invitation

 

Dear members of the 
OGC EDM DWG -

 

The EU FP7 project 
"Emergency Support System" (ESS – see http://www.ess-project.eu/) is going to 
conduct its first field test in France on the 24th of March, 2012, in Nîmes. 

 

The objective of the 
ESS is to develop a suite of real-time data-centric technologies aiming to 
provide actionable information to crisis managers during abnormal events. This 
information will enable improved control and management, resulting in real time 
synchronization between forces on the ground (police, rescue teams, fire 
fighters) and out-of-the-theatre command and control centers (C&C). 

 

ESS makes use of OGC 
standards, including SWE standards (SOS, O&M, SWE Common etc) as well as 
general SDI standards (WFS, WMS etc). If you are interested in seeing OGC 
standards being applied in the demonstration of an Emergency Management system, 
we invite you to attend the first ESS field test. 

 

The scenario of this 
field test is based on a flood event near a football stadium during a soccer 
game. During the test several components and modules of the ESS system will be 
demonstrated regarding surveillance, field measurements, area monitoring, field 
sensors, fleet and traffic management, risk assessment, alerting citizens 
etc.

 

You can download 
further information – the official invitation letter as well as agenda and 
registration form – from here.

 

Best 
regards,

Johannes
