Vulnerability and Remedial Modelling of Telecommunication System in Emergencies

Taking into account that Dalmatia, due to its natural characteristics is exposed to the dangers caused by natural or some other catastrophes, within DPPI (Disaster Preparation and Prevention Initiative) a project for telecommunication and information support during emergency situations is conceptualised. Within the project a decision support system (DSS) is developed. The objective of DSS is to support decision processes in the phases of preparation, prevention and planning of protection system from natural and other catastrophes, as well as in phases throughout intervention during emergency situation in the telecommunication segment. Basic module of such conceptualised DSS is GIS of the area covered by project with all necessary data about the region. Using combination of GIS and multicriteria methods, according to the dominant natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, weather, wildfires and others, data about vulnerability of telecommunication system are generated. Other modules of DSS contains alternative plans of telecommunication system functioning during natural catastrophes, based on the system vulnerability, such as: automatic using of optic fibre rings and SDH equipment, as well as physical intervention into the system on the planned positions (positioning of mobile GSM and other stations, and other alternative solutions through fixed telecommunication network) and logistic operation as giving priority to the certain users, changing the area code numbers, establishment of alternative routes, etc.
