(cold/warm/wet/dry)
e.g. heavy storm, extreme
(ice) rain or snow or a heat
or cold wave
18. Disasters at
distance
(in neighboring
countries which have
an effect on our
country, e.g. nuclear,
floods, forest fire,
etc.)

17. > Spatial aspects of Disasters

18. From Indicent… to Disaster…
> Relation between scale (extent/severity) and involved parties

19. Where are the risks…
> Risk Map of The Netherlands…
• Location of Risk generators (dangerous objects or areas)
• Risk distance zones (10^-6)
• Effect distance zones (m) Lethality
• Locations of Risk receivers (vulnerable objects or areas)
> www.risicokaart.nl

20. Source Area vs Effect Area
> “Gasmal” and “Sector mal” (danger zones)

21. > Positioning people and objects
during Disasters…

22. Where the !#%^&@#
is …………….. ?!

25. Lelystad Detention Centre

26. The Challenge…
> Can a position be determined? Indoor and Outdoor
for different disaster types?
> Which positional accuracy is needed and what
can be delivered technically (demand and supply)?
• Sometimes a rough indication of position is enough,
sometimes not (e.g. Prison LBS Use Case… in or out
the geofence, Room A is GO area Room B nextdoor
is NOGO area)
• It really depends on the situation (type of disaster
and use case scenario) and the technology used

27. Positioning
> Indoor incidents and disasters (buildings,
tunnels)
> Outdoor incidents and disasters

28. Mobile Modem
> MOMO (used by fire departments and
police)(www.eal.nl)
> GPS lokalisation I/O (inputs / outputs)
• Netwerk connectie
• GPRS / UMTS communicatie of RAM
Mobitex communicatie
• WIFI
• Bluetooth
• Dual carrier functionality

29. > Disaster Management

30. The Safety and Security Chain

31. Mono- versus Multi-disciplinary
> Mono-disciplinary incidents
> Multi-disciplinary disasters

60. Conclusions…
> The Conclusions

61. Conclusions
> Disaster happen everywhere, indoor AND outdoor
positioning scenarios
> …And under difficult conditions, special demands on
equipment
> Communication lines and connections can be severely
disturbed in DM situations, alternatives needed (plan B…) or
local caching
> There are mono- and multi-disciplinary disasters
> A Common Operation Picture improves the Situational
Awareness, especially in multi-disciplinary situations
> There are 2 types of IT architectures to create a COP, the
central model and the distributed (P2P) model
