6. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva 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

7. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva Backup

8. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva 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.

9. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva 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

10. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva Integrated view of networks supporting disaster relief services

11. GSC-19 Meeting, 15-16 July 2015, Geneva 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.ITU-R 53ITU-R 55 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 ITU-R focus on disaster prediction, detection, mitigation and relief
