DoRES — A Three-tier Ontology for Modelling Crises in the Digital Age
During emergency crises it is imperative to collect, organise, analyse and share critical information between individuals and humanitarian organisations. Although different models and platforms have been created for helping these particular issues, existing work tend to focus on only one or two of the previous matters. We propose the DoRES ontology for representing information sources, consolidating it into reports and then, representing event situation based on reports. Our approach is guided by the analysis of 1) the structure of a widely used situation awareness platform; 2) stakeholder interviews, and; 3) the structure of existing crisis datasets. Based on this, we extract 102 different competency questions that are then used for specifying and implementing the new three-tiers crisis model. We show that the model can successfully be used for mapping the 102 different competency questions to the classes, properties and relations of the implemented ontology.
Landslide work at ITC
The document summarizes the landslide research and capacity building activities of the United Nations University – ITC School for Disaster Geo-Information Management (UNU-ITC DGIM). The school focuses on developing methods for landslide inventory mapping, studying earthquake-induced landslides, and assessing landslide susceptibility and hazard. This includes developing automated landslide mapping techniques, analyzing historical earthquake landslides, and using statistical, heuristic, and dynamic modeling approaches for susceptibility and hazard modeling. The ultimate goal is landslide risk assessment to help reduce impacts from landslide disasters.

Social media has changed crisis communication by enabling grassroots information sharing and citizen participation. This document analyzes academic research, European research projects, and real-world cases on social media's role in crisis management. It finds that while social media is increasingly used in crises, its collaborative potential remains underutilized. Academic research focuses more on macro perspectives than individual impacts and lacks qualitative studies. Research gaps include empirical analyses of social media tools and non-Western perspectives. Overall, further research is needed to fully realize social media's benefits and address challenges like coordinating unverified information.Results from DRMKC Support System-Spain (Rosa Mata Francès, CP Catalunya and ...

The group developed recommendations to address interoperability, resource sharing, and other long-term challenges in crisis management.
A Holistic Approach to Evaluating Social Media's Successful Implementation in...
As emergency management agencies and organizations implement social media and web technology to support crisis information and communication efforts, many question if present strategies are beneficial. This is especially true if social media is being implemented for the first time or has not been experienced in a live disaster. Studies have been conducted providing information on a variety of interactions between Social Media and Emergency Management (SMEM). However, few have taken a formal scientific approach as a means of measurement providing a 'Comprehensive Performance Metric.' Performance metrics need to have consistency while providing room for implementing unique measurement criteria for individualized efforts. We offer a research design using field studies of real world cases, evaluating rural and metropolitan areas. The result produces a set of 'Best Practices' through implementation. By offering a means of measuring success, SMEM can continue to evolve by using a methodologically sound approach using social media.

Big data as a source for official statistics
This document discusses using big data as a source for official statistics and outlines some key challenges:
1. Big data is often noisy, dirty, and unstructured, requiring methods to extract useful information and reduce noise. Visualization tools help explore large datasets.
2. Big data sources are selective and contain events rather than full population coverage, requiring methods to convert events to units and correct for selectivity.
3. Beyond simple correlation, additional analysis is needed to establish causality between big data findings and other data sources.
4. Privacy and security laws must be followed, requiring anonymization of sensitive microdata or use of aggregates within a secure environment. Addressing these methodological and legal challenges will help realize

The document concludes with recommendations for holistic, cross-border approaches and continuous improvement of building safety systems.
02 introduction know4-drr_menoni
This document provides an overview of the "Know-4-drr" project which aims to enable knowledge sharing for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. It outlines the project consortium members and their roles. It then discusses the rationale for the project, including past failures in areas like land use planning that have increased disaster risks. It proposes several knowledge-sharing activities the project will undertake, such as workshops, seminars and "living labs" case studies to test knowledge development with stakeholders. The document summarizes discussions at workshops on challenges like coordinating agencies and assessing responsibilities under uncertainty. It describes the three living lab case studies in more detail: Vietnam, the Po River basin in Italy, and Lorca Municipality in Spain.

Case studies are also presented on ICT tools currently used in India for disaster management.
Iscram Summer School 2009 From Mashups To Modelling (Tom De Groeve)
Large catastrophes often trigger international humanitarian response. This is a particular context in which many independent actors, including governmental agencies (e.g. search and rescue teams), non-governmental organizations (NGO’s such as Doctors Without Borders), corporations (e.g. Google or Microsoft) and international organizations (including the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) work together to provide first response and subsequent relief and reconstruction assistance. In the absence of a clear command and control structure, situational awareness needs to be acquired by each actor independently. Needless to say that this community is eager to develop and use technology and systems to acquire and share information, and that collaboration and information sharing is generally considered as mutually benefitting.
In the early onset of disasters, information is sparse. Traditionally, there are three main sources of information: scientific monitoring systems (e.g. seismological or meteorological networks), official information (briefings by the local emergency management agency) and media reports. Information management for each source requires different technological solutions, respectively focused on modelling, web portals for information sharing, and linguistic processing. However, more recently a fourth source of information is becoming available through Web 2.0: information from citizens, sometimes labelled crowd-sourcing. In case of a disaster, local (and remote) citizens can and do provide information (e.g. eyewitness reports) or analysis (e.g. compiling reports in an information feed). However, this fourth source is not widely used yet by emergency managers because the reliability of the information is not well understood and hard to assess in a time-critical environment.
The use of risk in environmental management and decision making rescon2013
This document summarizes the journey of the Birmingham Project from a risk-based model to a more proactive and adaptive management approach. It began with using risk assessments to establish an evidence base and identify high risk areas. This risk framework was then used politically to inform policy and guide investment decisions. However, the project has evolved to a vision of an "Ecosystem City" with cross-sector collaboration and bottom-up actions. The document reflects critically on risks of relying solely on a risk-based model and the need to consider uncertainties, values, and local contexts through adaptive management.

Joanne Ho Wildfire Prediction
This document summarizes Joanne Ho's Ph.D. defense on her exploratory quantitative analysis of wildfire and weather in Southern California. Her research question examined whether it is possible to set up an insurance scheme using weather derivatives to cover wildfire suppression costs that exceed budget allocations. Her analysis developed models to estimate the probability of wildfire ignition and expected fire size based on weather variables. She then evaluated whether a payoff function based on these models could adequately compensate for excess fire suppression costs through weather derivatives. The document outlines her methodology, models, results and conclusions that weather derivatives may help address budget risks from wildfires if further research addresses additional factors.
Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System
The document discusses developing disaster alert and impact systems. It describes the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) which provides alerts and situational analysis to help coordinate international humanitarian response.

Ansell sensemaking lecture
This document discusses the concept of sensemaking, which refers to how people construct plausible interpretations when facing ambiguous situations. Sensemaking is prominent in conditions of uncertainty, unfamiliarity, disruption, or distributed action across multiple actors. It involves shaping a frame of reference, extracting cues, and constructing a gestalt or narrative to impose order. Context, prior experiences, and interests influence this process. The document provides examples of sensemaking around crises like mad cow disease and emerging diseases. It also discusses how information systems can support sensemaking during disasters and uncertainty.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
