INFSO Projects impacting EU Policies
 DEWS (Distant Early Warning System)
http://www.dews-online.org 
Based on results of the German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS) the DEWS approach will in a first step provide a Reference Model for interoperable tsunami early warning systems based on the ORCHESTRA Reference Model, the specifications of the GITEWS sensor system platform (Tsunami Service Bus) and regional user requirements that will be represented by the INCO project partners.
 DYVINE (Dynamic Visual Networks)
http://www.dyvine.eu/ 
IST-2005-2.5.12 ICT for Environmental Risk Management Specific Targeted Research Project. It focuses on the integration of thousands of video sensors, fixed or mobile, in situ or airborne, and the development of exploitation applications for area monitoring to support the risk management cycle. Secondly, it concentrates on the associated resilient communication solutions to support the system.
 ERMA
http://erma-project.org/ 
The ERMA project (ERMA is an acronym for Electronic Risk Management Architecture) aims to build a reference platform for risk management in the domains of natural as well as man-made disasters with a specific focus on needs of small and medium-sized communities. In this context communities might be public bodies as well as private sector organisations which share obligations and duties for risk prevention and response.
 ESA: The Service Support Environment (SSE)
http://earth.esa.int/rtd/Documents/SSE_Whitepaper_2.pdf 
As a result of the second call for proposals of the IST programme, three Integrated Projects were selected for the strategic objective "Improving risk management". These are ORCHESTRA, WIN and OASIS. ESA is currently working on standardising the Ground Based segment of the satellite operations.
 EU-MEDIN Initiative
http://www.eu-medin.org/ 
The Euro-Mediterranean Disaster Information Network (EU-MEDIN) promotes the sharing of disaster-related information and data, research, results, knowledge and expertise. The Initiative aims at harmonising methods to improve pre-disaster planning as well as hazard, vulnerability and risk assessments.
 GEO
http://www.earthobservations.org/ 
The intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is leading a worldwide effort to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) over the next 10 years.
 GEOSS: Global Earth Observation System of Systems
http://www.epa.gov/geoss/ 
GEOSS is envisioned as a large national and international cooperative effort to bring together existing and new hardware and software, making it all compatible in order to supply data and information at no cost.
 GITEWS project
http://www.gitews.org/ 
http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/html/projects/TEWS/index-en.html 
German contribution to the Indian Ocean Tsunami Early Warning System.
It is currently being developed by several nations and organizations coordinated by UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).
Based on a Joint Declaration between the German and the Indonesian Ministries of Research and Technology, in the framework of GITEWS the common goal is the design and implementation of a Tsunami Early Warning System (T.E.W.S.) for the Indonesian region.
 GMES (Global Monitoring of Environment and Security)
http://www.gmes.info/ 
ORCHESTRA in the GMES Projects and GSE Database 
GMES is a joint initiative of the European Commission and the European Space Agency , designed to establish a European capacity for the provision and use of operational information for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security.
 INSPIRE (The INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe) initiative
http://inspire.jrc.it/ 
The INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe initiative (INSPIRE) aims at making available relevant, harmonised and quality geographic information for the purpose of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community policy-making.
 INTAMAP: Interoperability and Automated Mapping
http://www.intamap.org/ 
STREP under FP6 (IST Call 5: IST-2005-2.5.12, ICT for Environmental Risk Management) starting on Sept 1, 2006.
 InterRisk project
http://interrisk.nersc.no/ 
InterRisk is an FP6-IST project addressing interoperables GMES services for environmental risk management in marine and coastal areas of Europe.
 ISTweb - Strategic Objectives - Environmental risk management
http://www.cordis.lu/ist/so/env-risk-management/home.html 
This Strategic Objective covers ICT aspects of services for GMES (Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security1) end-users and those aspects that are relevant to the monitoring, the preparation and the response phases of environmental risk/crisis management co-ordinated at European level.
 LIMES: Land and Sea Monitoring For Environment and Security
 
The project will for the first time systematically develop GMES applications relating to security, applying innovative solutions and services based on Earth Observation systems and satellite communication and positioning technologies.
 OASIS: Open Advanced System for dISaster and emergency management
http://www.oasis-fp6.org/ 
 OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)
http://www.oasis-open.org 
OASIS is a not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards.
