The main objective of the SnR was to establish an efficient synchronisation framework managing the data, developed services, and information flow between the different authorities involved in emergency management operations and the crisis managers (Rescue forces, Police, Fire department, etc.). Ad hoc web portals and additions to stakeholders’ systems and back-offices provided a common, uniform, and ubiquitous platform for collecting, analysing, and sharing real-time data from the sensors, drones, and rescue robots for supporting management decisions. Federated security enabled access by different stakeholders to services provided by different stakeholders. Thus, SnR aspired to build a state-of-the-art framework that integrated:
1. Advanced sensors, systems and procedures to obtain high level awareness capabilities
2. Secured data collection and information flow between the different authorities and agencies which are involved in the crisis/abnormal events management
3. Fusion of data from different sources and creation of a Common Situational Picture for supporting decisions of emergency and crisis management
4. A multi-tier architecture of information processing, the result of which will be accessible in a ubiquitous manner by all the actors involved
