ONGOING ICT PROJECTS
A. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
• Aims to gather all information that
is useful for Disaster Management in
one GIS database.
• Currently all institutions create
their own data. No common
language.
• Increase efficiency in the response
and relief phases.
B. COMMAND & CONTROL SYSTEM
•
Turkish response speed to disasters is
appreciated worldwide. However;
there is no standardization.
•
It is aimed to increase the visibility and
tracibility of resources, logistical
elements and response teams
•
Better upwards and downwards
communication between field units
and HQ for cost&time-effective
response activities.
C. TEMPORARY SHELTERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
•
Currently 130.000 Syrian refugees reside in Turkish temporary shelters.
•
Tracking of the population and basic needs in these camps is a big problem.
•
It is aimed to automatize the camp management functions.
D. UNINTERRUPTED AND SECURE COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM
• Uninterrupted communication is very important for disaster management.
• Will be discussed today in detail in Session 3.
