The contribution of radio sciences to disaster management

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

When a natural disaster occurs, the fast and effective organization of emergency assistance assumes the rapid provision of reliable information concerning the state of the infrastructure; the creation, in almost real-time, of a response chain and the reconfiguration of telecommunications systems. This article proposes a chain which incorporates algorithms from recent research, with particular focus on communication systems and reconfiguration techniques. The problems of image reliability and the effects created by ionospheric propagation and turbulent surfaces are discussed.
