Vulnerability indicates the level of damage
caused by a certain phenomenon to humans
and their assets. Risk means the probability of
the humans and of their assets to be harmed
by a phenomenon of a certain size. The
elements that incur risk are the population,
the properties, communications, and
economical objectives in an area (3) .
The causes of these hazards are the climatic
changes, the seismic activity, but also the miss of
the sustained actions for the maintenance and the
modernization of the protection works as well as
the miss of the environmental parameters
monitoring systems.
As a part of European Union, Romania must
have a liability approach of the prejudice of
environment with devastating consequences.
National strategy for flood management risk,
approved on December, 22, 2005, identifies
activities specific to flood management risk:
preventive activities, operational management
activities, activities required to be made after
floods occur; and requires: finding the right
solutions, for applying the approved
environment policies.
The problematical of the environment
protection in the sustainable development
context concentrates on the natural disaster
causes detection, the prevention of possible
deteriorations, the global approach of the
effects with consequences on socio-economic
development on long and medium term.
II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. System Purpose
The project's aim is to elaborate technological
support, necessary to environmental
parameters acquisition in due time,
evaluation, prognosis, follow evolutions and
intelligent management of risk to flooding in
an exposed area to hazard (2) .
The purpose of the shown system is to
contribute on the national effort of floods risk
management by realization of an intelligent
decisional support which will assess in real
time the environmental parameters required
by floods risk management in urban crowded
places, on the basis of high technology like
integrated mediums for historical data
analysis, technology for modeling (1) and
prognosis, GIS applications and mobile
devices for operative activity coordination.
The system will offer complex services.
The system is meant to floods risk
management and it permits online acquisition
of environmental parameters; assures the
introduction of data about this kind of
hazards, into relational data base; uses a
complex system of data analysis based on
stochastic simulation, numerical method of
evaluation and online analysis techniques of
data storages for simulations, decisions and
population information needful prognoses.
The aim of the system is that of preventing and
prealarming about the imminence of flooding
occurrence in pilot zone. In this purpose, the
system evaluates the real time evolution of the
acquisitioned environmental parameters, on the
basis of stochastic models and calculation
procedure; realizes floodings prognosis that
zone; generates the alerts to inform the decision
factors; relieves the efficiency of consolidation
measures; it informs and forms the staff from
environmental domain.
The project has the following scientific and
technical goals:
- building a real time data acquisition
technological platform, analysis and
decision taking - support of on-line
monitorization of the parameters of the
environment and the intelligent
management of risk to floods;
- implementation of analysis GIS support
(hazard map and risk map of studied area);
- implementation of services of risk
management to floods;
- operative information in due time the
decision factors and population on static
and mobile access devices;
- the elaboration of prognosis solutions and
evaluation of risk to flooding in
determined areas and temporary intervals;
- the evaluation of functioning of the
hydromechanics installation operating
in the dynamic regime to drain away
large water flows;
