Description of the work As risks are not 'objective' but socially and culturally constructed, disaster management which is aware, respects, and makes use of local cultural aspects will be not only more effective but, at the same time, also improve the community’s disaster coping capacities. CARISMAND will identify these factors, explore existing gaps and opportunities for improvement of disaster policies and procedures, and develop a comprehensive toolkit which will allow professional as well as voluntary disaster managers to adopt culturally-aware everyday practices. This goal will be achieved by approaching the links, and gaps, between disaster management, culture and risk perception from the broadest possible multi-disciplinary perspective and, simultaneously, developing a feedback-loop between disaster management stakeholders and citizens to establish, test, and refine proposed solutions for culturally-informed best practices in disaster management. Whilst experts from a variety of fields (in particular legal, IT, cognitive science, anthropology, psychology, sociology) will undertake a comprehensive collation of existing knowledge and structures, a number of Citizen Summits and Stakeholder Assemblies will be organised. Systematically, CARISMAND will use an approach that examines natural, man-made and technical disasters, placing at the center of attention specific aspects that affect culturally informed risk perceptions, e.g. whether disasters are caused intentionally or not, the different “visibility” of hazards, and various time scales of disasters such as slow/fast onset and short- and long-term effects. By organizing six Citizen Summits (two per disaster category per year in two separate locations) where such disaster risks are prevalent, and three Stakeholder Assemblies (one per year) where the results are discussed through a wide cross-sectional knowledge transfer between disaster managers from different locations and different cultural backgrounds. Results 1) Increased effectiveness of those who respond to disasters. 2) A more resilient society by ensuring that cities are better prepared for and able to recover from emergencies. 3) Better matching of needs of various cultures during disaster relief, thus improving reaction time and reducing fatalities. 4) Providing a framework for improving disasters’ policies and practices by taking into consideration every disaster victim’s cultural and personal uniqueness.

The focus is on mobility 09124 challenges linked to or overlapping with climate change, which can result in Cagliari security issues within local communities. CLISEL has three overall objectives: ITALY – Involve local policy-makers and other stakeholders to understand the Contact needs of local administrations when migration is involved Ilenia Ruggiu – Produce knowledge useful to EU policy-makers and analysts, national Tel: +39 070/6753815 governments, and local administrations on how local authorities can help Mobile: secure Europe against the impact of climate change in third countries, while Fax: +39 070/6753825 fostering multi-level preparedness among the EU actors involved E-mail: iruggiu@uunica.it – Enhance common awareness Website: www.clisel.eu The information derived from this study will be published and used by policy makers and analysts. 5
Description of the work CLISEL began with a preliminary case study and a questionnaire, “Climate-change migrations, security: the role of Local Authorities”. The questionnaire aimed to gain an understanding of the current level of knowledge of municipalities about both climate change itself and its impact on migration. It also aimed to understand perceptions of migrants as well as local efforts to solve issues. The information from the questionnaire was then statistically analysed. Secondly, workshops and focus groups drew the attention of mayors, city councillors and delegates to the issue of climate change, migration and security. A ‘Security Map’ was drafted based on this information to understand needs and concerns of a given region. During the second phase of the project, CLISEL will target EU policy-makers, analysts and national governments through the production of guidelines for European external policies on labour mobility and climate change, as well as an online geo-archive. Workshops and training activities will be organised in the next phase to involve European and international stakeholders. Results CLISEL will contribute to a more secure society with its “security map” informing the public about local regions regarding climate change and migration crises. In addition it will also serve as an educational tool for the local authorities regarding climate-induced migration.

Description of the work In recent years, crises and disasters (Eyjafjallajökull and Deepwater Horizon 2010, Fukushima Daiichi 2011) have made it obvious that a more resilient approach to preparing for and dealing with such events is needed. DARWIN will improve responses to expected and unexpected crises affecting critical infrastructure and social structures, as well as address the management of both man-made events (e.g. cyber-attacks) and natural events (e.g. earthquakes). The main objective of the project is the development of European resilience management guidelines. These will improve the ability of stakeholders to anticipate, monitor, respond, adapt, learn and evolve, to operate efficiently in the face of crises. To enable dynamic, user-friendly guidelines the project will adapt innovative tools (e.g. serious gaming, training packages), test and validate the guidelines, and establish knowledge about how organisations can implement guidelines to improve resilience. A multidisciplinary approach is applied, involving experts in the field of resilience, crisis and risk management, social media and service providers in the air traffic management and health care domains. To ensure transnational, cross-sector applicability, long-term relevance and uptake of project results, a Community of Crisis and Resilience Practitioners (CoCRP) will be established, including stakeholders and end-users from other domains and critical infrastructure and resilience experts. The CoCRP will be involved in an iterative evaluation process to provide feedback on the guidelines. The target beneficiaries of DARWIN are crisis management actors and stakeholders responsible for public safety, such as critical infrastructure and service providers, which might be affected by a crisis, as well as the public and media. Results - Catalogue of resilience concepts and requirements for guidelines - Generic resilience management guidelines addressing the capacities to anticipate, monitor, respond and adapt, learn and evolve - Process and storage which facilitate easy access and updates - Tools for simulation, serious games, training modules - Guidelines adapted to health care and air traffic management - Community of Resilience and Crisis Practitioners (CoCRP) for advice on guidelines - Pilot demonstration: ATM and health care PARTNERS COUNTRY Stiftelsen Sintef / SINTEF Norway Technische Universitat Braunschweig / TUBS Germany C.C.I.C.C.

