Disaster Overview • A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. Bududa In 2011, 5 villages destroyed Many lives losts in the Landslides
Challenge of Bududa Landslides of 2011 5 villages 350 Buried 3,000 Displaced 10,000 UGX 8billion Spent Immediate Assistance
Internet of Things Billions of smart devices instrument our world today Interconnecting these smart devices creates a kind of global central nervous system
The Smarter Planet Solution + + = Instrumented Interconnected Intelligent Smarter Planet
Connectivity of Devices Applications Applications Intelligent Interconnected Web Applications and Devices Remote Systems and Devices Instrumented Embedded Controllers Filtering of duplicate read events Edge Gateways Device hubs / controllers that act as hubs/ concentrators for connecting devices. Spectrum Meter Unit EWERDIMA Unit Transmitters
Telemetry and the Internet Telemetry technology allows things to be measured or monitored from a distance. MQ Telemetry provides reliable, secure messaging features that can be scaled to include thousands of clients and that can interface with other technology within the enterprise, such as WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Application Server.
Cognitive Radio Cognitive radio (CR) is a form of wireless communication in which a transceiver can intelligently detect which communication channels are in use and which are not, and instantly move into vacant channels while avoiding occupied ones. This optimizes the use of available radio-frequency (RF) spectrum while minimizing interference to other users.
Introduction EWERDIMA is a Radio based, mobile and web based platform that enables the rescuers and humanitarian organizations during crisis get responses on victims and communicate warnings on disasters.
MQTT Protocol MQTT is an extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol that uses a publish/subscribe architecture designed to implement, with up to thousands of remote clients capable of being supported by a single server.
MQTT minimizes network bandwidth and device resource requirements while attempting to ensure reliability and delivery. This approach makes the MQTT protocol particularly well-suited for connecting machine to machine (M2M), which is a critical aspect of the emerging concept of an Internet of Things.
WebSphere MQ Telemetry extends the reach to connect the smallest and most remote devices and sensors to the enterprise messaging network.
What Happens when No Network Connectivity A rebroadcast Disaster mesh is created to keep the messages in flow identifying signals of response alerts. This keeps the message in sync with the Disaster Rescue Teams
Many countries are still in response and relief mode! COMMUNITIES AT RISK National Government (emergency systems) Local government disasterresponse hazard warning National Technical Services Disasterresponse hazard warning Meteorological Hydrological Geological hazard warning Marine Health (etc.)…

Why EWERDIMA • Early Reporting and Warning • Early Response • Immediate Evacuation • Duplex communication in times of disaster
The Stakeholders Government Ministries in Management of Disaster Police section of Disaster Management for example the Police Fire Department Amidst other Stakeholders
More countries moving from issuing hazard warnings to Multi-Hazard/Risk-based Early Warning Systems Coordination Across Many Agencies, Sectors and levels 2 1 3 4 National to local emergency plans, legislation and coordination mechanisms
A different view …. 1 National Government DRM agency and sectoral coordination mechanisms Local Governmentresponsible for emergency preparedness and response Alignedpolicies, plans, resources, coordination 4 warnings warnings feedback feedback 3 4 5 5 Community Preparedness Capacity Development and Coordinated National Technical Agencies 2 4 Meteorological Hydrological Geological Marine Health, Agricuture (etc.) warnings feedback 5
Conclusion Together we can save lives during disasters
