Secure CITI: A Secure Critical Information Technology Infrastructure for Disaster Management
Overview
The Self-secure and robust Critical Information Technology Infrastructure project (S-CITI for short) aims at providing support to Emergency Managers (EMs) that are faced with management of resources and with decisions before, during, and after emergencies or disasters.
We will use new and existing sensors to gather data from the field, process this data to detect and predict emergency/disaster situations, and disseminate this data among the appropriate organizational units. The data flow will be done in a reliable and secure manner and EMs will coordinate actions in a Virtual Coordination Center, which need not be in a fixed (and thus vulnerable) physical location. The EMs are responsible for indicating what type of data is more valuable, so that S-CITI can display that information appropriately.
S-CITI is being funded through the ITR Medium Award ANI-0325353 from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
