  1. Telecommunicationsfor Disaster Relief Pierre-André Probst Chairman, Study Group 16 Harold Folts Rapporteur Q I (4/16), Study Group 16

  2. …hurricanes/typhoons …earthquakes …and other major disasters Disaster Strikes • Natural and Man-made • Unexpectedly or slowly developing • Initial response by local emergency services • Followed by deployed emergency services Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  3. Considerations Telecommunication resources limited due to infrastructure damage and excessive traffic Public telecom services provide first level of immediate response, but supplemental capabilities essential to continue and strengthen disaster relief operations International assistance when local capabilities are overwhelmed by the magnitude of disaster National authorities primarily responsible for mitigation, preparedness, prevention, and response capabilities and provide supplemental resources for relief support Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  4. ATTACK ON AMERICA September 11, 2001 Traffic SOARED! • AT&T carried a record 431 million call attempts , 101 million more than busiest day … EVER • Record local traffic … 300 million Verizon calls NYC & Wash. , 2X normal … 10X overloads periodically • Cingular Wireless call attempts jumped 400% in Wash. and 1000% in NY • Verizon Wireless had 50% to 100 % increase nationwide • Cell network congestion caused severe decrease in wireless completion rates Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  5. Telecom Capabilities • Public services – • Wire phones • Multimedia • Mobile phones • Internet • Land Mobile Radio • Trunked Radio Systems • Satellite links • Mobile broadband systems • Amateur Radio ITU-T Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  6. Telecommunications resources often experience severe stress with damaged infrastructure and very high traffic loads Initial recovery response teams need telecom support to enable organization and coordination of recovery resources immediately Response teams must depend on readily available public telecommunications resources – Internet, Cellular, POTS Why ETS Serious Disasters happen any place, any time, unexpectedly Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  7. Objectives of ETS • Selection of multimedia & telephony services • Rapid authentication of authorized ETS users • Security protectionof ETS traffic • Preferential access to telecom facilities • Preferential establishment of ETS communications • Preferential routing of emergency ETS traffic • Preferential use of operational resources for ETS • Preferential completion of ETS traffic • Optional pre-emption of non-emergency traffic • Allowable degradation of QoS for ETS traffic • Interchange of critical service management info Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  8. ITU-T Umbrella Question QI/16 Telecommunication Capabilities for Disaster Relief Development of emergency telecommunications systems concept and a requirements definition for the many aspects being addressed by ITU-T Study Groups and other standards activities. Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  9. QI/16 Cooperation • Close coordination & liaisons among: • ITU-T Study Groups – 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16 , 17, SSG • ITU-R and ITU-D • UN Working Group on Emergency Telecommunications • ETSI – EMTEL, Projects MESA, TIPHON, 3GP • TIA – MESA, 3GPP2 • T1 – 3GPP • Asia Pacific Telecommunity Standardization Expert Group on Public Safety and Disaster Relief Communications • User organizations – UN Red Cross/Red Cressent World Food Program Télécom sans Frontières others to be identified Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  10. QI/16 Deliverables Cooperatively develop: • An emergency telecom requirements Recommendation – first draft Autumn 2003 • An emergency telecommunications systems concept – first draft January 2004 • A systems framework showing how various components support emergency telecom requirements interwork – 2005 Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  11. Challenge Ahead Integration and interoperation of disaster relief telecom capabilities • Public services – ITU-T • Wire phones • Mobile phones • Internet • Land Mobile Radio • Trunked Radio System • Satellite links • Mobile broadband systems • Amateur Radio Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002

  12. TDR Workshop Please join us at the Workshop on Telecommunications for Disaster Relief February 17-19, 2003 ITU Geneva, Switzerland Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia - Geneva, 9-11 December 2002
