Abstract

Within the German Security Research initiative, the integrated project SECURITY2People (Secure IT-Based Disaster Management System to Protect and Rescue People) aims at exploring the needs for and the structure of an integrated disaster management system that is applicable for all types of emergencies and at all levels of emergency management from the local to the Federal Government. Having started in mid 2009, the project will end November 2012. Based on modern IT-technology, a web portal with interconnected portlets has been designed. Portlets for functionalities such as Situation Awareness, Message Management, Knowledge Databases, Key Performance Indicators, Multi-criteria Analysis, Strategic Decision Support, Strategic Simulation, Action Force Management, Analysis and a Social Media Component have been designed for the final demonstrator. External components have been integrated via the Interoperability Platform of SECURITY2People. The final version will be demonstrated to potential end users in October/November 2012. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
