2. More natural disasters occur nowadays

3. Typhoon Bogha (December 11, 2012) Typhoon Sanda (September 15, 2012)

4. Natural disasters on a global scale

5. Leading to greater economic effects UNEP: Economic costs of great natural disasters (US$billion), 1950-2000

6. And of course ‘man-made disasters’

7. Gotthard tunnel inferno (October 2001)

8. SARS outbreak (July 2003)

9. How to cope with these disasters? Of course technology can help to a certain level but above all: Organization & Training

10. Civil Protection Management provides a basis Civil protection and its scope are defined in the Protocol additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12th August 1949 In the terms of Protocol I, the expression ‘Civil Protection’ means accomplishment of those humanitarian tasks intended to protect the civilian population from dangers arising from hostilities, or disasters, and to help recover from the immediate effects, and to ensure the conditions necessary for survival, These tasks are as follows; • Warning • Evacuation • Management of shelters • Management of blackout measures • Rescue • Medical services, including first aid, and religious assistance • Fire-fighting • Detection and marking of danger areas • Decontamination and similar protective measures • Provision of emergency accommodation and supplies • Emergency assistance in the restoration and maintenance of order in distressed areas • Emergency repair of indispensable public utilities • Emergency disposal of the dead • Assistance in the preservation of objects essential for survival • Complementary activities necessary to carry out any of the tasks including planning and organisation

12. Capgemini’s understanding of “Civil Protection Management” is based on the Geneva Conventions Natural hazards Example: Levee failures in Greater New Orleans • Geological hazards • Hydrological hazards • Climatic and atmospheric hazards • Wildfire hazard • Biospherical hazards • Extraterrestrial hazards Man-made hazards • Sociological hazards • Technological hazards Definition of Civil Protection Management • In the terms of Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions, the expression ‘Civil Protection’ means accomplishment of those humanitarian tasks intended • To protect the civilian population from dangers arising from hostilities, or disasters, • To help it to recover from the immediate effects, • and to ensure the conditions necessary for its survival

13. Civil protection uses the principles of five emergency operations: pro-action, prevention, preparation, response, and recovery 5 main stages of Civil Protection • Stages Some examples • Pro-action • The process of actively preventing a war or the release of nuclear weapons • Policy analysis, diplomacy, political measures, nuclear disarmament • Study of the causes of disasters, forecasting, public information • Implementation of warning systems (e.g. Tsunami Warning System) • Satellite detection systems • Prevention • Building blast shelters, and pre-positioning information, supplies and emergency infrastructure • Continuous government inventories of grain silos, water purification, mobile refineries, mobile general and disaster mortuary facilities • Preparation • Warning civilians so they can enter protect assets • Emergency reserve is provided by specialised military units, especially civil affairs, Military Police, etc. • Find and rescue victims, evacuate them to safe places • Response • Recovery • Rebuilding damaged infrastructure, buildings and production

14. Worldwide you will find in most of the countries that in a Public Security and/or CPM ecosystem always the same organizations are involved

15. Within a generic public and government ecosystem, a variety of different organizations and government agencies are involved in civil protection Coast Guard Navy High complexity of linked organisations Globalisation and Diplomacy Army Executive Government Critical Infrastructure Infrastructure Interior and Home Affairs Civil Protection Police Fire and Rescue Ambulances Cities and Regional Government Public Safety Air Force Justice Services Civil Military Port and Border Authorities Intelligence Agency Intelligence Agency Ministry of Interior Courts and Judges Healthcare Defence

16. Hence…. OrganizationisESSENTIAL!!

17. Phase I Jeddah (Makkah CDMC) Requirements and Solution Client profile • Project leadership for creating a regional crisis management center. Tasks included: • Design of the CDMC organization; • Conduct awareness sessions for organizations involved; • Conduct training session for the CDMC and their collaborating organizations. • The municipality of the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) suffered from flash floods in 2009 and 2011. This caused over hundreds of casualties • In order to be prepared for future crises, the King ordered the establishment of a crisis management center (CDMC) • Saudi Aramco is representing the client • Classification

18. Your dashboard will follow that organization and the information that is required

19. Your Common Operational Picture is at the heart of communication with the stakeholders

20. An essential presence for Geo-ICT On your digital map you determine: • Where the disaster occurs • Which areas will be affected • Who is potentially at risk • What available routes you have for evacuation • Which other parties are (operationally) involved • Where they are • What will happen if someone loses control • …. • THIS REQUIRES PLANNING AND TRAINING

21. The planning process

22. And than training is required to make the right choices at the right moment • So the organizational bodies know what their task is • And will behave accordingly • Make the right decisions • AT THE RIGHT TIME Technology will help you
