International Cooperation in Securing Material Resources to Handle Crisis Situations
Annotation
The most important issue in ensuring the material resources necessary to handle crisis situations is efficiency. The decisive factor in safeguarding resources is the required amount of funds. For this reason, it should be contemplated whether a more effective international cooperation would lead to higher efficiency and cost optimization in this task.
The author defines some basic types of possible cooperation, both in the building of material resources and during their use in practice, and reviews the possible international cooperation on the basis of two documents, namely the Agreement on an International Energy Program, which has been a binding standard for the Czech Republic since 2001, and the proposed Agreement on Priorities and Allocations Systems – draft of a standardization agreement of NATO countries. Based on the common features of these two documents, the author sets out to define the ground conditions for a successful implementation of international cooperation projects in the area of material resources for crisis situations.

Project 1H-PK2/35: “Verification of the SPREAD Model“ and its Exploitation in Modeling of Life-threatening Situations
Annotation
Nowadays, the inhabitants and environment can be endangered by dangerous substance not only when they escape from processing and manufacturing facilities, but also in case of a terrorist attack. To be able to provide credible numerical models of the events, it is necessary to develop and verify a relevant model of spread and impacts. Although there is a wide range of software tools already available, very few of them are capable of modelling the spread of aerosol clouds. However, no high-quality model can do without being tested and verified in real conditions. For this reason it is necessary to carry out field tests under pre-defined conditions and using the latest detection methods, and to evaluate the measured data in order to gain information necessary for the improvement of the model and specification of boundary conditions for its future use. In the Czech Republic this issue is covered by the project of “1H-PK2/35: Verification of the model of spread and impacts of life-threatening events” carried out by T-SOFT Company, Occupational Safety Research Institute, ISATech and Spolchemie.

Crisis/Security Management Applications Interoper-mobility Improvement on the Basis of Enduser Requirements Involment
Annotation
Our era of new global threats and contemporary global economic situation asks new control/regulation behaviour of the organizations, human corporations and their Process Systems - PrSs. This situation indicates the priorities of never-ending crisis management, which can't use quantitative behaviour of participant and actor’s entities. Never-ending already permanent crisis ask the most effective behaviour aiming to the co-operation, collaboration, integration and technological ascendancy of all process actors, application user include. Such behaviour needs capabilities of controlled/regulated processes and systems, which exploit successful crisis/emergency/disasterEvents managements in their work: the creativity, adaptability, flexibility, efficiency, resilience, survivability, collaboration, cooperation, expertness, sensitiveness, easy obstacles negotiation, mobility and considerateness. These capabilities are displayed at qualitative indicators - the value added, operability, interoperability and mobility (an interoper-mobility). This situation requires approach changes and new remedial methodology DYVELOP - Dynamic Vector Logistics of Processes. Crisis/emergency Management Workshop Baseline camNETour arisen in cooperation with T-Soft Praha, will be presented in live Powerpoint dramatization.

System Support to Recovery and Damage Settlement
Annotation
Every emergency or crisis situation entails enormous damage to the health and lives of the population, their property, environment and other interests and values important to the society and its functioning. Each stage of recovery of the affected subject within a lifecycle of the emergency / crisis situation effects represents a period unanimously described as strenuous. The strenuousness represents a significant burden in terms of money, time and above all, psycho-social or societal difficulties. That is why prompt response and assistance to those affect at this stage is as important as during the preparation for and handling of the emergency / crisis situation, if not more so. Admittedly, the application of modern technologies and system solutions after the negative effects of the events themselves have subsided cannot compensate for the spiritual harm and material loss suffered, yet it can make a substantial contribution to the timely and effective help to the affected subjects, which is often crucial.

Generational IT Change within the Ministry of Agriculture
Annotation
The cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Telefónica O2 managed to deal with a number of integration links and processes within the application layers of individual data sources. This cooperation, coupled with good ideas, high-quality team of skilled professionals and the right project focus, proved to be a success guarantee and led to lower bureaucratic levels within the agricultural public.

