What are critical aspects of “emergency-information” management?
Having the right information • Having this information on time • Sharing this information • Using a common (information) language standard • (E.g. Definition and translation into XML/ other standard….)
The IAN-system will support you, but…. Support of IAN- system ..There is space for misunderstanding When assistance? How assistance? Logistics, what and where?
Mutual expectations What are the needs? Common language?
Example What kind of equipment? Where? “Country X does not have the field equipment for stopping further pollution. Equipment will be on the groundabout 13 hours. According to the latest information from the field oil slick is 3 kilometers from the border with Y.” Arrival time? After 13 Hrs? or at 13.00 Hrs? Estimated quantity? Key question: What do you expect from who?? Not to blame… but to learn from….
What is the “assistance information” you need to know? • Who? (contact information) • What? (description of the asset) • Where? (location, co-ordinates etc..) • With which? (E.g. means of transport) • Why? (Description of the problem) • How? (How will it be delivered?) • When? (Date and time)
Definition of assistance(example) • Material: • 2 pumps, capacity….. • 3 Water purification units, capacity… • Shelters (winter) for 400 people • Advice: • Environmental impact assessment • (in particular flooding experts) • Staff: • Fire fighters (50) Including when and where, contacts etc…
10 Key information products defined In the Netherlands • Incident information • (View of the) effect • Information about victims • Situation development (Sitrep) • Problem areas (deviations, bottlenecks, issues etc.) • Staff comenced • Public information • Decisions • Actions (including instructions) • Advices
IRIX- format • A standard developed in the nuclear- and radiological area • A standard which can be modified for use within the UN- ECE (Helsinki Convention)
Added value of standardisation • Mutual expectations are clear • No time loose • No misunderstandings • Easily translated in different languages
What do you think about this? How to move forward? What to present to CoP?
