The document discusses the Tridec system used for collaborative decision support during the NEAMWave12 exercise, focusing on tsunami management through advanced real-time information technologies. It highlights the validation of this system through simulated tsunami scenarios involving multiple organizations, including the integration of both conventional seismic sensors and unconventional eyewitness reports for data collection. The findings from the exercise demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in communication and dissemination of tailored warning messages across different platforms.

- 36. Detour – eyewitness reports • Extending conventional sensors, i.e. seismic system, tide gauges, buoys, and GPS, with unconventional sensors, e.g. eyewitness reports • In 2010 United States Institute of Peace (USIP) examined role of crisis-mapping in the disaster relief effort following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti – An open-source crisis-mapping platform, provided a way to capture, organize, and share critical information coming directly from Haitians • Successive application and validation – 2010 Chile earthquake – 2010 BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – 2011 Christchurch earthquake and tsunami in New Zealand – 2011 Japan earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear emergency 36
- 37. Detour cont’d • For this purpose an crisismapping instance has been setup for the Turkish Extended Phase A scenario together with Android App ‘Geohazard’ – To validate and demonstrate the feasibility of integrating and using eyewitness reports – Serving eyewitness reports to the TRIDEC system – Making them available via the CCUI to the operators in case of tsunamigenic earthquake and tsunami events • Thus eyewitness reports provide rapid in-situ crowdsourced measurement by people actually experiencing the crisis event 37
- 38. Detour cont’d • Primary purpose – Extending conventional sensors, i.e. seismic system, tide gauges, buoys, and GPS, with unconventional sensors, e.g. eyewitness reports – Decentralized collection of local reports using smartphone technology – Rapid in-situ crowd-sourced measurement by people actually experiencing the crisis event • Increase attractiveness for users – potential eyewitnesses – Ability to access freely available public information from providers around the world, e.g. • Earthquake information services of KOERI, IPMA, USGS, GFZ, and many more, but also • Tsunami information services from NOAA • Volcano information services from USGS, and GNS • Cyclone and flood information services from GDACS – Services are chosen by the user according to specific needs – Freely available in Google Play Store http://goo.gl/CyZd0K 38

- 50. Conclusions • Evaluation of TRIDEC systems in full from the initial virtual earthquake sensed, to the analysis of virtual sea level sensor data, the use of simulations, and finally to the dissemination of warning messages in 2 of 4 NEAMWave12 scenarios – At IPMA demonstrating the conformance to international agreements in IPMA's Phase A – At KOERI demonstrating functionality beyond international agreements in KOERI's Extended Phase A to demonstrate unique features • Use of conventional sensors and sensor systems and unconventional sensors – Use of seismic system and tide gauges – Use of an App to immediately sent eyewitness reports, and – Integration of a crisis-mapping platform to collect, organize eyewitness reports • Communication – Centre-to-Centre software system communication between Turkey and Portugal – Conventional delivery of warning messages via email, fax, SMS and GTS – Delivery of user-tailored warning messages with customization based on recipients' vocabulary, language, subscribed region, criticality, and channel – Social media channels have been used in order to demonstrate new opportunities 50
- 51. Lessons learned – from tech. view point • Gain experience – regular exercises in international context apply pressure and push things forward – NEAMWave exercise could influence internal trainings/workshops and communication test exercises – differences could be small • Connect scientific and professional skills with state-of-the-art in ICT – Use standards – Reuse and transform content – Allow system-to-system and centre-to-centre communication – Recycle information in different context – Let technology influence SOPs – Play with new technological approaches – Use prototypes • Let scenarios meet reality – – – – Clarify what full-scale means and what a scenario is Use systems behaviour to design realistic scenarios Survey target state. Specify downscale state – Know what you miss Announce (internal) exercises, but hide details • Identify stakeholders, their involvement, and their needs – Prioritize – Check against priorities 51
