Abstract

The Secure and robust Critical Information-Technology Infrastructure (S-CITI for short) project aims at providing support to Emergency Managers (EMs) that are faced with management of resources and with decisions before, during, and after emergencies or disasters. Our approach consists of using new and existing sensors to gather data from the field, processing this data to detect and predict emergency/disaster situations, and disseminating this data among the appropriate organizational units. The data flow will be done in a reliable and secure manner and EMs will coordinate actions in a Virtual Coordination Center (VCC), which need not be in a fixed (and thus vulnerable) physical location. The EMs are responsible for indicating what type of data is more valuable, so that S-CITI can display that information appropriately.
