Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) 14 DOCUMENT #: GSC 14 -XXXX-nn FOR: PRESENTATION SOURCE: ITU AGENDA ITEM: PLEN 6. 2 CONTACT(S): R. Scholl, K. Hughes ITU activities for Emergency Communications and Disaster Relief Kevin Hughes, BR kevin. hughes@itu. int Reinhard Scholl, TSB reinhard. scholl@itu. int International Telecommunication Union Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
Highlights: Radiocommunication (1) Prediction and Detection: Meteorological services (Met-Aids, Met-Sat); Earth Exploration Satellite Service Alerting: Amateur service; Broadcasting services (terrestrial and satellite); Fixed services (terrestrial and satellite); Mobile services (land, satellite, maritime) Damage assessment and Relief: Amateur service; Broadcasting services (terrestrial and satellite); Fixed services (terrestrial and satellite); Mobile services (land, satellite, maritime); Earth Exploration Satellite Service Regulatory role Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Standardization role Fostering worldwide interoperability 2
Highlights: Radiocommunication (2) Databases relating to safety of life and rescue operations Available frequencies for use in emergency situations and guidelines on the management of radiocommunications (Res 647 (WRC-07), Res ITU-R 53) Maritime mobile Access and retrieval System (MARS) Regionally Harmonized Frequency Bands for Public Protection and Disaster Relief preferred frequency bands listed in Res 646 (WRC-03) Study Group activities Spectrum management guidelines Recommendations, Reports, Handbooks providing technical basis for development and operation of the radiocommunication services used in the various phases of emergency and disaster situations Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 3
Highlights: Telecom standards Add-ons to existing system specifications: Early warning delivery (X. 1303/CAP) System override for emergency message broadcast: audio, audiovisual, text Extension of short text messaging to fixed telephones (circuit-switched and IP/soft-phones) Definition of methods to address multiple languages and communication for persons with disabilities, in particular for IP-based systems Definition of object identifiers for X. 1303/CAP messages (OASIS / WMO / ITU) New Definition of pre-allocated “channel” number for 3 G mobile cell broadcast use (Ongoing) Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 4
Strategic Direction (1) Stimulate ITU-R Study Groups to develop technical bases for telecommunication and radio systems employed in the prediction, detection, alerting and relief phases, including guidelines relating to the management of radiocommunications in such situations ITU/BR response to Resolution 647 (WRC-07) by establishing a database of available frequencies/ frequency bands for use in emergency situations, based on information provided by administrations (see BR Circular Letters 281 and 283) Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 5
Strategic Direction (2) New standards should build (=add-on) on existing infrastructure, not require a total revamp For new systems (e. g. NGN): emergency response functionality built-in from the start Coordination with all stakeholders PCP-TDR (Partnership Coordination Panel) Governments, industry, IGOs, NGOs Assistance to other groups E. g. : assistance for spectrum management in disaster relief deployments by UN OCHA / WGET Participation in events WMO Common Alerting Protocol (CAP, X. 1303) Implementation Workshop (Geneva, 22 -23 June 2009). Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 6
Challenges Consistently involve all stakeholders, in particular users of emergency communications Diversified community, not only traditional telecom experts Standards work is contribution-driven Sensitive area (as it involves sovereignty, security, etc) Respect national sovereignty when developing specifications National regulatory frameworks Encourage wider deployment of standards Education, awareness and preparedness Not a purely technical field. Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 7
Next Steps/Actions Continue updating of database of frequencies/ frequency bands based on membership responses to BR Circular Letters re: Res. 647 (WRC-07) Ensure ITU Study Groups take due account of emergency communications and disaster relief in their activities and initiate/enhance activities where necessary Encourage all relevant stake-holders to recognize the vital role that telecommunications and radio systems play in disaster management Encourage collaboration between ITU and other international organizations' involve with disaster relief Geneva, 13 -16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability 8