Description of the work Tools and methods are invented and developed from which each of EDUCEN 'case study cities' can select to facilitate and support learning on disaster and culture; for example, a serious game, social mapping, and multi-stakeholder dialogues. Learning and replication between cities is facilitated by a transferability framework. Extensive process documentation facilitates this learning within and outside the consortium. A state of the art report, conceived as a modular 'living document' that can be translated and transformed in multiple formats for multiple audiences, integrates these learnings by theme. To attain this, we provide opportunities for stakeholders to meet, exchange, understand, and build on sociocultural networks ('soft infrastructure') and cultural capabilities to deal with disaster risk. Results Our project will produce locally relevant support materials at a city level., and precipitate and facilitate the formation of a living network of experts on cultures in disasters encompassing community members and practitioners (communities of practice-CoP). There will be links between academia and practitioners to bridge gaps between research and practice.

Description of the work The actual emergency systems are based on old-fashioned telecommunication technologies that cannot cope with the new IP-based services that the European citizens use every day. Some of these limitations are summarised below: 1) There is no standard underlying technology for the separate emergency systems 2) There is no interconnection among the PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points): this, unfortunately, limits the transfer of calls in case of congestion and network outage 3) Media limitation: currently only voice calls and sometimes SMS are accepted 4) No unified platform: currently emergency warning systems are completely separate from the 112 emergency centers 5) There are no advanced features, such as caller location 6) Emergency calls are unidirectional: they are established from the end-users towards the PSAP 7) There is no non-telecommunication platform as a backup in case the telecommunication infrastructure is not operational 8) The social media are not integrated: handling emergency situation should not only be the task of the rescue teams. Involving citizens especially through social media (twitter, Facebook, etc.) in monitoring events and sharing information will lead to a better management 9) The eCall (the emergency solution for vehicles in case of crash) technology is based on the GSM, which limits the amount of emergency data to be sent The aim of the EMYNOS project is to design, specify and develop a next generation emergency framework that resolves the above mentioned limitations. EMYNOS innovations are: A) Caller Location retrieval compliant to IETF and ETSI; B) Support for persons with various categories of disabilities; C) eCall extensions including photos and videos; D) Exploit social media to support disaster management operations. Results The EMYNOS project addressed the limitations of current emergency systems, particularly in terms of media and location. This is reflected in its platform which enables the provision of IP-based emergency calls. The platform is designed to deal with issues such as location information, encoding, retrieval and emergency call routing to the appropriate emergency call center according to the standards of the EENA NG112 LTD document. EMYNOS has two phases. The first 18-month phase saw several components developed for the project’s testbed. The current, second phase has targeted two objectives: (1) completion of the EMYNOS testbed and (2) its integration with existing legacy systems. The main results thus far of EMYNOS are as follows: – EMYNOS components were integrated together and demonstrated – Main components were integrated with existing end-user systems – Most components released as open source – The EMYNOS framework designed to support emergency calls from persons with special needs, including a pilot involving users with disabilities PARTNERS COUNTRY Fraunhofer Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. / Farunhofer Germany Turksat / Turksat Turkey Technological Educational Institute of Crete / TEIC Greece Navcert / Navcert Germany Public Safety Communication Europe / PSCE Belgium The Special Telecommunications Service / STS Romania Voztelecom / VOZ Spain Harpo Sp.

