EU successfully developed disaster emergency rescue decision system

Modern society is faced with an increasing number of unusual events, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks and security incidents. One of the biggest challenges for the public administration in responding to a disaster crisis comes from the lack of accurate information in the disaster area, especially the coordination between the rescue departments. When a disaster occurs, “Time is life”, and rapid decision-making takes immediate action to rescue more lives and assets within the best rescue time span of several hours of disaster.

The European Union's Seventh Framework for Research and Development (FP7) provides 27 million Euros in funding, with a total R&D investment of 40 million Euros. It is composed of 16 member states and their associated countries, France (Coordination), Italy, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Britain, Germany. The European SAFER R&D team consisting of scientific and technical personnel from relevant institutions in Romania, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Sweden and the Czech Republic, after more than three years of efforts, has successfully developed an innovative disaster emergency rescue decision system, Member countries have been promoted and applied.

The main technical breakthroughs of the innovative disaster relief decision system developed by the SAFER R&D team are: 1) It can comprehensively analyze the complicated and real-time data autonomous pre-decision and suggestion system from different channels in the disaster area; 2) Perceived the disaster area temperature, pressure, wind speed, toxic Rapidly normalized deployment techniques for sensing devices for materials and pollution sources; 3) Rapid air static balloon technology equipped with high-definition camera and infrared sensors; 4) Self-contained power supply and wireless communication equipment, direct same-site observation/communication/positioning satellite system Maintain close contact with the temporary mobile command system and mobile command vehicle technology.

The R&D team conducted a comprehensive inspection of the comprehensive application of the rescue system technology in the air crash drill near the small village on the French-Italian border, which was well received by the member delegations. Within one hour of the crash, the disaster area sensing device, balloon liftoff, on-the-spot temporary command post, and rescue teams that coordinated the command by the French-Italian Disaster Rescue Command Center, respectively, all began to perform their functions as scheduled.