Hospital R2 LM as a Crisis Management Tool
Annotation
Role 2 Light Manoeuvre is a punctually defined hospital facility, the only passable body according crisis systems demands, such as fast accessability of specialized medical care during any crisis. In comparison to other medical treatment facilities, a R2LM is fastly mobile body containing surgical module at site of disaster. A relative weakness is characterized by low number admitted patients simultaneously. The highest impact of deployed R2LM might be during disasters in low populated areas without accessable health care.

Sensitivity Analysis within Risk Analysis Based on Monte Carlo Method
Annotation
Many industrial enterprises have the legal responsibility to prove that their facilities are safe and that the risks has been analysed. This is applied especially to the enterprises who are processing or exceedingly using chemicals. There are usually set types of scenarios of unwanted events, frequencies of outflow and possible consequences. From this data is determined the value of risk for realistic scenario. In addition the value of risk is being determined also for pessimistic and optimistic scenarios. For the modeling of such scenarios is being used specialized and often single-purpose software.

In my article is covered an issue related to transport of noxious substances in radioactive waste repository. There has to be demonstrated that in the long run the substances will not leak on the surface and thus don’t harm future generations. Transport of noxious substances in the granite massive is being assessed be specialized software. The required inputs are (among others) the material constants of the specific rocks. The input data could be retrieved just in limited accuracy and thus the outcomes of the model have limited exactitude, too.

In order to increase accuracy and validity of calculated results the Monte Carlo Method was applied. This method is based on multiple repeated random experiment. Every random experiment has different input parameters that are generated from particularly given statistical distribution. This leads to different outcomes from the model. The later analysis is based on multiple repetitions of the random experiments that leads to lots of simulations with diverse inputs and outputs. From the calculated results are mathematically derived optimistic, realistic and pessimistic scenarios.

The determination of risk by Monte Carlo Method is applicable not just on the transport of noxious substances but also on leakage of chemicals from industrial facilities. The Monte Carlo Method is applicable on the tasks, where inputs have stochastic behavior.

New Possibilities of Information Services in Crisis Situations
Annotation
The contemporary society is with increasing intensity exposed to various situations that need to mediate different actual information for different places and different groups of people. The current emergency and communication systems in the Czech are not able to satisfy concrete information needs of individuals as well as to distribute required information just to affected areas. The sharing, distribution and dissemination of adequate information in crisis and unexpected situations is one of the crucial roles of any governmental level. With proper distribution of information could be possible often saved not only material values but also human lives.
The contribution describes Radio-Help as possible solution based on the integration and exploitation of existing ICT. The special broadcasting sender transmits in HD-Radio or DRM mode data and voice to responsible Communication Terminals (CT). The position of CT is compared with position codes of digital broadcasting. Conformity of internal and received codes activates the forced radio reception.

Lessons Learned from Former Radiation Accidents on Development of Software Tools for Effective Decision Making Support
Annotation
Potential failures occurred in man-made processes can cause dangerous phenomena resulted in accidental releases of harmful substances into the living environment. Hazard evaluation and decision-making focused on early warning and protection of population have the highest priority. Reliable and up to date information represents basic inevitable conditions for effective management of the intervention operations targeted on mitigation of consequences during emergency situations. This appeared to be a basic lesson for the further progress of emergency preparedness procedures, which has arisen from Chernobyl accident, where the lack of reliable information has shown to be the main reason of poor effectiveness of countermeasures. Decision making has to be supported by a proper user-friendly simulation software tool complied with advanced theoretical methodology with access to all latest relevant data.
The crisis management should come out from a reliable simulation of space and time of an accident evolution, which should take into account all available information including physical knowledge of the problem, expert judgment of input data, on line measurements from terrain and others. Optimal statistical blending of all this information resources presents a significant tool for decision making support even for incomplete definition of an accident scenario and uncertain knowledge of the initial conditions. Development and application of such advanced statistical methods have been accomplished in the institute ÚTIA AV ČR within the grant project supported by GAČR (2007-2009) with aim to improve the reliability of the model predictions on basis of assimilation with measured data incoming from terrain, specifically from the Early warning radiation network of the Czech Republic. The results related to a certain retrospective analysis of a hypothetical radioactivity release with the real meteorological forecast from March 31, 2009 will be illustrated.
