Objectives of the Working Group on Risk Management related to ICT for the environment

This working group was created upon a decision of the TC4.6 Fachausschuss the 23 March 2007 in Berlin. The objectives are to share experiences with ICT on the following topics related to risk management:

• technical, chemical risks at regional and transboundary cartographic issues
• risk modelling issues for factories, railways, highways, pipelines, maritime traffic
• disaster management and emergency response
• data processing related to risk management issues
• health and biological risks issues for humans and the environment
• aircraft crash risks on infrastructure

Membership

These fields are both related to the follow-up of legislation and management for local and regional authorities as well as for factories owners of SME's and of transnational companies.
Researchers and technicians from public and private sector are invited to communicate experiences and discuss the necessary strategies for methodological, technical and managerial improvements.
