disaster engineering network needs the following technologies to be implemented in its communication networks [1,2]: TETRA, TETRA II, and TETRAPOLProject 253G cellular systemsIEEE 802.11×IEEE 802.16×IEEE 802.20DVB: DVB-T, DVB-S, and DVB-HHC-SDMAHIPERLAN2Interactive satellite broadcasting systems and GPSIEEE 802.15×UWBSensorsGISRFID

In Europe, the Emergency Support System (ESS) (CORDIS Community Research and Development Information Service 2018) focuses on three areas of research: (1) coordination of emergencies and management of critical moments; (2) information and pathologies during abnormal events and (3) treatment of information under stress situations. This project has developed tools that improve the analysis of critical situations in order to decide what actions to take. The tools enable the design of an emergency system and plan according to the circumstances and environmental conditions involved: whether inside buildings or outdoors, in circumstances of collapse, fire, floods, short circuits, etc. Bearing in mind that failures can occur in wireless or cable communications, mobile devices must be employed in parallel with a system that allows offline communication, using secure emergency telecommunications networks such as DMR (DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) Association 2018), TRETA (ETSI TETRA (Trans European Trunked Radio) 2018), TRETAPOL (TETRAPOL Secure voice and data communications 2018) or P25 (Project 25 Technology Interest Group 2018) that enable communication between emergency teams.
