INTEGRATED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE COORDINATION
Abstract
Currently, information technologies used for emergency management are a set of separate local processes that have a narrowly specialized focus. Often they are not integrated into a single management system and do not have information interaction. Integration of information technologies into a single management system will create a single information environment that combines the resources of various systems for the purpose of operational processing of information about emergencies and response coordination. The paper presents integrated information technology designed to solve a wide range of managerial tasks in emergencies. Integrated information technology is a combination of methods and software and hardware with developed processes of information interaction between them, ensuring the collection, storage, processing, analysis and transmission of information to reduce the complexity of the processes of preparation and use of information resources from various sources, to increase their reliability and efficiency. The main areas of work of the integrated information technology are: identification of possible sources of emergencies and their impact on the environment; implementation of regular observations and prediction of climatic changes (solar radiation, light conditions, temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, atmospheric pressure); zoning of territories according to the presence of potentially dangerous geological, hydrogeological and meteorological phenomena and processes, as well as the risk of emergencies associated with them; forecasting and assessing the socio-economic consequences of emergencies, determining the forecast of the need for forces, facilities, material and financial resources; development of strategic and tactical action plans to protect the environment and localize the zone of influence of harmful and dangerous factors arising during emergencies; development of management decisions for the implementation of strategic and tactical action plans.
