  1. Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  2. NATURAL DISASTERS 01 DISASTER MANAGEMENT LIFE CYCLE 02 DISASTER WARNING NETWORK 03 ALERTS HANDLING VIA GSM 04 SMS & CELL BROADCASTING SERVICE 05 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION 06 CORE AREAS Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  3. What is a Natural Disaster ? • Natural disaster is a consequence of the combination of a natural hazard & human vulnerabilities • NATURAL HAZARD is a physical event such as eg. Volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, Landslides,etc… Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  4. Lightning Floods Typhoon Fires Volcanoes Tsunami Natural Disasters • Earthquakes • Floods • Landslides • Droughts • Wild fires • Tropical cyclones • Strom surges • Tsunami • Tidal waves • Hurricanes • Typhoon • Volcanic eruptions Video clip Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  5. An early warning would have saved lives…….. ….that warning never reached those who needed to be aware The only warning most people had was the sight of the huge sea waves heading towards them. An Early warning system………….. The Ultimate need of the Era !!

  6. Disaster Management Life Cycle [DMLC] Mitigation & Prevention Prediction OBSERVATIONS FORECASTS WARNINGS Monitoring Preparedness Recovery Relief

  7. Disaster Warning Network (DWN) Integrated disaster & emergency warning network that incorporates network based as well as device based technologies to deliver end to end disaster warnings to the communities Operational stages of DWN Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  8. Warning & Emergency alerts to the community • Calls via Land phones, Faxes • Warning through Internet • Wireless devices: mobile phones • Satellite transmission • Electronic Mass Media • Disaster Warning Devices Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  9. Power failure Breakdown of Antennas, Base stations & Cables They do not have real time capacity Fixed telephone lines - May get congested Internet - subject to overload, corruption Challenges  Collapse of Telecommunication infrastructure  Problems associated even if the infrastructure is survived Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  10. Alert handling via GSM Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) • Ideal method of communication during disaster situations when timing is critical & when networks are overloaded  Wireless mobile network is an excellent example Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  11. SMS Vs. Cell Broadcasting

  12. Availability Mobile form are the most accessible device Cost Effectiveness Less Vulnerability Low initial cost than any other satellite based system Does not require technical expertise to install/ operate Survive adverse environmental conditions Independent of terrestrial facilities [telecom & internet] Sustainability Scalability Speed Can be configured with poor or no electrical supply Can expand to other geographical areas as required CB & SMS can be sent in a matter of minutes Safe guard Against false warning Encryption to eliminate spam SMS Emergency call back number to verify authenticity Secure login at Command Center Interface Unique features

  13. Selectivity Reliability Alerts can be classified based on Geographical area Highly immune to interference, Eavesdropping Alarms will ring until acknowledged Status of alerts, whether received or not can be verified at the Command Center Interface Familiarity Warnings can be received in Native languages Achievability Alerts can be sent in multiple modes to receivers [ Visual & Audible ways ] Unlike Voice, CB & SMS can get through weak or inconsistent signals Multiplicity Coverage Security Maximum Authentication of warnings Warnings sent only to those users in actual danger from a disaster event in progress Unique features

  14. Delivery Methods • Java/ Symbian/ Microsoft Handsets • Message delivery interacting with terminal resident application to deliver customized & situation specific presentation • Visual presentation with flashes the screen • Audible alarming with special tone •  Standard GSM Handsets • GSM Compatible remote Alarm Devices Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  15. CENTRAL PROCESSING CENTRE GSM NETWORK CARRIER AREA WARNING TRANSMISSION STATION EXECUTION FLOW OF GSM BASED WARNING ALLERT SYSTEM MOBILE MESSAGING PLATFORM FOR CB CB SYSTEM

  16. Drawbacks in GSM Broadcasting False Alarms Lack of Availability Failure in Achievability Terminal Oriented Failure in Reachability Overload Drawbacks Failure in Commanding Poor Coverage

  17. Summary of DWN DWN is capable of pre determining the natural disasters Dissemination of Warning Alerts  With well formulated instruction to selected receivers in a specific geographical area  Use wide range of versatile transmission & receiving mechanisms  Allow variety of mitigation & preparedness responses

  18. Lets get together to challenge the Natural Disasters for the global survival of Our Next Generation… Hence, DWN will deliver an added element of value to the GSM mobile phone while highlighting the extent of practicability & potential advancement to achieve better prospects in the future in terms of disaster management….. Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System

  19. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND COOPERATION Towards a comprehensive Disaster Warning System
