  1. GSC10_GRSC3_04 Agenda Item: 5.8 ITU-R activities on Public Protection & Disaster Relief InternationalTelecommunication Union Prepared by Colin Langtry, Counsellor Radiocommunication Study Group 8, BR and Fabio Leite, Deputy-DirectorRadiocommunication Bureau

  2. ITU-D ITU-T Assistance to developing countries in a multi-hazard, multi-technology, multi-phased, and multi-stakeholder approach (www.itu.int/ITU-D/emergencytelecoms/) Telecommunication standardizationas priority schemes, security and quality of service (www.itu.int/ITU-T/emergencytelecoms/) ITU-R Radiostandards and harmonized spectrum for prediction, detection, alerting & relief(www.itu.int/ITU-R/information/emergency/) ITU Overview ITU Public Protection & Disaster Relief

  3. Disaster phases and the radio services/ITU-R groups involved

  4. Disaster prediction and detection Meteorological and Earth exploration satellite services • operated in the main by government and international agencies • play a major role in prediction and detection of disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis, floods, fires, dangerous pollution, etc.)

  5. Disaster alerting • Alert the central/regional/local authorities responsible for warning the public – fixed, mobile, fixed/mobile-satellite • Issue warnings to the people likely to be affected- broadcast, sound and television- mobile (such as SMS)

  6. Disaster relief • Amateur – a long history of aiding with communications during disasters • Earth exploration satellite – damage assessment • Fixed/mobile satellite - to rapidly restore communications capabilities • Fixed – transportable, higher capacity - point-to-point and local area • Mobile – coordination of relief activities, both private and public systems used

  7. Relevant ITU-R Recommendations on PPDR

  8. WRC-03 agenda item 1.3“… identification of globally/regionally harmonized bands … for the implementation of future advanced solutions …, including those dealing with emergency situations and disaster relief, …;” Spectrum: ITU-R studies Resolution 646 (WRC-03) • Strongly recommends use of regionally harmonized bands: • Region 1: 380-470 MHz as the frequency range within which the band 380‑385/390‑395 MHz is a preferred core harmonized band for permanent public protection activities within certain countries of Region 1; • Region 2: 746-806 MHz, 806-869 MHz, 4 940-4 990 MHz; • Region 3: 406.1-430 MHz, 440-470 MHz, 806-824/851-869 MHz, 4 940‑4 990 MHz and 5 850-5 925 MHz.

  9. Resolution 646 (cont'd) • Encouragesadministrations to facilitate cross-border circulation of radio equipment intended for use in disaster relief situations • Invites ITU-R to continue its studies concerning technical and operational implementation and possible additional identification of other frequency ranges for certain countries in Region1

  10. Global circulation status of studies Recommendation ITU-R M.1637 “Global cross-border circulation of radiocommunication equipment in emergency and disaster relief situations”Recommendation ITU-R M.1579“Global circulation of IMT-2000 terminals” • Recognize the importance of the needs of organizations dealing with disaster relief

  11. Needs of future systems status of studies Report ITU-R M.2033 “Radiocommunication objectives and requirements for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR)” • Defines objectives and needs for the implementation of future PPDR solutions • Focuses on operational needs around 2010

  12. Amateur involvementstatus of studies Recommendation ITU-R M.1042-2 “Disaster communications in the amateur and amateur-satellite services” • encourages the development of robust, flexible and independent amateur service and amateur-satellite service networks, capable of providing communications during disasters and relief operations

  13. Future activities • Study the protection and spectrum needs of advanced meteorological/Earth exploration satellite systems (WRC-07) • Study implementation technologies for disaster alerting and disaster relief communications solutions • Revise and update Report ITU-R M.2033 on PPDR systems and characteristics in line with operational and technology developments • Fixed-MF/HF(new Question: Technical and operational characteristics of systems in the fixed service operating in the MF/HF band used for disaster mitigation and relief (Doc. 9/52)) • Broadcasting (new Question: Broadcasting means for public warning and disaster relief (Doc. 6/184)

  14. What’s next • Regionally harmonized frequency bands have been identified for disaster relief operations; global approach maybe needed • Studies are continuing regarding the development of meteorological and Earth exploration-satellite & fixed services • Further studies are required on advanced technical and operational solutions for disaster alerting and disaster relief communications
