Overview of work in ITU-R Study Groups Disaster phases Major radiocommunication services involved Major tasks of radiocommunication services Studies carried out by Radiocommunication Prediction & Detection Meteorological services (meteorological aids and meteorological-satellite service) Earth exploration-satellite service Weather and climate prediction. Detection and tracking of earthquakes, tsunamis hurricanes, typhoons, forest fires, oil leaks etc. Providing warning information Study Group 7 Alerting Amateur services Receiving and distributing alert messages Study Group 5 Broadcasting services terrestrial and satellite (radio, television, etc.) Disseminating alert messages and advice to large sections of the public Study Group 6 Fixed services terrestrial and satellite Delivering alert messages and instructions to telecommunication centres for further dissemination to public Study Group 5 Study Group 4 Mobile services (land, satellite, maritime services, etc.) Distributing alert messages and advice to individuals Relief Amateur services Assisting in organizing relief operations in areas (especially when other services are still not operational) Study Group 5 Broadcasting services terrestrial and satellite (radio, television, etc.) Coordination of relief activities by disseminating information from relief planning teams to population Study Group 6 Earth exploration-satellite service Assessment of damage and providing information for planning relief activities Study Group 7 Fixed services terrestrial and satellite Exchange of information between different teams/groups for planning and coordination relief activities Study Group 5 Study Group 4 Mobile services (land, satellite, maritime services, etc.) Exchange of information between individuals and/or groups of people involved in relief activities

Current activities in Working Party 5A Land Mobile Systems above 30 MHz*(excluding IMT); wireless access in the fixed service; amateur and amateur-satellite services Draft New Report M.[PPDR] “Public protection and disaster relief communications”. This report addresses: the categorization of technical and operational requirements relating to PPDR; the current use of narrow and wide-band PPDR; the mobile broadband PPDR services and applications including further developments and the evolution of PPDR through advances in technology; the needs of developing countries. The Report is expected to be finalized and approved by ITU-R Study Group 5 on 21 July 2015

Backup

Disaster relief by ITU ITU contributes to disaster prevention and response from the telecommunication/ICT aspect since many years Disaster relief activities include preparation for possible disasters, early detection, rescue, evacuation assistance, safety confirmation, recovery assistance, etc. ITU and it’s partners deploy satellite terminals and other emergency telecommunication equipment to affected countries within the first 24 to 48 hours aftermath a disaster to help restore vital communication links.

Mission of the Focus Group Disaster relief for individuals (notify damage situation from victims) disaster relief guidance (show victims the routes to evacuation shelters, home) Network resilience and recovery capability of infrastructure to cope better with disasters

Integrated view of networks supporting disaster relief services

ITU-R focus on disaster prediction, detection, mitigation and relief Radiocommunications Assembly 2007 (RA-07) approved Resolutions ITU-R 53 and ITU-R 55 instructing all ITU-R Study Groups to carry out studies on the use of radiocommunications in disaster prediction, detection, mitigation and relief. In 2012 RA-12 revised and confirmed those Resolutions WRC-12 agreed upon Agenda Item 1.3 for WRC-15: “to review and revise Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC 12) for broadband public protection and disaster relief (PPDR), in accordance with Resolution 648 (WRC-12)”. In addition, WRC-12 revised Resolutions 644, 646, and 647. Nearly every Study Group within the ITU-R has a role to play in Disaster Relief
