Business Challenge

• Governments and the emergency services have to predict and respond to an increasing number of natural disasters
• Lack of common practices across different countries can delay and hinder the response

Our Solution

• Led a consortium of 14 organisations to design and implement a standards based Service Oriented Architecture
• Developed and implementated applications for:
• Flash floods and forest fires in North East Spain
• Effects of earthquakes / floods on road traffic on the French / Italian border
• Impact of ship traffic on pollution in the German Bight
• Forest fires and floods on a pan-European level

The Results

• Improved service efficiency through improved access to risk management information
• Reduced costs through increased interoperability and standardisation
• Contributed to interoperability standards on a global level – ORCHESTRA has been applied for the tsunami early warning system in the Indian Ocean
