1.1 Diverse types of Disasters in China

Category Example

natural hazard

Droughts, typhoons, storms, floods, hail, ice, snow, wind, high temperature, dust storms, lightning and other weather disasters, earthquakes, mountain collapse, landslides, mudslides and other geological disasters, forest and grassland fires, a major biological disaster, agricultural pests and diseases

accident disaster

Civil aviation, railways, highways, waterways, rail transportation and other major transportation accidents, industrial and mining enterprises, construction, public places and organs, enterprises and institutions of all kinds of major security incidents, have a significant impact and the loss of water supply, electricity, fuel land gas and other urban lifeline accident and communications, information networks, special equipment and other accidents

public health

emergency

infectious diseases caused or may cause serious damage to the public health, mass unexplained disease, a major food and occupational poisoning, a major animal epidemic, as well as other serious impact on public health events

social safety

Major criminal cases, foreign-related emergencies, terrorist attacks, and the larger mass emergencies

Economic crisis

Resources, energy and the necessities of life is a serious shortage of financial credit crisis and other serious economic disorders, economic turmoil and economic security emergencies


1.2 Various Dissemination Systems

All ministries or departments have various public alerting systems. E.g.

• Disease outbreaks by National Health and Family Planning Commission through Press conference, the news media

• Earthquakes by China Earthquake Administration through Web sites, fax

• Geological Disaster by Ministry of Land and Resources through SMS text on cell phones , radio, television, Web sites

Main question: Time effective, incomplete coverage, lack of interoperability and information sharing

1.3 Dissemination of Met disaster Information

I. Possesses branches all over the whole nation

(1 State-level, 31 Province-level, 342 Prefecture-level, 2379 County -level)

II. Vertical and Horizontal network

III. Facilitated satellite resource for back-up

IV. Multi-dissemination channel

VI. Demonstration

23/4/20 16


Define different levels of alerting according to Emergency Schemes issued by related authorities.

(1) extreme First level(Red):

(2) severe Second level(Orange):

(3) Moderate Third level(Yellow)

(4) Minor Fourth level(Blue):

(5) Unknown Unknown

3.1 Modification

TyphoonRainstormHigh temperature


Define publishing strategy based on alerting type and

severity

The publishing methods and objects can be

automatically extracted when alert category and severity are

confirmed by sender according to preset regulations.

3.2 Innovation


Define the item ’code’ for publishing methods selection. <code> <method> <methodName> ‘TV|Radio|WEB…’ </methodName> <message> ‘content of <description>’ </message> <audienceGrp> ‘Group 1: duty officers of Meteorology ’</audenceGrp> < audenceprt> ‘Li Ming, Wang Fang ’</ audiencePrt> </method> </code>

<methodName>: the coding of publishing methods which includes SMS, LED, loudspeaker, TV, Radio, WEB, Phone and Fax. <audienceGrp>: the publishing objective group of the selected method. < audenceprt>: the publishing objective individual of the selected method.

3.3 Extension


Re-define the item ’Headline’ and

automatically generated as

<sender>+”publish”+ <severity>+ <eventType> +”alerting” .

eg. <sender>CMA publish a <severity>red < eventType>

snowstorm alerting.

3.4 Explicit definiton


Geography indication includes both GIS polygons and Chinese-

CAP geocodes.

Alerting System



26


4.1Target

I. Construct 4-level-release system, consists of national, provincial, prefectural and county

II. Establish the warning information release mechanism, clarify the release authority ， processes and ranges of different levels of warning information

III. Integrate the variety of existing dissemination channels

IV. Promote the dissemination and receive capacity of rural and pastoral areas, mountainous areas, fishing areas and other remote areas

27

① Mobil Internet-based warning information release system

② VHF digital broadcasting system

③ Countryside warning dissemination system

Full media release terminal

Phase Ⅱconstruction

To key industries

④ Beidou satellite

Phase Ⅱconstruction

To public

4.2 Method for Dissemination

Phase ⅡconstructionTo public

Integration the existing Systems


4.3Work to do

• Existing system has been tested with meteorological, marine and geological disasters. What about other types of hazards?

• How to integrate other systems’ information? we are considering conversion tools.

• The new release method need work to be connected with CAP.

• ……
