TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 172Potential of ICT in the field of informing and education for citizens on possible situations and preparation for thoseis certainly not directing towards panic propagation; instead, its goal is to introduce the citizens to all elements thatcould contribute to their own security. Numerous forms of communication and information transfer are currentlyavailable for everyone.Hardware prices had decreased in such an amount that even the poorest segments of society have cellular phonesand computers. A comprehensive action to introduce the citizens with significance of timely acquisition ofinformation for survival of their family and loved ones may be a good motive to engage the majority of population.Educative material may be distributed to all families in an appropriate multimedia form: CD or DVD. It is alsopossible to publish presentations on website and deliver its web address via an appropriate leaflet, thus simplifyingthe information distribution process.Use of ICT enables, in addition to continuous collection of information on the transport of dangerous goods,appropriate decision-making for disaster management, as well as the possibility of education and training based onthe simulation of various emergency situations. These activities are implemented using algorithms in the field ofartificial intelligence, using the built-in knowledge base and database, as well as information about the disaster fromthe past.The third part of this paper indicates that there is an option to almost instantly be informed on any accident, scopeand type of contamination. For the information to be useful, a system must exist to timely react on receiving theinformation from the field. The informing an alarming system may also be efficient with use of electronic media.However, we believe that the option to create the network consisting of all cellular phones in the affected territorywas not elaborated enough, which would inform everyone on necessary activities in real time setting.Of course, implementation of this type of project has a prerequisite in strong institutional foundation with clearlydefined strategy, both in national and local level. Existence of a permanent monitoring of potentially risky areas andterritories with early warning system is a prerequisite. A readiness must exist, but accompanied with the capabilityto apply knowledge and innovations in establishing a flexible system for the efficient response in accident situationon all levels. Such a response is possible in the situation of mass accidents only if all potential actors are preparedfor the conditions they might encounter.In the field of roads used for dangerous goods transport, it is necessary to establish a special education program forthe urban planners and designers, so their attention is brought towards the significance of standard application indesigning new streets and buildings under their jurisdiction. Communal inspection offices must also be informedabout their role in norms enforcing, to ensure that the field situation is in line with the office-designed one. Finally,the citizens must know which steps they should take on the first indication of danger, before obtaining detailedinstructions to be forwarded after the full scale of that event is surveyed.The most appropriate system for awareness building for citizens on significance of noted procedures is the systemof education. Later on, via the local government institutions, participation of all citizens in basic forms of educationshould be assured, in order to enable them to independently monitor all changes published by the authorizedinstitutions.It is important to nurture the trust in system and people managing it, so that citizens would act as recommended inany given crisis situation. Direct communication between the citizens, local government and authorized stateinstitution should flow via the persons professionally trained for work in the field and having certain qualitiesgaining citizens’ confidence.
TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 173CONCLUSIONAvailability of reaction plans for the accident situation in inhabited areas surrounding traffic routes used fordangerous goods transport is not satisfactory. General public is almost totally ignorant on procedures, what shouldbe done and in which manner if such conditions are to occur.When the accident situations plan are designed for the events of breakdowns in the area around traffic routes, allprevious experiences from situations should be taken into account. The practice had shown that dangerous goodstransport can potentially cause a great devastation and injuries of citizens nearby roads used for such purposes.Besides the waterways, road and railway traffic routes, risk estimation should also include processing of oil and gaspipelines.ICT offers a great potential in subject field. Starting from model development for the event rollout projection andproduced plans evaluation, down to the procedures for citizens in actual situations. Modern communication systemsprovide monitoring of risky transports, instant acquisition of parameters and swift reaction if the need should occur.An efficient system also covers preparation of citizens for the appropriate reaction, in line with the field situation.The modern media provide endless possibilities, starting from informing via radio and TV broadcasts, down to theeducative materials which may be distributed via Internet or DVD/CD to every address.The intention of the author of this paper is to demonstrate how ICT, in addition to continuous collection ofinformation on the transport of hazardous materials and proper management of emergency situations, can be usedfor education and training based on the simulation of various emergency situations.Failure to take measures in the field of planning and preparation of citizens for crisis situations which might be theconsequence of traffic accidents in dangerous goods transport is a direct breach of the Law on EmergencySituations. The Law on Emergency Situations prescribes obligations for state and other organs and organizationsregarding the situations that may be viewed in this field, as defined by the Law. The Article 3 Point 2 of this Law,among the other tasks, stipulates: protection, being a set of preventive measures directed towards communityresilience strengthening, remedying possible endangerment causes, decrease of natural disasters influence,prevention of other accidence and if such should occur, alleviating their consequences; The same article, Point 8stipulates: organizing and empowering citizens for personal, mutual and collective protection.Defining the prerequisite of public disclosure, the Law prescribes that the data on hazards and acting of stateinstitutions, province institutions, local government, and other protection and rescue institutions operation shall bepublic. The state administration organs, province organs, and local government organs must assure that the citizensdwelling in the area which may be affected by natural or other disaster are informed on danger. 1Presently, the only thing available to the average citizen of the Republic of Serbia is prescribed as obligatory aregeneral recommendations on acting in disaster events, published on the website of the Ministry of the InternalAffairs 2 .In comparison with other state organs, this is indeed commendable; however, the plans for acting in crisis situationsshould urgently being developed, covering all possible scenarios for hazard zones with subsequent presentation tothe citizens potentially endangered by actual crisis situations.1 Law of emergency situations of the Republic of Serbia, available at:http://www.mup.sr.gov.yu/cms/resursi.nsf/Zakon%20o%20vanrednim%20situacijama.pdf (25th March 2010.).2 Ministry of the Internal Affairs, sector for the protection and recovery:http://prezentacije.mup.gov.rs/sektorzazastituispasavanje/saveti.html (25th March 2010.).
