Understanding end-user needs for an efficient multi-hazard emergency management service platform design
2015
There is a higher concentration and impact of natural and man-made disasters which have
a similar course but are nevertheless different. Current disaster management systems focus on single
crisis and have the drawback that they cannot be flexibly adapted to the respective situation. The presented
approach developed during the PHAROS project is to provide an integrated platform which
offers tools for multi-hazard emergency management during the complete emergency management
cycle. The system has a modular structure which is flexible and scalable. PHAROS assets include:(i)
data collecting, processing tools, (ii) communication and alerting means, (iii) disaster prediction and
assessment, (iv) decision support. We present in addition to the system description the PHAROS pilot
demonstration used to evaluate the system. For this evaluation the system was adapted during the
project for the forest fire case and tested in Solsona, Spain in March 2016 during a real operational
prescribed burn.
