IRMA Vision
• An innovative use of advanced ICT has the capacity to provide at a low cost, very effective tools to improve substantially environmental risk management effectiveness even when the data infrastructure and or the telecommunication infrastructure is limited.
• In addition, the IRMA experience will pave the way to a range of new applications in support of regional development such as:– Environmental management– Regional planning– Next generation IP based networks
IRMA Project Goals• To develop and validate a state-of-the-art ICT service
platform designed to support the management of a wide range of environmental risks during all risk phases from risk assessment to recovery
• To integrate existing generic services provided by international organizations
• To develop additional local services• To assess the value of IRMA by implementing five disaster
scenarios validated by the stakeholders• To make a substantial part of the IRMA platform available as
open source free software
10
IRMA technical approach (continued)
• Create solutions that are as universal as possible
• Interworking with existing networks is a wish but not in the focus of the project
• Trial and validation activities will show the application of the results in the real life crisis scenarios
• Results of u-2010 project as showcase for other countries

IRMA Expected Achievements
• A coherent suite of architectural concepts and methodologies applicable to multi-risks management situations in Africa, including advanced multiple vulnerability assessment to cope with complex emergencies.
• An integrated set of tools, compliant with the above mentioned concepts and methodologies and with current and emerging international standards.
• A pre-operational infrastructure and access-platform, assessed by end-users through operational scenarios serving as reference for future larger scale deployment and providing
the facilities for prototyping risk management systems and for supporting
a rapid development of applications services.
13
• Specific applications (bushfire, flood, desertification and urban risks) dedicated to the demonstration of multi-risks management in Africa.
• A versatile communications system enabling high and/or low rates Internet transfer.
• A reliable, low cost communications system enabling alert messages and possibly emergency communications in any location of Africa (i.e. even where no electricity is supplied)
• A management concept to monitor and automatically control the functions of services and networks shown as critical through the dependability and vulnerability analysis.
IRMA Expected Achievements
14
IRMA Contribution to EC policies• DG Development: the EU strategy for Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) in Developing Countries, whose objective is to contribute to sustainable development by reducing the burden of disaster in the most vulnerable countries and by the integration of DRR into development and humanitarian policies and into crisis response.
• DG Environment: to contribute to the creation of a Single Environment Information Space and to INSPIRE
• DG Information and Society: advancing the Internet by deploying IPv6, especially in Africa
• DG Research: to contribute to the validation of the SICA approach to international cooperation
with developing countries
DG Enterprise: to integrate upcoming GMES downstream services 15
