Preparedness for Decision Making in Crisis

PROCeed is a computer system which prepares its users for proper decision-making in crisis situations.

It enables creating and running all kinds of simulation applications and can be used as an interactive decision-making game, as well as a for multi-variant analysis.

Implementation of simulation techniques enables accurate modeling of the actual proceedings by providing all the necessary roles, flashpoints, events, physical objects, or the environment. While observing dynamically changing situation, application users can influence on the other users engagement and make various decisions affecting future course of events.

and analysis carried out in the real world are the best , however they consume time and tend to be very expensive, particularly in terms of necessary repetition. Therefore, acting in simulated conditions is the optimal way of training and analysis of situations. Within the costructed environment training and analysis are based on the fulfiling tasks in real-like conditions, using appropriate methods and tools, observing the consequences of one’s decisions and trying to assess the undertaken actions. Due to the high degree of repeatability and interactive features of training and analysis within the PROCeed system, it is possible to significantly reduce costs and increase effectiveness of the coaching process. In addition, this type of training and analysis can be provided more often and may consider wider range of possible options.

Copernicus Emergency Management Service

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (Copernicus EMS) provides all actors involved in the management of natural disasters, man-made emergency situations, and humanitarian crises with timely and accurate geo-spatial information derived from satellit

The Copernicus Management Service (Copernicus EMS) provides all actors involved in the management of natural disasters, man-made situations, and humanitarian crises with timely and accurate geo-spatial information derived from satellite remote sensing and completed by available in situ or open data sources.

The Copernicus EMS consists of two components:

a mapping component;
an early warning component.

The mapping component of the service (Copernicus EMS - Mapping) has a worldwide coverage and provides the above-mentioned actors (mainly Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid Agencies) with maps based on satellite imagery. The service has been fully operational since 1st April 2012 and it is implemented by the European Commission DG Joint Research Centre (JRC).

The products generated by the service can be used as supplied (e.g. as digital or printed map outputs). They may also be combined with other data sources (e.g. as digital feature sets in a geographic information system) to support geospatial analysis and decision making processes of emergency managers.

Copernicus EMS - Mapping can support all phases of the cycle: , , , emergency and .

The early warning component of the Copernicus EMS consists of three different systems:

The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS), which provides overviews on ongoing and forecasted floods in Europe up to 10 days in advance.
The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), which provides near real-time and historical information on forest fires and forest fire regimes in the European, Middle Eastern and North African regions.
The European Drought Observatory (EDO), which provides drought-relevant information and early-warnings for Europe.

Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) and Global Drought Observatory (GDO) complete the previous three above systems at global level.

The service is provided free of charge to all users either in rush mode, for activities which require immediate (read more) and or non-rush mode, to support emergency disaster management activities not related to immediate responseanalysing pre-disaster and population and asset vulnerability or post-disaster and reconstruction (read more). It can be activated only by designated authorised users.

More information on the service is available on the Copernicus EMS – Mapping Portal. The public portal of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service allows to download all the maps and products delivered by this service.

A User Guide for the EMS Service has been produced and is available here.

XVR On Scene

XVR On Scene provides 3D virtual reality simulation of an incident scene. Instructors can build any type of incident to educate, train or assess operational and tactical first responders and incident commanders, either individually or in teams.

The XVR On Scene module is perfect to train operational and tactical level (bronze and silver) responders. XVR On Scene provides the trainee with an interactive and immersive 3D view of the incident . The is completely adaptable to your local situation. Instructors and scenario builders can choose from a large variety of environments (such as city centres, industrial areas, rural terrains, critical infrastructure and so on) and place a vast amount of objects in there from the >4000 objects XVR library. In this way, you can build any type of incident and the different ways in how this incident could evolve based on the actions and decisions by the participants.

XVR On Scene is a powerful to help trainees understand procedures by experience, lets them acquire practical knowledge in a relatively short time frame, practice decision-making skills, and have them experience situations that rarely occur in real life while in a safe environment. Over and over.

XVR On Scene is used in classroom settings,in individual or assessments and in team-exercises. It can be projected on large monitors and on VR head-mounted-displays.

The classroom set-up is used for triggering a group discussion about a virtual scenario. Discussions can focus on incident approach, carrying out the first reconnaissance or making the first deployment decisions.

With the individual set-up, the participant is immersed in a virtual scenario while the instructor can adjust the scenario based on the participant's decisions. This set-up is excellent for individual or assessment of a certain skill set.

The team set-up allows you to train multiple participants in mono- or multidisciplinary exercises. One or more instructors can be in charge of the learning objectives and role-playing. Team training exercises are well suited to train communication and reporting skills.

UAV-ASIGN

UAV-ASIGN is a software solution that helps reduce emergency and disaster response time by collecting and sending UAV photos and videos while in-flight even through low or constrained bandwidths.

When UAV pilots embark on a time-critical mission, the communication of UAV photo and video contents may be urgent in that the observations can influence decisions and the efficiency of the mission. In situations however, one may be confronted by unreliable communication networks whose low bandwidth significantly slows or hinders data transmission. Difficulties in getting crucial imagery out of the field not only affects overall situational awareness and decision making but can also prevent expert feedback needed to guide UAV pilots in the collection of specific observations.

With these challenges in mind, AnsuR has developed UAV-ASIGN, a mobile application and companion to the ASIGN server. UAV-ASIGN enables pilots to, through their smartphone, capture precise geo-tagged visual UAV contents and then communicate it in real-time with relevant parties all while in-flight.

Given the low bandwidth which may be available in the field, UAV-ASIGN has been developed to work anywhere, anytime, through limited networks and satellite communication to reliably support time-critical activities including post- interventions or search & rescue missions.

UAV-ASIGN allows for interactive communication by sending imagery previews up to 100x faster than traditional methods. Remote experts or clients can then pull relevant imagery in full precision with the ASIGN software server, which can be accessed from any web browser, and communicate needs in real-time. This enables a continuous feedback loop between the pilot flying the UAV in the field and an expert who may be hundreds of kilometres away.

Streamlining communication between UAV pilot and remote expert results in a faster and more efficient mission completion. For the client, receiving precise information in near real-time allows for better oversight and resource allocation, while shortening time.
