25
Video Teleconference Communications
  • Skype is good but not the best choice
  • District authorities have to pass courses for
    behaviour in front of a camera
  • Not relying only on one (internet) connection

26
Mechanisms for collection, archiving and
visualization of information for the
communication resources
Nagios
Cacti
27
The System - Administration
  • Standalone Workstations with one user
  • There was no
  • Installed Domain Controller or other type of
    centralized user access administration
  • Physical access control to the workstations
  • Time to set-up centralized network administration
    with various types of workstations hardware,
    leased from different organizations

40
Collective screens
  • Are three screens for information sharing enough?
  • Automatic Notification System
  • Seismological data
  • Results from the Analytical models
  • Network loading
  • Video-teleconference with districts
  • Video-monitoring of the CAX centers (JTSAC-CP)
  • Satellite images
  • Meteorological forecast
  • Location of events on GIS
  • Operational web-site, containing all the exchange
    messages
  • Reports of the authorities for decision making
  • What kind of information is needed yet?

41
Web service
  • The Public web-site is not regularly updated
  • Providing preliminary prepared normative acts and
    documents for support of web-users
  • The reports of the authorities for decisions must
    be sent to the operational site before actual
    reporting
  • Escaping of sending to the operational site
    non-readable format of documents
  • Development of integrated web-based interface for
    providing all the information/data and results
    from MS and DMS tools during CAX

42
Organization of JTSAC and Public Information
  • CAX Planning
  • CAX organizational structure
  • CAX Budgeting
  • CAX Contracting
  • JTSAC personnel structure
  • CAX Reporting
  • CAX Assessment

43
CAX Planning
  • MS Project Professional 2003 was applied for CAX
    Planning

44
CAX Budget
  • Key Components of Successful Budget Process
  • Distributed authority, responsibility and
    accountability
  • Bottom-up establishment of priorities
  • Collaborative, consultative decision making
  • Clear, concise performance expectations
  • Continuous, effective communication.

45
CAX Contracting

JTSAC personnel structure
47
CAX Reporting
  • Report for activities of IPP-BAS till February
    2006 to the Chairman of SACP Gen. N. Nikolov and
    Head of IPP Acad. K. Boyanov
  • Report for activities of IPP-BAS till June 2006
    to the Chairman of SACP Gen. N. Nikolov and Head
    of IPP Acad. K. Boyanov
  • Protocol for JTSAC readiness
  • Financial report till the end of July to the
    Executive Head of EU TACOM SEE 2006 Gen.N.
    Nikolov

CAX Assessment
49
Role of CAX in the development of IEMS
  • CAX is addressing operational procedures,
    documents and provides very good environment for
    development, testing and documenting the
    operational architecture of IEMS on National /
    International, District and Field level
  • JTSAC provides environment to demonstrate and
    test main elements of the system architecture
  • Monitoring and early warning
  • Notification
  • Fusion, modeling and simulation, decision making
    support
  • Information management and reporting
  • Different types of communication
  • Display for collective use
  • JTSAC elements provide opportunity for technology
    demonstration, including alternatives and
    assessment in semi real environment
  • EU TACOM SEE 2006 support for IEMS Feasibility
    Study is very valuable

50
CPX/CAX Field exercise
  • Integration of CPX/CAX with FX provides real
    picture from the field
  • Tactical tempo push for operational scenario is
    key for realistic training
  • Full scale exercise is best test for IEMS
    architecture
  • International participation in CAX and FX is best
    test bed for multilingual emergency management
    concept experimentation

51
JTSAC as part of IEMS
  • Training is critical for effectiveness of IEMS
  • JTSAC provides best environment for training
  • Tactical training of rescue teams has to be
    synchronized with operational training of the
    operational bodies
  • JTSAC (CPX/CAX) and Tactical Training Center (FX)
    are part of the IEMS even before IEMS existence

52
Conclusions
  • Plan in advance next exercise at least one year
    cycle is needed to have good scenario /
    architecture, building adequate environment,
    training of participants, pre-exercise test, real
    CAX with field elements and analysis
  • Set up different teams with clear
    responsibilities and budget
  • Standardize equipment and software combined with
    formal training and certification of participants
  • Document better way the exercise
  • Take more seriously security aspects of the CAX
  • Improve the realism with insertion more
    episodes from the field and other real time
    sources media, monitoring and early warning
    systems
  • Assessment team and media / public attitude
    analysis is critical for success

53
and next steps
  • Document JTSAC
  • Structure and organization / costing
  • Contracting out
  • Network
  • Software
  • Information
  • Methodology
  • Assessment
  • Final Report in November to guarantee reusability
    of JTSAC
  • Planning of Protection 2007
  • Involvement of educational institutions in
    Planning and LL
  • Involvement of other ministries in scenario /
    exercise
  • Regional dimension SEE, WBSA
  • EU / NATO exercise program integration

54
Recommendations for PROTECTION 2007
  • Start planning in October06 for exercise in
    September07
  • Standardize planning procedure and coordinate
    with other CM/EM related exercises
  • Focus on CPX CAX on National / District level
    with international dimension from the region, EU,
    UN, NATO
  • Use mobile C2 modules and recorded video from FX
    this year for real input from the field.
  • Standardize assessment procedure
