1. Earthquake Scenario Coordinating Field Emergency Control Centre Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links Coord. FEC National/ regional/ local Authority Hazard Zone Incident sector The police will stay in the incident sector. Op: Operationals FCC: Field Coordination Centre ECC: Emergency Coordination Centre Hazard Zone: The area which is defined as dangerous. Ceases to exist as H.Z. once it has been cleared of dangers.

2. Earthquake Scenario Damage control/ Search and Rescue (Fire and Rescue department) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links F&R ECC F&R FCC National/ regional/ local Authority SAR/FF Fcoord Dec. unit Hazard Zone Op. Incident sector The main activities of Fire and Rescue are carried out insiden the Hazard zone

Hazard Zone Incident sector The emergency teams within the incident sector will communicate with hospital(s) on patient matters, and with Medical ECC on matters of resources etc. Em.t.: Emergency team

4. Earthquake Scenario Public Order (Police) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links Police ECC Police FCC National/ regional/ local Authority Op Hazard Zone Incident sector The police will stay in the incident sector.

5. Earthquake Scenario Repair of Infrastructure/ Utilities (Service Providers) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links Water/Power Eng.t National/ regional/ local Authority Hazard Zone Roads dep. Em.t. Railways Em.t. Incident sector Water, food and shelter are normally Supplied by the same entities, but power supply is the responsibilty of companies/ entities which normally have separate communication systems etc. They stay outside the Hazard Zone. Sup. p: Supply point Eng.t: Engineering team

6. Earthquake Scenario Emergency Supplies/ Temporary Shelters/ Sanitation (Municipal Authorities) Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links Supplies/ shelter Municipal Supplies/ Shelter unit Sup.p National/ regional/ local Authority Hazard Zone Sanitation Em.t. unit Incident sector Sanitation Municipal Water, food and shelter are normally Supplied by the same entities, but power supply is the responsibilty of companies/ entities which normally have separate communication systems etc. They stay outside the Hazard Zone. Sup. p: Supply point Eng.t: Engineering team

7. Earthquake Scenario Defence forces Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links The role of the defence forces will vary between countries and incidents. The roles may be within supplie,s SAR and others. Depending on the roles they may work both in the incident sector and the Hazard Zone. F.C.: Field Command National/ regional/ local Authority Em.t Hazard Zone Em.t. F.C. Incident sector Defence

8. Earthquake Scenario NGOs Temporary telecoms links Existing telecoms links The number of NGOs participating, and their roles, will vary widely between incidents. Their organisation will also vary, what is shown here is a generic model which may in real incident be representative for their organisation and needs of telecommunications means. Depending on capacities (medical care/ SAR dogs) they will work inside or outside the Hazard Zone National/ regional/ local Authority Hazard Zone Em.t. Em.t. Incident sector NGO(s)
