4 27 partners involved 11 End-Users VOLBE 9 Research Institutions 7 Industries/SMEs

5 OBJECTIVES WP6 will show the operational application of the technologies developed in the project, starting from the algorithms to anticipate impacts (WP2), their operation 24/7 in the proposed MH-EWS (WP3), and their adaptation to the local needs and requirements through the A4DEMOS platform (WP4), including third-party developments and tools, and the developments oriented to raise population and activities self-protection (WP5). The aim is to show the actual improvement of the End-user operational capabilities before, during and in the aftermath of emergencies induced by extreme and high-impact W&C events. The pilot sites have been selected in order to cover both different hazards and different operational environments that require the enhancement of specific operational capabilities addressed by the use of a customized A4DEMOS.

8 WP6 is structured in 4 phases PHASE 1 The local implementation of A4DEMOS and the link with the local legacy systems will be done in Task 6.1 PHASE 2 Task 6.2 will test the implementation and train the operators and responders personnel, including tabletop exercises. PHASE 3 Task 6.3 to Task 6.6 will deal with the operation of the platform during the demonstration period. PHASE 4 Task 6.7 will collect stakeholders feedbacks and recommendations.

9 Main points to be subject of the Innovation Action of the Project in the four pilot sites: Adapted multi-hazard impact assessment products generated by the MH-EWS to a specific environment including specific user needs and to the distributed platform interfaces and additional layer. This will be achieved by the definition of dynamical operational risk maps and information related to any specific hazard addressed. Capacity to handle detailed cartographies and local vulnerability and risk maps (integrating the additional ANYWHERE capabilities and data) supported by advanced Geospatial Web Services capabilities to facilitate third parties Web services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). CONTINUE

10 Main points to be subject of the Innovation Action of the Project in the four pilot sites: CONTINUE Capacity to incorporate sensors and local sources of information (including crowdsourcing). Capacity to interact with the protocols of response of specific users and/or managing institutions. Capacity to share information and interconnect various responders and operators (including local, regional and national CPs, responders, fire brigades).

11 Main points to be subject of the Innovation Action of the Project in the four pilot sites: CONTINUE Capacity to support shorter reaction times and higher efficiency of reactions. Improved coordination of emergency and pro-active reactions in the field during the emergency management operation. Enhanced social media communication skills based on social studies on the effectiveness of the emergency warnings.

12 Implementation of A4DEMOS and the link with the local legacy systems Task 6.1 This Task links the activities done in WP4, where the A4DEMOS platform is developed, with the activities done in WP6. The aim is to properly tailor the A4DEMOS platform on the pilot sites specific needs, such as the use at best of the available local knowledge and data. This task will design the deployment of the A4DEMOS platform in the four pilot sites to collect, interface and eventually transform these local data to make the best use of it given the local constraints of security, networks or physical hardware. This task is crucial because it foresees the involvement of the End-users since the beginning of the implementation at the pilot sites.

13 Test the implementation and train the operators and responders Task 6.2 This will prepare the demonstration period of the platform and tools (Tasks ) and will give an important feedback to the developers to improve the adaptation in WP3 and WP4. A Tabletop simulation of selected past events will be conducted in each pilot site, using two different groups: one with the A4DEMOS in place, and the other without it. The scope of this activity is threefold: (i) Collect technical feedbacks of the local customization of the A4DEMOS platform in a pre-operational phase; (ii) Train the operators and responders personnel on the customized version of the A4DEMOS platform; and (iii) Provide to WP1 elements for a first evaluation of the benefit of the A4DEMOS respect to the original situation in each pilot site.

14 Pilot sites activities Task VOLBE

15 Ligurian sea Hazards: Floods and Flash Floods Landslides Forest Fires Drougths Heathwaves The site has been chosen because it presents a number of locations with similar and likely synchronous risks that are prone to different weather-induced hazards and likely to call for multi-national support and coordination. The different levels of Civil Protection (National, Regional and Local) will be linked by the platform as well as a number of local responders. This with the aim of reaching an improved accessibility to information during hazardous events by all the stakeholders involved both in the Early Warning and Emergency and Response phases.

16 Catalonia Hazards: Flood and Flash Floods Landslides Forest Fires Droughts The site has been chosen because The region is an area prone to different weather-induced hazards, with a huge presence of tourists and temporal visitors, and a high variety of climatic and socio-environmental areas from high mountains (Pyrenees), rural-agricultural areas prone to forest fires and droughts, to populated cities (Barcelona) and coastal touristic areas prone to flash floods due to heavy rainfalls.

17 Scandinavia Hazards: Convective storms and severe winds Intense rainfall Storm surges Heavy snowfall The site has been chosen because it is prone to different weather related risks typical of the Nordic environment. The pilot will include selected relevant hazard products, which are made available for regional civil protection organizations and FMI operational weather forecasters in Finland. In Norway, the adapted products will be included in 24/7 operations of HSUH and local civil protection organizations in Rogaland region in western Norway.

18 Switzerland VOLBE Hazards: Flood and Flash Floods Landslides Debris flows The site has been chosen because it represents a paradigm of co-occurrence of multi hazards in alpine areas (most notably, flash floods, landslides and debris flows) with multiple infrastructure and inhabitants on risk, but also because ample baseline data is readily available from long-term systematic records and detailed archival data.

19 Stakeholders feedbacks and recommendations Task 6.7 This task will compile the feedback and the recommendations from the operators, first responders and stakeholders based on the experiences collected during the demonstration period on the 4 pilot sites. The work will be focused to support the improvement of the tools and platforms by the developers and implementators. 1. A first compilation of the feedback, suggestions and recommendations will be discussed during the Project Meeting at M A final presentation of the conclusions and the recommendations of operators, first responders and stakeholders involved in the pilot sites will be reported in the public deliverable D6.8 and presented in a specific session during the project Final Conference.

22 2. Challenges to face in the ANYWHERE project and significant improvements that should be achieved

23 ANYWHERE targets Targets are the phases of Early Warning and Emergency and Response of the disaster management cycle

24 The challenge In each WP from 2 to 5 we improve, refine, test, set-up, models, EWS, DSS based on End-Users requirements defined in WP1. In WP6, like in a orchestra rehearsal, we have to test how all these elements works together to bring real innovation. And then start a concert for 11 months! Classic? Jazz?

25 Challenges to face Move from models to real operational tools working in crisis situations Build an efficient multi-hazard DSS (A4DEMOS) for emergency management Think globally, act locally Ensure a close cooperation between End-Users Research & Industries Demonstrate a pre-operational system, working for different hazards and in different environments

26 3. Objectives of the next 6 months

27 Objectives in the next 6 months Team building between the partners in each Pilot site. Closely follow the activities in the other WP, even if not directly involved. Set up a common language between End-Users Research & Industries/SMEs. Think about the challenges we have to face in WP6... Are we ready for a concert?