Description of the work eNOTICE has developed a structured and comprehensive approach to creating an open and neutral EU network of CBRN training centres (CBRN TC), testing and demonstration sites. To fulfil the tasks of networking, community building, innovation and sustainability development, the project will: – Elaborate a framework for European network of CBRN TC, testing and demonstration sites – Establish a web-based information and communication platform to provide, share and disseminate information during and after the project; this will make the eNOTICE network visible and attractive to CBRN-TC and external stakeholders, provide access to CBRN TC capacities according to a ‘capacity label’ and encourage and facilitate communication and interactions between all parties – Set up an operational transactional network for optimising investments by pooling and sharing resources, expertise, and effective practices, by organising joint activities between the eNOTICE network members and external partners, and by liaising with other networks of CBRN stakeholders Results The project will organise 16 joint exercises (i.e. field, table top, serious gaming and simulations involving all project beneficiaries, stakeholders from the planned exercises and external invited ones). It will devise a solid methodology for mapping and comparing capabilitiess, with permanent dissemination activities through a web based information and communication platform. This process of networking will become dynamic, natural and efficient and will make the network viable and sustainable during and beyond its five-year lifetime, thus helping build a long term collaborative community. CBRN training centres are strategically placed in the core of the network as they are the genuine operational link between all CBRN stakeholders, particularly practitioners and technology suppliers. They are the ideal intermediary due to their usual core business of training practitioners in well-sadapted infrastructures for training in real case settings.

Description of the work Using current best practice, EuroBioTox will develop and validate improved analytical tools, reagents and standard operating procedures based on realistic incident scenarios. Certified reference materials for the threat biotoxins will be developed and, by establishing a European repository, will be made available to the EuroBioTox network of more than 50 European organisations, expert laboratories, industrial partners and end-users. Training courses at basic and advanced levels will be developed and attended by EuroBioTox network partners, followed by a series of proficiency tests which, through these “outer circle” associates, will disseminate best practice methods across Europe. The current animal test for botulinum neurotoxin is ethically unacceptable, so alternative in vitro tests will be evaluated. Results Once this project is completed, there will be a pan-European network of competence, certified reference materials, standard operating procedures and a common way of handling biotoxin incidents.

Description of the work FLYSEC achieves its ambitious goals by integrating new technologies on video surveillance, intelligent remote image processing and biometrics combined with big data analysis, open-source intelligence and crowdsourcing. Re-purposing existing technologies is also one of FLYSEC's objectives, such as mobile application technologies for improved passenger experience and positive boarding applications (i.e. services to facilitate boarding and landside/airside way finding) as well as RFID for carry-on luggage tracking and quick unattended luggage handling. FLYSEC will implement a seamless risk-based security process combining the aforementioned technologies with behavioural analysis and innovative cognitive algorithms. A key aspect in the design of FLYSEC risk-based security is applying ethical-by-design patterns, maximising the efficiency of security controls through passenger differentiation ranging from “unknown” to “known/registered”, while remaining ethical and fair in the process and strictly avoiding any discrimination. Policy, regulatory and standardisation aspects will also be examined in the context of FLYSEC innovative security concept. FLYSEC will validate the operational value of its solution through pilot test in real operational environment. FLYSEC's overall security concept for airport security will be based on : 1) passenger facilitation 2) risk-based security 3) outcome focused results. These core points are positioned within a social, political, legal and anthropological framework. In the FLYSEC Secure Tunnels scenario the tunnel is implemented as a virtual path from the landside, through the security check and to the airside where technological components offer intelligence and risk-based security correlations through passive tracking and intelligent analysis. Results - Innovative processes facilitating risk-based approach - Deployment and integration of new technologies and re-purposing existing solutions towards a risk-based security paradigm shift - Improvement of passenger facilitation and customer service, bringing security as a real service to the airport of tomorrow - Achieving measurable throughput improvement and a whole new level of quality of service.

Description of the work The project will study preparedness by enabling a reference implementation of coordination operations and training platforms at the service of stakeholders. Another deliverable will be application of the project’s outcomes to response operations. As such, the project will prepare operations, plan and support the transboundary deployment of CP services and elaborate lessons learnt and system evaluation with feedback for preparedness. The project will include three exercises (a CBRN-related industrial accident, evacuation of a cruise ship and a massive flood) and three large demonstrations (terrorist attack, earthquake and resulting cascade of CI failures, and a large forest fire during a refugee crisis). These will combine the entirety of civil protection stakeholders in cross-agency, cross-operations formats to support collaborative and transboundary response, planning and dynamic scenario building. Results From a policy perspective, IN-PREP’s vision is to create a cross-organisational handbook of transboundary preparedness and response operations that will organise and synchronise national and EU efforts for strengthening preparedness. Technologically, the project’s MRPP will provide a novel solution to collaboratively and dynamically plan complex operations, by building realistic scenarios that can be remodelled in real-time in response to incident drifts. It will facilitate transboundary coordination over a common situational picture. The MRPP will be used mainly for preparedness but also for response activities.
