RESOLUTION GSC-8/1 Emergency Communications

• Recognizes
• the Tampere Convention provides a process for
  implementation of emergency communications on an
  international basis
• that cooperation and collaboration between PSOs
  and authorities and/or organizations providing
  emergency services is necessary for the provision
  of coordinated, emergency communications
  services
• that significant activity in relation to
  emergency communications, including such issues
  as E911/E112/E119/etc., location identification,
  special handling for emergency communications,
  public protection and disaster relief activities,
  etc. is currently being undertaken in a range of
  national, regional and international Standards
  Development Organizations (SDOs)
• that future requirements for emergency
  communications will include both narrowband and
  broadband applications using both narrowband and
  broadband technologies, in fixed, mobile,
  Internet, broadcast and other electronic
  communications networks
• Concludes
• that emergency communications can be partitioned
  into concerns covering communication (1) from
  citizens to authorities and/or organizations
  providing emergency services, (2) between such
  authorities, (3) from such authorities to
  citizens and (4) amongst affected citizens
• that it is important for PSOs, authorities and/or
  organizations providing emergency services in
  countries across the world to continue to
  collaborate in the development of technical
  standards, and to share information on emerging
  technologies and services that can be used for
  emergency communications

RESOLUTION GSC-8/1 Emergency Communications

• Resolves
• to establish a continuing area of work on
  emergency communications to further encourage
  cooperation and the sharing of information among
  SDOs on standardization activities relating to
  communication in emergency situations, in
  particular addressing the four indicated
  partitions.
• including, but not limited to, developing
  standards for
• priority access to emergency call access numbers
  provision of location information suitable
  technologies for use in networks dedicated to
  public protection and disaster relief
  communications interoperability between public
  networks and networks dedicated to emergency
  communications priority access by emergency
  services personnel to communications services
• to encourage ongoing cooperation and
  collaboration among national, regional and
  international activities that relate to emergency
  communications, such as Project MESA

OTHER RESOLUTIONS

• Resolution GSC 8/1
• In summary, It is important for PSOs, authorities
  and/or organizations providing emergency services
  in countries across the world to continue to
  collaborate in the development of technical
  standards, other Resolutions also support
  Emergency Communications-related issues.
• Resolution RAST 10/1 (2001)
• Identifies public safety and disaster relief as a
  high interest subject for Radiocommunication.
• Related Resolution 646 (ITU-R WRC-03) on PPDR
• Many future applications will be wideband
  (indicative data rates in the order of 384-500
  kbit/s) and/or broadband (indicative data rates
  in the order of 1-100 Mbit/s).
• New technologies for wideband and broadband
  public protection and disaster relief
  applications are being developed in various
  standards organizations (i.e., a joint
  standardization program currently organized
  between ETSI and TIA, known as Project MESA).

Types of Emergency Communications

• Citizen to Government (CtoG) A citizen
  communicating an emergency message to appropriate
  authorities via available options (e.g.,
  E9-1-1/1-1-2 call to PSAP, amateur radio, and
  mobile communications (with or without location
  services).
• Government to Government (GtoG) Governmental
  authorities communicating to each other, other
  agencies and appropriate NS/EP-designated private
  industry concerns and coordinators (i.e., using
  all forms of telecommunications services, private
  radio, CMRS, e-mail/messaging alerts,
  etc.).
• Government to Citizen (GtoC) Government or
  authorized officials communicating alerts or
  details of an emergency to citizens via available
  options (e.g., Governmental mass media alerts,
  citizen accessible radio services and common
  channels, highway alerts, voluntary citizen alert
  services localized and national,
  e-mail/voice-mail and word of mouth).
• Citizen to Citizen (CtoC) A citizen
  communicating an emergency to another citizen or
  private organization via available options (e.g.,
  ONSTAR-like message, amateur radio, mobile and
  land-line communications, broadcast and mass
  media, Internet, email lists, faxes, information
  services, and word of mouth).
• Above service examples are illustrative only, not
  officially defined for this presentation.

PSO Activities

• Status of ATIS Activities Related to Emergency
  Telecommunications Services (ETS)
• Special provisions to facilitate effective
  communications for emergency personnel are
  necessary.
• This includes priority processing of
  communications through the communication network.
  ETS traffic needs to receive preferential use of
  the surviving capacity of the impacted network.
• ETS capability will need to be provided by
  wireless and wireline service providers that
  globally interoperate with one another.
• Interoperability is achieved by adherence to
  standards that are aligned with one another, even
  if the standards are developed by regionally
  different organizations. As such, cooperation
  between standards bodies will be needed to
  provide a set of globally consistent, complete,
  and interoperable standards.
• Emergency Telecommunications Services (ETS) is a
  United States Federal Government initiative.
• ETS is specifically looking for packet-based
  telecommunications and 3G mobile networks
  standards based on what those networks are
  capable of providing, paying particular attention
  to the convergence of these technologies.
• National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)
  Telecommunication Services Functional
  Requirements
• A summary of the high-level functional
  requirements (including those viewed by service
  providers as being important for successful
  deployment) described in the ATIS Reference TR
  are included in ATIS contribution.
