A. Probst/Chairman of ITU-T SG 16 GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 1
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Scope of ITU-T activities: – Development of Recommendations for interoperable systems and telecommunications facilities in Early Warning and Disaster Relief situations (Study Groups) – Coordination and collaboration among the key players involved in those situations (PCP-TDR) GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 2
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Main Study Groups involved [1/2]: – SG 2 (International Emergency Preferential Scheme / IEPS, special numbering for TDR scenarios, …) – SG 4 (Network management framework for ETS, …) – SG 9 (Preferential telecommunications over IPCablecom networks, …) – SG 11 (BICC and ISUP Support for IEPS, …) GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 3
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Main Study Groups involved [2/2]: – SG 13 (Framework on network requirements and capabilities to support emergency telecommunications, incl. NGN, …) – SG 15 (Automatically Switched Optical Network, …) – SG 16 (Priority mechanisms and message broadcast over multimedia systems, …) – SG 17 (Security aspects, …) – SG 19 (Emergency services in IMT-2000, …) GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 4
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Coordination 1/2: – TSAG: • ITU-T Action Plan for Standardization on TDR/EW – SG 2: • ITU-T Lead Study Group for Telecommunication for TDR/EW – Partnership Coordination Panel on TDR • Monitor the progress of technical standardization work in general and in particular a mapping to the requirements of the different categories of users • Address coordination issues between the partners • Involve “institutional users” in the standardization process GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 5
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Coordination 2/2: – Partnership Coordination Panel on TDR • Develop and maintain contact with entities not traditionally involved in standards development • PCP-TDR present Members: - ITU-T: SG 2, SG 4, SG 16 and other SGs on request, - ITU-R: SG 8 and others on request, - ITU-D: SG 2, - SDOs: ISO/IEC, APT, ATIS T 1, ETSI, IETF, OASIS, TIA and others, - Intergovernmental Organizations: UN-OCHA, UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, WHO and others, - NGOs: IFRC, ICRC, TSF, IARU and others, - Industry Forum and Consortium: MESA, TETRA and others. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 6
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • New developments and trends: – Increased importance of systems to support early warning needs: • collection and transmission of relevant information (Citizen to Authority & Authority to Authority) • Information broadcast (Authority to Citizen) – Evolution of telecommunication systems (mobile, internet, …) – Importance of considering accessibility issues ( e. g. users with disabilities, language barriers, …) GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 7
ITU-T Status Report on Disaster Relief and Early warning • Proposed actions: – Encourage different PSOs to develop EW/TDR standards for the systems under their responsibility • In ITU-T: encourage and stimulate contributions to the different ITU-T SGs – Improve cooperation and coordination among the PSOs, in particular through participation to the PCPTDR – Contribute to the 2 nd Workshop on EW/TDR (19 -20 October 2006(*)) (*) Date to be confirmed!
