EU Research Funding - Disaster Mobilities

Date: 10 November 2014

Secure Dynamic Cloud for Information, Communication and Resource Interoperability based on a Pan-European Disaster Inventory

Mobilties.Lab is leading research on disaster mobilities in a three year, € 3,1 million EU FP7 project. Monika Buscher, Katrina Petersen, Sarah Becklake (Sociology) and Catherine Easton (Lancaster Law School) are working with computer scientists, emergency responders, commercial IT developers Cloudsigma and Airbus Defence to inform the design of information technologies for crisis response and management. SecInCoRe will design a Secure Dynamic Cloud based concept for Information, Communication and Resource Interoperability in multi-agency crisis management, including information exchange and access to a 'common information space'. This will be based on a pan-European disaster inventory collating information about stakeholders, information systems, resources and data sets used in regional, national as well as cross European emergencies and disasters. SecInCoRe develops models for sustainable access to the inventory for different users, from open access to commercial service provision. The technical concept/system will be operated by first responders and police authorities, from European Member States, for collaborative management of emergencies and disasters.
