• CI disruptions very seldom considered in EM
• In case of CI disruptions, there is a need:
– To understand what is happening
– To know who is involved
– To be updated about the actions taken
3. Emergency Information Sharing Protocols
5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014
‘Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice‘ • 24-28 August 2014 • Davos • Switzerland
www.grforum.org
• Emergency Information
Sharing Protocols (EISP)
– Involve relevant stakeholders
– Have a common Operational
picture
– Common situation awareness
– Joint decision making in case of
emergency
• Limitations of current EISP
– Limited scope
– Not fully standardized
– Do not include CI operators
needs
4. The MATRICS Project

• Scope & Research Objectives of the
MATRICS Project
– Funded by the Italian Ministry of
education and Research
– Aims at proposing a new EISP to be used
for operational information exchange
among CIOs and between CIOs and first
responders during the emergency
management phase

Disaster Risk Reduction
• How did your work support the implementation of the Hyogo
Framework for Action:
– Improve EM related to CI disruptions
– Enhance stakeholder collaboration
– Towards standardized EISP
• From your perspective what are the main gaps, needs and further
steps to be addressed in the Post 2015 Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction in
– Research: standardization, end users requirements, information sharing
– Education & Training: involve new types of stakeholders (e.g.population)
in EM
– Implementation & Practice:
– Policy:

Introduce to main results of a applied research project conducted with colleagues from Politechnics of Milan
Objective: to improve EM related to CI disruptions
Main assumption: information sharing is key
= information is the critical resource!
CI operator not involved in EM procedures. keep info for themselves while some of them could be of interest for the other operators; e.g. in case of blackout some mobile phones antennas have an autonomy of around 2 hours. need to know how long the blackout will last.
= need to be included in EM protocols
systems to share information with restricted access to relevant stakeholders. Everyone can communicate to the system information relevant (e.g. electricity operator about the network situation, time it will take to repair damages, etc.) so that everyone share the same common operationnal picture. allows taking actions and update others about the actions taken to the view to improve EM
They do not cover the whole set of information and their relationships or they are too general (e.g. alert pahse or risk management in general)
They are not fully standardized with respect to syntax, terminology, and semantics to cover the practices of stakeholders different from first responders
They are designed on the basis of the needs of first responders and Civil protection, but the needs of Critical Infrastructure Operators (CIOs) have been neglected
= have an information sharing system defining who need to be involved (ci operators, emergency management, support services, e.g. meteo), what type of information is exchanged,when, why and how.
e.g. ci operators have to update other stakeholders about their situation and times of recovery every 2 hours; emergency management authorities need to communicate to the population every 30 minutes about the situation, etc.
a high-level ontology clarifying the fundamental concepts needed in emergencies has been developed
the existing ISPs have been reviewed, with a particular focus on their performance with respect to the fundamental concepts of the high-level ontology
a low-level ontology has been developed which integrates the most suited elements of the existing ISPs for the corresponding scopes of the high-level ontology
the complete ISP has been applied in a case study
Test: scenario of past accident (heavy snowfall)
Validation of type of messages, type of information, usability of the system
Limits: prototype. not yet included in existing management system so seen as additional work!
Test: analysing the sequence of events, the information needed for the proper management of the emergency, and the matching between the needed information and the information provided by the ontology
The test demonstrated how the proposed ISP does overcome the limitations of the existing ISPs because it covers the whole set of needed information and it proposed standardized syntax, terminology, and semantics by selecting the most appropriate portions of existing IPSs to cover specific information contents
