 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The EU regularly suffers from natural and man-made disaster, the social and economical consequences of which may adversely affect its growth and competitiveness. There is a growing vulnerability to disasters and subsequently an urgent need to improve operational capacities and capabilities of Member States. Furthermore, the Lisbon Treaty will enlarge the role of the EU and allow for stronger coordinated activities to support crisis management (CM) outside the EU. CRISYS aims at developing a strategic roadmap for full implementation of an integrated and scalable crisis management system and to provide a solid basis for the description of a full user driven demo programme. Uniquely CRISYS engages users and suppliers in pursuit of practical outcomes that can be rapidly transferred into the operational environment. CRISYS will seek to capitalise on relevant projects in the domain, whilst forging solid networks and wide awareness with significant users, first responders, governments, suppliers and other bodies in the field of CM. CRISYS will: -Identify and analyse the state of the art in the current legacy environment of CM across the EU (policies, systems, societal) -Gather information from users with regard to their requirements on operational, procedural, regulatory, technological and standards issues -Place emphasis on the protection of the citizens by engaging and developing close contact with local and national administrations responsible for CM and with first responder organisations -Assess capacity and competency gaps in current and foreseen performance to recommend validated demonstration cases regarding user’s requirements -Propose a strategic roadmap for the Phase2. This roadmap will be set in the context of current and future relevant factual and political trends, as well as economic and supply market issues -Ensure EU wide dissemination of information with these activities being supported by an enlarged User platform and other key EU and international stakeholders'

Introduzione (Teaser)

How can first responders and public services react better on a European scale when a natural and man-made disaster strikes? A research project has developed a concepts and scheduled planning (roadmap) for developing and demonstrating a unified strategy for crisis management across the EU and strengthened relevant international networks.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

When major disasters occur, the consequences are traumatic and far-reaching. This applies equally to individuals caught directly in their wake, who can lose their lives or livelihoods, and to regions and countries as a whole, where it can take years to rebuild economies and communities.

The EU aims to counter growing vulnerability to disasters by strengthening its crisis management capabilities. It must be able to respond in a timely, coordinated and effective way to large-scale disasters that happen both inside and outside its borders. The 'Critical response in security and safety emergencies' (CRISYS) project aimed to provide concepts, tools and planning in the form of a roadmap for developing and demonstrating a better system to protect the population, environment and economy, and ensure a rapid return to reasonable quality of life following a crisis situation.

CRISYS elaborated concepts to improve capabilities in communications, situation awareness, decision support, logistics, search and rescue, medical care and basic services through better resources, training and information technologies.

A key focus was on highlighting common needs and forging better contacts between local and national administrations and emergency services to develop innovative solutions together. These various levels of users were consulted extensively to develop the new system, integrating existing capabilities to enhance interoperability rather than imposing a new uniform solution.

The CRISYS concept model, which focuses on the use of data and information, was proposed for its application in three operational scenarios with different needs, timescales, and geographical and political landscapes.

CRISYS roadmap, when applied in the second-phase demonstrator project will drive fundamental change in how emergency operations are carried out and enable better use of the EU's existing capabilities to respond when the worst happens.
